American car (1980–1983) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Phillips Berlina is an American neo-classic car built in Pompano Beach, Florida. Debuting in 1980, it was designed by Charles W. Phillips in the style of the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster.[2] It used stretched C3 Chevrolet Corvette underpinnings, coupled to fibreglass bodywork.[3] As for the Corvette, power steering and brakes, powered tinted windows, and tilt steering were fitted. The fuel-injected 5.7-litre V8 engine in the 1982 Berlinas offers 200 hp (149 kW) at 4,200 rpm, for a top speed of around 180 km/h (110 mph).[2] The earlier carburetted version (L81) had 190 hp on tap. By 1982, a special "Coupé SE" version was also available.[4]
