High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Daimler DK400, originally called the Daimler Regina or formally the Daimler DF400, was a luxury car made by Daimler Motor Company between 1955 and 1959. It was generally equipped with limousine bodywork but some were built as hearses for funerals and at least one was equipped with a coupe body. An unusual feature of the limousine was that the occasional middle seats were three abreast. The DK400 was the last Daimler model to use the company's unique fluid flywheel transmission that had been originally patented way back in 1930 but was replaced in the Majestic by a more modern Borg- Warner fully automatic transmission. A major change in gearing, however, saw the direct-drive top gear replaced by a direct-drive third and an overdrive top. This, intended to improve the car's ability to cruise at high speed with its large engine, however, was a failure because the transmission could not cope with the torque available from an engine capable of producing 167 horsepower (125 kW) at 3,000 rpm.
