The Z7X 711 in Eagle's big saloon — 150 bhp of Douvrin V6 for the American market.

Eagle / Renault Medallion · 150 bhp

Sold under both Renault and Eagle badges, the Medallion took the same Z7X 711.

Dodge Monaco (1990) · 150 bhp

Dodge's turn: the Monaco carried the Z7X 715, the PRV's other American variant.

The famous compatriot

They weren't the first PRVs in America: the DeLorean DMC-12 had already made the V6 a movie star.

The engine

Z7X 711 and 715: the US-market 3.0
