The model is also the tallest with 1.495 meters of height and now competes with the Mercedes S-Class and the BMW 7-series. The vehicle is scheduled to go on sale in the States towards the end of 2010.
EQUUS Stretch Edition is the extended-wheelbase version of the Equus full-sized sedan, which is 30 centimeters longer than the standard model.
EQUUS Limousine will be available with a choice of two engines, including the Lambda 3.8L and the Tau 5.0L. The maximum output of the vehicle is 400ps, while the peak torque rating is 51.0kg.
The Stretch Edition will be priced starting from 135 million won ($113,200) and can go up to 146 million won ($122,180), depending on the options and the engine type.
