Rayton Fissore · 1985–2003
Rayton Fissore Rayton-Fissore Magnum
The Rayton-Fissore Magnum is an Italian-designed and built luxury off-roader, in small scale production between 1985 and 1998. The American V8-powered versions were marketed as Laforza and were built from 1989 until 2003. The Magnum began life intended for military and police use, but the Tom Tjaarda designed car, fitted with an Italian leather interior in the spirit of the Maserati Biturbo, and a range of 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines, was marketed as a "luxury 4x4." It was intended as a competitor for the Range Rover and designed to meet those needs the Range Rover left unfulfilled at the time, such as a more luxurious interior and more fuel-efficient smaller engines - including turbodiesels. Better fuel efficiency was essential to European market conditions. The vehicle was refreshed in 1998 with a facelift to include more modern amenities, but still used the same basic body and drivetrain.
