Introduced for the 1991 model year, this nameplate marked Dodge’s entry into the early-1990s Japanese-American sports coupe era. It was the Dodge-badged counterpart to the Mitsubishi 3000GT, sharing its underlying architecture and much of its engineering while being sold through Dodge dealers in the United States. The car was aimed at buyers who wanted a stylish, high-tech grand touring coupe rather than a traditional rear-wheel-drive muscle car, and it stood out in Dodge’s lineup for its low-slung shape, aerodynamic styling, and emphasis on advanced performance features for the period.
From the start, the model was offered in multiple trims that ranged from a more affordable front-drive version to higher-performance variants with all-wheel drive and turbocharging. That gave the nameplate a broader personality than a simple badge-engineered clone: in the showroom, it could play both the role of a sleek personal coupe and a serious enthusiast machine. The top versions, especially the turbocharged performance models, gave the car a strong following among import-performance fans and helped define its image as one of the most ambitious cars associated with the brand in the 1990s.
The car remained in production through the 1996 model year, after which the nameplate ended without a later revival. It is remembered today as a short-lived but distinctive chapter in Dodge history: a Japanese-built, technologically ambitious coupe that sat apart from the brand’s more familiar trucks and muscle cars, and one that has earned lasting interest from collectors and enthusiasts.
