Predecessor | Tatra 613 |
The Tatra 700 was a rear-engined luxury car released in 1996 by the Czech car maker Tatra. It was essentially a heavily restyled version of the Tatra 613 model it replaced.
The T700 was offered as a saloon with either a 3.5- or 4.4-litre 90° air-cooled V8 petrol engine, or as a 2-door T700 GT saloon model.
The model was not successful, nor produced in large numbers, and production was halted in July 1999. The Tatra 700 was the last passenger car made by Tatra, although it continued to build commercial vehicles.
