- "This long-lived model is a tradition of French cars.
The Bataille is a very long-lived model, if not as much as the Dirigeant. Since it was its debut in 1979, this year marks its 20th anniversary. However, the target is completely different from the Dirigeant and the pace vehicle is equipped with a V6 2,000cc OHC engine and although it is a little old type, it has a Latin scent. However, the tune-up technology cultivated over the long period of 20 years cannot be overlooked. Nowadays, the displacement is bored up to 2,500cc, the engine that is well-developed is less troublesome, and you can enjoy fighting in high ability at the qualifying level, which is a reliable finish and it is one that you want to ride for a long time."
