Jay Leno is no stranger to odd movie cars, and now he can check ‘The Wraith’ off his shortlist. A total of four Dodge M4S (Midengine, 4 cylinder, Sport) prototypes were made between 1981 – 1987 and all of them were designed to achieve a top speed of 200 mph.
Power comes from a Chrysler twin-turbocharged 2.2L four-cylinder engine making 440 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The vehicle was designed by then Dodge chief designer, Bob Ackerman, but the actual construction was handled by subcontractors, including Huffaker, which made the semi monocoque race car chassis.

Imagine showing up to your local cars and coffee in that. Nearly forty years after the movie, I bet it will still draw a crowd of admirers. To this day, there’s nothing else like it on the road. Powered by a 2.2L four with dual ‘hair dryers’ (turbochargers). Outguns Ford’s current Ecoboost 2.3 by an easy hundred ponies. Even Ford’s larger 3.5 turbo would have a tough time keeping up,” said one fan.
