Daimler DS420 Engines and Transmissions

The Daimler DS420 engine is a gasoline unit chosen for quiet, unhurried cruising rather than sporting pace. Power goes through an automatic transmission, so the chauffeur can focus on the road while the drivetrain stays smooth for passengers. That layout is typical of a long-wheelbase Limousine used for official and ceremonial work.
