Majijeol 1977
In 1977, the Majijeol was revealed, a fancy luxury saloon, convertible and coupe with a 6.0L V16 from industrial counterparts of KYI’s brand. Using high quality parts, the Majijeol consisted of a 4-speed automatic, magnesium wheels, solid 2-piston disks all around, fully clad undertray, hand-made interior and luxury 8-track with additional sound system as well as an experimental hydropneumatic suspension. With the Majijeol’s elegant looks and style as well as superb reliability, it did exceedingly well. The limited production ran by order, running to 100 limited edition models.
It was offered in revised colours: Midnight Black Pearl, Imperial Blue Metallic, Imperial Red Metallic, and Imperial White Metallic.
Majijeol 1982
In 1982, it received a facelift now with AWD, electronic 4-speed automatic, vented disks all around, cassette player and variable hydraulic. The updated engine now ran a multi-point injection twin turbo setup, making a hefty 277hp, able to reach 160mph. The very experimental, almost non-production model was made to order and only 10 were produced, with one being made on an extended wheelbase for the president of South Korea.
