The Tatra 613 is a large luxury rear wheel driven car with rear-mounted

Tatra from 1974 until 1996 as a replacement for the Tatra 603
series.

It featured an all-new body styled by

DOHC air-cooled 3.5 litre V8 engine with 168 PS (124 kW).[2] Later injection versions reached 200 PS (147 kW), with a maximum speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). The design was updated a further five times until being replaced by the Tatra 700
in 1996, itself a restyled T613-5.

The Tatra 613 vehicles were mostly used by government officials, industry executives and in limited numbers were also used as police cars and as the rapid response fire fighting and rescue vehicles during motorsport events.
