The first new Daimler model for 7 years was announced, following customer demand for the return of the Daimler marque. Powered by a 400-bhp (298-kW), DIN, 4.2-litre, V8 supercharged engine with 6-speed automatic gearbox, the all-aluminium-bodied Daimler Super Eight had high levels of interior equipment, including fold-down business trays, lambswool rugs, electric rear seats, four-zone air-conditioning and a television tuner.
