Remember “The Wraith”? – Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor
You know, “The Wraith” starring Charlie Sheen and
No clue? That’s ok. It wasn’t an 80′s blockbuster. Although, “The Wrath” did feature a Dodge concept car that was violent, invincible, hissed ala KITT, and loved plowing through other cars to kill its prey.
“The Wraith” was a refurbished 1981 PPG Turbo Interceptor. Probably the most hardcore K-Car models in the history of the Five-Star dealer, Turbo Interceptor was seen on race tracks as an Indy World Series Pace Car. For the film’s production, its body was beefed up and painted black.
The movie model (built in 1982) was a more advanced Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor – which stands for “Mid-engine 4-cylinder Sport. 6 prop cars were built, 4 of which were only bodies and destroyed during filming. Another two fully-functional props were built for an estimated $1,500,000. The Dodge M4S was powered by a Mopar 2.2 “Trans” four cylinder engine twin-cam that produced 440 horsepower. And, in case you didn’t figure it out by now, was very much turbocharged.
Originally grossing a mere $1,500,000 “The Wraith” has become nothing short of a cult classic for automotive movie lovers.

I like this concept car. When I was 10 years old, then I saw “The Wraith” film.
Hey,I just saw one of the two actual running cars at a Daryl Starbird custom car show in Wichita,Kansas. It was documented and they were playing the movie on a small tv in front of it. It is actually two tone. If you watch the movie,you can see the the seperation of the two colors.
Looking for a car from my child hood movies got one would be sweet email me… Thanks
I work on the Wraith Car Project. If you have any questions about the car, or official kits, you can e-mail me at allfornot@gmail(dot)com
The paint job on that car cost $30,000.00 !!!!!!!!
Awesome stuff.
such a classic, now finally got the film after many yrs, i was 8yrs old when this came out and its still great even to todays standards.
I love the Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor, one of the coolest cars ever built. This car was way ahead of design times, and I am curious if any of the kits are still available. And what is included and how much? Thank you for your time
I finally found the movie after years of searching! I watched it tonight and it was as awesome as I remembered…if only there was a soundtrack just of the wraith’s roar!!! I’m not a Chrysler fan but the M4S Turbo Interceptor is WAY cool.
The movie came out when I was 5 and I haved loved it since. still the coolest car I have ever seen in a movie besides the batman tumbler!
I just wanna say I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! I wasnt even born when it came out but i saw it when i was 13… im 22 now and im lookin to build my own wraith car!! I want to do everything from the paint all the way to the 440 hp turbo charged 2.2 4 cylinder mopar motor!!!
I was so young when I first saw the Wraith & I was awestruck by the sight of the car, after so long I had forgotten the name but not the car, never the car. Finally a friend & I were speaking of car movies & as I sat describing the details of this magnificent machine in it’s dark beauty, he mentioned the name. Now I own the movie & hope to one day own the kit to put one together. I’m a tuner at heart & this movie single handedly began my pasion for cars.
Im interested in any info bluprints and parts for the M4S and what chassis are close to the original?? also u say the original prop from the movie is in the museum??
im looking for a kit car of the turbo interceptor from the wraith or at the least the body, can anyone help me out?
yeah i own a right hand drive nissan skyline r32 fast and furious car its in my drive way right now but my dream car is allways been the wraith is it for sale any were dude and how mutch would one cost or will it still be just a dream thx
having worked as a technician for Chrysler for 15 yrs looking at the pop up doors and the round sleek nose on this car. I can help think I’m seeing a slight resemblance to the VIPER of today.
I’ve seen a few hints that some of you are looking for a kit. I help work on the restoration of the original car. If you’re interested in a kit, drop me an e-mail. allfornot@gmail(dot)com
What an Awesome movie! The Wraith is still tight!!!…I ordered the movie from Walmart. Just finished watching it tonight. I was 14 when the movie came out, and I still love the car.
And I thought I was the sseinlbe one. Thanks for setting me straight.
I got the movie and I sw a big mestake on the backside of the cover.
they call the car(dodge m4s turbo inteceptor) a porsche!!!
WTF? if you make a movie you know what car you use right??
@richardows The people who make the movie are different from the people who right the crap on the packaging.
I saw this one in theaters when I was a wee small boy, I have wanted a Turbo Interceptor ever since.
Its like looking at the sunset on da ocean!!!!
I was only 7 at the time….this is still in my eyes, by fare the best car for any boy to fall in love with……… If only they’d sell em in the uk. I’d sell me nuts
It’s funny I knew a guy in Illinois who brought a set of plans he drew up out to the collage here in town and put them on the cad, he sent them into a company who submits ideals to industry,I seen the letter that said the plans were to ahead of time and they couldnt use them,then this car came out a year later, very strange they looked identical, well you take it from here.
