Plymouth Turismo

The Plymouth Turismo was a front-wheel-drive sports coupe built by Plymouth from 1982 to 1987 and derived from the Plymouth Horizon. Until 1982 it was sold as the Plymouth TC3 and was renamed Turismo for the 1983 model year, when the economy version Miser was dropped. The base car had a 1.7 litre Volkswagen inline four of 63 PS, replaced early in 1983 by a 1.6 litre Peugeot four of 64 PS, while a 2.2 litre four of 95 PS was optional and the Turismo 2.2 had it tuned to 101 PS. A 1984 facelift brought twin headlamps, a new hood and a wider C-pillar, and in 1985 the Turismo 2.2 reached 112 PS. Production ended in summer 1987 after 204,000 cars had been built.
