The ZIL-115 is a Russian-built limousine, produced in the late 1970s by ZiL. It was primarily used by mainly Russian dignitaries on foreign visits and army generals. Their primary color was black it was mainly for the Soviet governmental use but a few heads of state from some Arab and African countries also used them for official transport. The interior of the car was quite well made and very well suited to heads of state. It is still used today by the Russian head of state on official visits.
