Big Cars

Tata, the Indian giant of the engine, announced at the beginning of year the purchase to Ford of three emblematic British marks, Jaguar, Land Rover and Daimler, by some one thousand million pounds (if I do not make a mistake, some 1.270 million Euros, that says prompt). And after similar outlay, as it is logical, the new owners will treat of potenciar said marks, and for this Ratan Tata, maximum leader of the Indian mark, has announced his interest by reflotar the British mark of superlujo Daimler, that would be destined to compete with Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Daimler Was founded  in 1.896 and always has been associated to the British Real Family, in fact, in 2.002 Reina Elizabeth II received a Daimler Super V8 exclusive as I give, and thus goza of a glorious reputation like constructor of superlujo.

The plans of Tata have marked an aim of investment of one thousand million pounds to develop new models of the British marks purchased to Ford, by what is likely that splits of this money devote to develop a new limousine of superlujo championing by Daimler that can do front to Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The plans of sales centre his aims in the British markets, Russian, Asian and of Middle East.

In the actuality Daimler is not what was in the past, an independent mark with suntuosos own models, but that has to conform with realising versions something more exclusive of the XJ, the berlin of big luxury of Jaguar, whose last model commercialise from the 2.005 under the denomination Super V8 to a price something upper to the 130.000 euros.

It is built on the base of the Jaguar XJ of long battle and instruments an engine V8 of 4,2 available litres in atmospheric version or sobrealimentada by compressor. The atmospheric version delivery 298 cv and 41,9 kgm with what accelerates of 0 to 100 km/h in 6,6 seconds, by his part, the version sobrealimentada delivery 396 cv and 55,2 kgm, accelerating of 0 to 100 km/h in 5,3 seconds. In both cases the maximum speed is limited electronically to 250 km/h.
