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.
