Did Safety Kill America's Only Mass-Market Hot Rod?

Summary

76% Informative

The Plymouth Prowler was a neo-retro front-engined, rear-wheel-drive two -door roadster.

It was intended to be another model garnering the same fervor from the consumer market akin to the Dodge Viper.

Instead of a V8 engine, it sourced its energy from the 214-hp Chrysler SOHC 3.5-liter V6 engine, which was chosen because of packaging restrictions.

The design might have rubbed some the wrong way, especially the segmented front crash bars/bumper arrangement.

The Plymouth Prowler's powertrain was anything but "hot" It didn't lend itself to the kind of shenanigans people might have expected, and wasn't as exciting to drive as a proper hot rod.

Fewer than 12,000 examples were sold by 2002 , with the final example built on February 15th, 2002 , and it was replaced by the Chrysler Crossfire in 2004 .
