The 1988 Chrysler/Dodge Conquest, also known as the Mitsubishi Starion, was a sporty coupe that made a name for itself in the late 1980s. Sharing its underpinnings with the Mitsubishi Starion, the Conquest was essentially a rebadged version sold by Chrysler and Dodge. It featured a sleek, aerodynamic design with sharp lines and a low profile, characteristics that were common during the era of the "turbo-charged" sports car. The Conquest was available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, catering to different driving preferences. Under the hood, it housed a 2.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower, which propelled the car to a respectable 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The Conquest's sporting character was further enhanced by its responsive handling, precise steering, and well-tuned suspension. However, the Conquest's popularity was overshadowed by its reliability issues. The turbocharged engine, while potent, was known for its susceptibility to problems, particularly with the turbocharger itself. Additionally, the car's complex electronic systems were prone to failure, adding to the maintenance burden for owners. Despite these drawbacks, the Conquest remained a stylish and capable sports car for those who appreciated its performance and unique styling. The 1988 model year marked the final year of production for the Conquest, and it was discontinued after facing tough competition from other sports cars that offered better reliability and value for money. Nevertheless, the Conquest left its mark as a distinctive and somewhat daring attempt by Chrysler and Dodge to enter the competitive sports car market. The car remains a reminder of the era when turbocharged cars were at the peak of their popularity, and it continues to be cherished by enthusiasts who appreciate its unique character and performance capabilities.
