The 1986 Vestron film The Wraith showcased a variety of Mopars. The movie featured several Dodge Daytonas, gave a first glimpse of the the Plymouth Sundance (about a year before it was introduced) and a battered \'65 Plymouth Barracuda. However, it was the 1984 Dodge M4S prototype sports coupe that stole the show in the movie (donated by Dodge to the film makers).
The \'Turbo Interceptor\' 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype This vehicle should have top billing over Charlie Sheen in the film (it was in the movie for about twice as many scenes as Charlie Sheen!). This car is known as \'The Wraith\' or \'Turbo Interceptor\' in the film. The vehicle was originally a pace car developed by Chrysler and PPG in 1984. Over 30 cars were constructed for the film for various stunts and crash sequences. The beauty version of the car featured a $30,000 paint job. The M4S was a slippery teardrop sports car design that was seriously considered for production. However, Dodge did not produce it because of high manufacturing costs (the marketing people in 1984 saw no market for a high-performance Dodge sports car for about $50,000 -- although the Viper proved otherwise).
The vehicle was track tested and achieved a top speed of 194.8 miles per hour. The car\'s drivetrain utilized a 5 speed manual transmission out of the \'85 Dodge Turbo Daytona. The engine was a stock block, the durable 2.2 liter Inline four used in other Dodge offerings like the Dodge Daytona and Aries. This engine made 400 horsepower thanks to twin Garrett T25 turbos, a twincam Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head and Bosch L-Jettronic fuel injection (this research was later used to developed the 2.2 liter Turbo 4 used in the Iroc Daytona and Spirit R/T). Under normal driving conditions, this engine combination averaged around 27 mpg in the city and over 30 at highway speeds (mileage dropped to around 23 mpg past 150 mph). Other Notable features on this car are Gullwing doors and its clam shell hood. The really nice part, this vehicle featured a mid-engine layout (very unique for a Mopar). Actually, the Dodge Designation M4S stands for Mid-engine 4 Cylinder Sport. The car also featured a perfect 50/50 weight distribution between its front wheels and rear wheels. It rolled on 15 inch aluminum wheels (depicted with a gold tint in the film). These same wheels soon became optional on Daytona, Acclaims and Chrysler minivans.
This is the original movie prop car used to film the race scenes in the movie THE WRAITH. This car is NOT a copy!
Hello from Wichita, Kansas!
Yes, it\'s a real Turbo Interceptor! I have one of the actual Dodge M4S movie prop cars from The Wraith. Over the many years of storage, the car has been stripped of its qualities. The car was acquired in October, 2003 and it came as pictured - no interior, no dash, a Buick V-6 power-plant and Corvette wheels. Even the Chrysler Pentastar had been covered with Bondo!
I am restoring the car at this time and will be adding pictures of my progress to this website. I will put in a Dodge 2.2 liter with twin Garrett turbo-chargers and am looking for a 16 valve Cosworth head. Feel free to email me with help and/or parts. I have found the correct gold rims and black leather seats.
I understand that Chrysler - Dodge has the original car in a museum. There were six more made for the movie - four were blown up during the filming of the movie and two were used for the road race. I have one and understand the other is in Pennsylvania, but I don\'t know the exact whereabouts of the second car.
I found the Turbo Interceptor in Kansas. Hard to believe it was such a long way from the Arizona desert.
Вот вам и машинка )))) движок 2.2 литра, твинкам турбо 400 лошадок, макс. скорость 311 км/ч, разгон до 100 около 4 секунд ... все субарики, мицухи, скайлайны отдыхают, а машинка то 84 года ))))

[quote=Толястый]Dodge PPG Turbo Interceptor[/quote]
PPG Dodge Turbo Interceptor / M4S / The WraithBest known for role in The Wraith, the M4S / Dodge Turbo Interceptor is in storage at the Walter P. Chrysler museum (Derek Beland). The pace car was built by Chrysler and PPG for $1.5 million, and six additional copies were made for the movie filmed in 1986 outside of Tuscon, Arizona, starring Charlie Sheen and Nick Cassavettes. The car was rear wheel drive, with the basic 2.2 block topped by a Cosworth 16 valve, dual-cam head and fed by Bosch fuel injection with twin turbochargers (John Abram Cargo). Road & Track claimed 440 horsepower, 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, and a 12.9 second quarter mile; the mid-engine design was loosely Daytona-based.
Four still exist; one is at PPG headquarters, one is in a museum. A kit car with the same basic look was made for a while, using a different engine. It was shown at the 1986 Chicago Car Show. Reportedly, a 600 horsepower engine was installed in one copy.

Although based on an eighties Dodge Daytona which is technically a G-platform, the Indy World Series Dodge Pace Cars nonetheless represent the apex of K-platform engineering. A Chrysler 2.2L topped with a Cosworth twin-cam head served as the mid-engine heart of this eighties automobile of the rear-drive future. Twin turbos helped the mill create 440 horsepower. An even more futuristic version of these cars known as the M4S Turbo Interceptor starred in The Wraith alongside Charlie Sheen. Though a slew of the cars were built for the movie, the M4S was never put into anywhere near production. Gullwing doors made for star quality egress – Mike Bumbeck
похоже этот тот же. только вот на один поставили движок в 600 хп.
