Just looking through the new Motor Trend for Nov. and saw it, then Deja Ju hit me! This car was first introduced to us in 1986! It's pretty close to the car that was in the movie "The Wraith".

That was a Dodge M4S
M4S (Dodge PPG Turbo Interceptor; 1981, 1984) prototype, perhaps best known for its movie role in The Wraith, is in storage at the Walter P. Chrysler museum (Derek Beland). It had a 2.2 block and five speed manual with a Cosworth 16-valve twin-cam head, dual turbos, and Bosch fuel injection, making 440 hp with 0-60 in 4.1 and a 12.9 quarter with 195 mph top speed (Road & Track figures). It was mid-engined and loosely Daytona based. It was an actual Indy car in 1981. There are reportedly four still around, one at PPG HQ, one at the museum. For a time, a replica was being made as a kit car with a different engine.
