FactSold in America as the Plymouth Arrow, its body found a second life on drag strips wearing pro stock and funny car paint.
A hatchback coupé on the Lancer's 2,340 mm wheelbase (length up to 4,115 mm), introduced in February 1975 as the Lancer Celeste, succeeding the Galant FTO, which had sold poorly because of confusion with the Galant GTO and a high price. Sold as the Colt Celeste, Chrysler Lancer Hatchback (Australia), Dodge Lancer Celeste (El Salvador), and as the Plymouth Arrow (from January 1976) and Dodge Arrow in North America, rear-wheel drive with a solid rear axle on leaf springs and MacPherson struts in front. Originally 1.4 L and 1.6 L, with a 2.0 L added (1975 for export, 1979 in Japan); a July 1977 facelift brought the A140 codes and MCA-Jet engines, the GT System 80 (November 1977) was the fully equipped version, and the 105 PS 2000 GT came in June 1979. The 1979–80 Plymouth Fire Arrow had a 2,555 cc four making only 105 hp under US emissions rules. Production ended in July 1981, replaced by the front-drive Cordia. Widely raced (SCCA, rally, drag racing, and its body was used on pro stock and funny cars).

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
