1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo �€" Twin Turbocharged AWD Sports
Coupe with 79,319 Miles Why This Car Is Special The 1991 Dodge
Stealth R/T Twin Turbo sits at an interesting crossroads in
American automotive history. Chrysler, in the midst of a global
partnership with Mitsubishi, brought this car to market as the
American-badged counterpart to the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. Both
cars were built at Mitsubishi's Nagoya plant in Japan, and both
wore the same basic engineering underneath their different skins.
The distinction matters because the top-spec Stealth R/T Twin Turbo
gave American buyers something genuinely rare for 1991: 300
horsepower, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and a
twin-turbocharged DOHC V6, all in a package that stickered for well
under $35,000 new. Comparable performance from a European brand at
the time would have cost significantly more. The 10th position in
the VIN confirms this car was built in Japan, consistent with all
Dodge Stealth production. The model year code confirms it as a
1991, the first year of the Stealth's run. The R/T Twin Turbo was
the top trim level, separated from the base Stealth and the
naturally aspirated R/T by a meaningful step up in both hardware
and complexity. What the R/T Twin Turbo offered that almost nothing
else in its price bracket could match was a complete performance
package engineered from the ground up as a unified system.
All-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, a limited-slip differential,
and intercooled twin turbos weren't bolted-on additions �€" they
were part of the original design brief. The odometer shows 79,319
miles, which for a 30-plus-year-old sports car with this level of
engineering represents a vehicle that has been used but not abused.

Mechanical The engine under the hood of this 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T
Twin Turbo is Mitsubishi's 6G72 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve V6, fitted
with twin turbochargers and an air-to-air intercooler. In this
configuration it produced 300 horsepower and 307 lb-ft of torque.
The two turbos are arranged in parallel, with each one serving a
bank of three cylinders. The intercooler sits prominently atop the
engine under a hood vent designed specifically to feed it cooler
outside air �€" a functional detail, not decorative. The engine
photos confirm the original twin turbo intercooled valve cover
identification and the DOHC 24V casting on the opposite cam cover,
consistent with the correct R/T Twin Turbo powertrain. Power runs
through a 5-speed manual gearbox, which is the transmission most
buyers of this car prefer. The all-wheel drive system sends torque
to all four wheels, and a limited-slip differential helps manage
power delivery at the rear axle. The four-wheel steering system,
which was a legitimate engineering feature rather than a marketing
item, turns the rear wheels in the same direction as the fronts at
higher speeds to improve stability, and in the opposite direction
at low speeds to tighten the turning radius. Anti-lock brakes were
also standard on this trim level. The undercarriage photos show the
AWD transfer case, front and rear independent suspension geometry,
and the dual exhaust routing to the quad tips. The floorpan appears
solid. Surface oxidation on exhaust components is expected on a
vehicle of this age and mileage and does not indicate structural
concerns. The independent multi-link rear suspension is clearly
visible and intact. Interior The inte
