The Chrysler Conquest, a sporty coupe manufactured from 1988 to 1989, was a badge-engineered version of the Mitsubishi Starion, a popular Japanese sports car produced between 1982 and 1989. Chrysler, looking to bolster its own lineup with a more performance-oriented offering, partnered with Mitsubishi to import and rebrand the Starion as the Conquest. The Conquest shared the Starion's sleek, wedge-shaped design, with its retractable headlights giving it a distinctive and aggressive look. Power came from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, available in two levels of tune. The Conquest's standard engine produced 145 horsepower, while the optional "ESI" model, dubbed the "TSI" in Mitsubishi guise, offered a potent 173 horsepower with additional modifications to the turbocharger and intercooler. This performance, combined with the car's light weight and balanced handling, made the Conquest a capable and compelling sports car in its segment, competing with the likes of the Toyota Supra and Nissan 300ZX.

While both the Conquest and Starion shared the same mechanical underpinnings, there were some subtle differences between the two. Chrysler fitted the Conquest with a different interior, featuring its own unique dashboard design, upholstery, and trim elements. The Conquest also received a unique grille, taillights, and wheel designs, all contributing to a slightly different aesthetic than its Japanese counterpart. Despite these differences, the Conquest remained highly regarded for its sporty performance and overall value. It offered a compelling package for those seeking a fun-to-drive vehicle at an affordable price point. While the Conquest was discontinued after just two model years, it left a lasting impression on the American market, solidifying its place as a memorable entry in the sports car segment of the 1980s.
