The Dodge Conquest, produced from 1984 to 1989, was a compact sporty coupe that marked a significant departure from Dodge's traditional truck-focused image. Originally conceived as a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi, the Conquest was a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Starion, sharing its platform, powertrains, and much of its design. It was marketed as a relatively affordable and fun-to-drive alternative to European sports cars, offering a blend of performance, handling, and style. The Conquest's aerodynamic body, featuring a distinctive wedge shape and pop-up headlights, was a hallmark of the era's design trends. It also came equipped with a range of powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines, offering a unique driving experience for its time. Under the hood, the Conquest was offered with two turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. The standard engine produced 145 hp, while an optional high-output version bumped the output to 175 hp. Both engines were mated to a five-speed manual transmission, offering a sporty feel and engaging driving experience. The Conquest's combination of sleek styling, potent power, and relatively affordable price tag made it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking an entry-level performance car. Despite the positive reception, the Conquest's sales were hampered by its limited production run and the emergence of newer and more powerful competitors. However, its legacy lives on among car enthusiasts who appreciate its unique design, performance, and affordability, making it a sought-after classic car today.
