Nissan Prince Royal

The Nissan Prince Royal was a specially manufactured for the Japanese Imperial House of Nissan automobile. It replaced the Rolls- Royce Phantom V, which was used in the 1960s and then the coming of the 1930 Mercedes -Benz 770 replaced. The Japanese automobile industry boomed in the 1960s and the Japanese imperial family was looking for a Japanese automotive manufacturer that could produce the most appropriate for the Emperor of Japan cars. In September 1965, the Prince Motor Co. announced that it would build two such vehicles. May, 1966 Prince went on in the Nissan Motor Co., and so they brought the brand name Nissan in the car.

Because of the high car weight you had a 6.4 - liter V8 OHV engine ( engine capacity: 260 hp ( 191 kW ) 6373 cc, power) and use special heavy duty tires from Bridgestone. The front wheels were independently suspended by double wishbones and coil springs, rigid rear axle hung on longitudinal leaf springs. All wheels were fitted with servo-assisted drum brakes. A three BorgWarner automatic transmission with steering wheel gearshift was also built.

The car had rear doors with rear stop, which opened in particularly wide angle. There were eight seats in three rows of seats. The two middle seats were foldable and served the security personnel. Between them there was a bar The rear seats were covered with thick upholstery fabric, while the driver sat in a separated by a disk space on a leather seat. The windows in double glass had curtains. For communication with the driver used a telephone.

2006, the two cars were replaced by four Toyota Century Royal.
