Dodge Stealth
The Dodge Stealth was a sport coupe that was produced by Dodge and Mitsubishi from 1991 to 1996. It was based on the Mitsubishi 3000GT, but it had a different front end and interior. The Stealth was produced by Mitsubishi in Japan.
Dodge Stealth Overview
The Dodge Stealth was a sports coupe that was produced in the 1990s, and it stands out as one of Dodge’s unique ventures into the performance car segment during that period. It’s particularly notable because of its origins and relationship with a famous Japanese sports car. The Dodge Stealth was introduced in 1990 as a 1991 model. Production continued through 1996.
The Stealth was essentially the American twin of the Mitsubishi 3000GT. The two cars were the result of a collaboration between Chrysler and Mitsubishi, and they were produced side by side in Japan. It was available as a 2-door coupe with a design that was very indicative of the early 1990s – aerodynamic, with pop-up headlights and a sleek profile.
Depending on the trim, the Stealth was powered by a range of V6 engines, from a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 to a twin-turbocharged version of the same engine. Both manual and automatic transmissions were available. The base models were front-wheel drive, while the higher performance R/T Turbo version came with all-wheel drive.
The R/T Turbo was the range-topping version, equipped with the twin-turbo V6, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel steering, making it a direct counterpart to the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. Today, the Dodge Stealth (especially the R/T Turbo) is remembered as a unique entry in Dodge’s history and is appreciated by enthusiasts for its blend of 1990s styling and performance.
