The Dodge Conquest, produced from 1982 to 1990, was a sporty coupe that marked a significant departure from the brand’s traditional truck-heavy lineup. This front-wheel drive coupe was actually a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Starion, a testament to the burgeoning partnership between the two automakers. The Conquest offered a sleek, aerodynamic design with a distinctive wedge shape, featuring pop-up headlights that added to its aggressive appearance. Under the hood, the Conquest was powered by a 2.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, capable of generating 140 horsepower in its standard configuration, or a more potent 175 horsepower with the optional intercooler. The Conquest’s performance was further enhanced by its independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, providing nimble handling and a rewarding driving experience. The vehicle became known for its affordable price point, making performance attainable for a wider range of car buyers.

While the Conquest was a relatively successful model for Dodge, it faced competition from other sporty coupes like the Toyota Supra and the Nissan 300ZX. Despite this, it carved a niche for itself as a budget-friendly alternative with decent performance and styling. The car's popularity was also bolstered by its appearance in several films and television shows, further cementing its status as a cult classic. However, the Conquest's production life was ultimately limited due to declining sales and the changing automotive landscape. By the late 1980s, the demand for sporty coupes began to wane, as consumers gravitated towards SUVs and minivans. The Dodge Conquest was discontinued in 1990, leaving behind a legacy of affordability and engaging driving characteristics that continues to resonate with enthusiasts today.
