In 1968 a replacement was developed: the [[Tatra 613]]. It was styled by the Italian styling house of [[Vignale]] and was a more modern, less rounded shape. It was not until 1973 that the car went into production, and volume production did not begin until the following year. Although the layout remained the same, the body was all new, as was the engine, which was equipped with four overhead camshafts, a higher capacity motor (3495&nbsp;cc) and an output close to {{convert|165|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}. In addition, it had been moved somewhat forward for improved balance. These cars were built in five series and went through several modifications until production ceased in 1996. Over 11,000 cars were built, and sales slowed to a trickle of just a few dozen per year towards the end of production as Tatras began to seem more and more outdated.
