High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Facel Vega 'Facel II' was a French Grand Touring car produced between the years 1962 and 1964. By 1962, the Paris-based Facel Vega company was facing bankruptcy and the Facel II (pronounced '2') was to be that company's last chance of creating a successful luxury GT car in the French tradition. The Facel ll was powered by an American 6.3-litre (380 cu in) Chrysler 'Typhoon' engine which produced 355 hp (265 kW) in automatic gearbox form and 390 hp (291 kW) in manual. The Facel company advertised it as, Le Coupe 4-places le plus rapide du Monde. Using Chrysler's 3-speed Torqueflite automatic gearbox, the 6.3 litre Facel ll could reach over 135 mph (225 km/h). With a French Pont a' Mousson 4-speed manual gearbox the full-4-seater 6.3 litre Facel ll could attain over 150 mph (247 km/h) and out-accelerate its 2-seater rivals, the Aston Martin DB4, Ferrari 250 GT and Mercedes-Benz 300SL to 60 mph (97 km/h) and all except the Ferrari to 100 mph (160 km/h).
