The Chrysler Conquest, a sporty coupe produced from 1988 to 1990, was a unique blend of American and Japanese engineering, representing Chrysler's attempt to capture a slice of the burgeoning sports car market. Though marketed as a Chrysler, the Conquest was actually a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion, built in Japan and imported to the United States. The car boasted a distinctive wedge-shaped design, a hallmark of the era, with a low-slung profile and an aggressive front end. Its sleek lines housed a powerful 2.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, capable of generating 175 horsepower, which was impressive for its time. This power was delivered through a smooth five-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic, allowing drivers to experience both thrilling acceleration and respectable fuel economy. The Conquest's interior, though simple in design, prioritized functionality and offered a surprisingly comfortable driving experience.

Despite its impressive specifications and a relatively affordable price point, the Chrysler Conquest struggled to gain significant traction in the competitive American market. The car's Japanese origins, combined with Chrysler's struggling reputation at the time, hindered its overall appeal. Moreover, the Conquest faced fierce competition from established sports cars like the Toyota Supra and the Nissan 300ZX, which offered a more refined driving experience and greater brand recognition. Ultimately, the Conquest's production run was relatively short, ending in 1990. However, the model remains a unique and intriguing piece of automotive history, a testament to Chrysler's ambition to compete in the high-performance market and a reminder of the era's fascination with turbocharged sport coupes.
