The ZIS-101 was a limousine produced by the Soviet car manufacturer Zavod Imeni Stalina. It was introduced in 1936 and was equipped with an 5.8 L (354 cu in) straight-eight engine producing 90 PS (66 kW) and giving a top speed of 115 km/h (71 mph).[1] The car was fitted with a 3-speed manual gearbox.[1]

It was followed by the ZIS-101A that had improved the engine giving 110 PS (81 kW) and a new top speed of approximately 130 km/h (81 mph). Production ended in 1941 with over 8,000 cars built.

In 1939, a two-seat sport version designed by Valentin Nikolaevich Rostkov called 101-Sport was built.[1] The engine was the same as in the 101-A, but boosted to 141 PS (104 kW) and a top speed of 162 km/h (101 mph) (although a Pravda article claimed 170–180 km/h). It was, however, not made in more than one or two copies.
