The 80’s will forever be remembered for the decade’s cheesy music, videos, clothing line, and movies. But the one thing that people will fondly look back at on this decade was the cool cars that came out. One of those vehicles was the 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype.

The 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype will always be remembered as the vehicle used by Charlie Sheen in the movie, The Wraith. For the film, the car carried the name “Turbo Interceptor.” It was meant to be a one-of-a-kind car that could outrace pretty much anything that had a set of four wheels. The funny thing here is that, in reality, the 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype was really one-of-a-kind and could pretty much go against any car at that time.

Originally made by Chrysler and PPG in 1984, 30 of these vehicles were produced solely for the film. Although it proved to be quite a head turner in the movie, Dodge decided not to push through with mass producing the 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype due to high production costs. Doing so would prompt them to sell the car at a high price.

Of course had Dodge pushed through with it, the company would’ve probably had a hit on their hands. Thanks to the combination of a 2.2 Trans Four OHC 8 valve I4 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, the 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype is able to produce 400 horsepower, 300 lbs-ft of torque, hit the top speed of 194.8 mph and go from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 4.1 seconds.

Given how the 1984 Dodge-PPG Twin Turbo M4S Prototype performed, it’s such a shame that Dodge failed to capitalize on it. The only way for you to get a good look at “what could have been” is to settle for watching the movie, The Wraith. Yes, just like you, we prefer to see the real thing on the road instead.
