The car from “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 vehicle was track tested and achieved a top speed of 194.8 miles per hour. The car's drivetrain utilized a 5 speed manual transmission out of the '85 Dodge Turbo Daytona. The engine was a stock block, the durable 2.2 liter Inline four used in other Dodge offerings like the Dodge Daytona and Aries. This engine made 400 horsepower thanks to twin Garrett T25 turbos, a twincam Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head and Bosch L-Jettronic fuel injection (this research was later used to developed the 2.2 liter Turbo 4 used in the Iroc Daytona and Spirit R/T).
