CSR 142: A Place in My Heart (Finished)

Turból c400 4.3

About

1995 introduced the 5th gen Centurion, known as the c400 in sedan form. While maintaining some characteristic traits of the previous generations, like the creased fenders, grill-less front fasia, and full-width taillight fixture; the rounded, flowing, and low-slung design brought the new design squarely into the 1990s. Mechanically, the c400 was more evolution than revolution, maintaining the longitudinal RWD architecture with available 4xAll all wheel drive, and a choice of 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic. New for this 5th generation Centurion was a major update to Turból’s 4000 series V8; an enlarged iron-block variant now displaced 4.3 liters with 4 valves per cylinder. Despite the sporty looks, the c400 was now more luxury-oriented than ever, growing in size and weight and with an exceptionally lavish, well-built interior and a more cossetting suspension tune. Despite some limited use of aluminum in the body, weight continued to increase.
