The heaviest car recently in production (up to twenty-five were made annually) appears to be the Soviet-built Zil-41047 limousine with a 3.88 m (12.72 ft) wheel-base, weighing 3,335 kg (7,352 lb). A stretched Zil (two to three made annually) was used by former President Mikhail Gorbachev until December 1991. It weighed 6 tonnes (13,000 lb) and used 75 mm. (3 in) armor-plated steel for protection in key areas.
