sports sedan based on theDodge Lancer . Offered by Shelby for 1987 only, the Shelby Lancer was intended to be an American counterpart to such European sedans as theBMW 3-Series andPeugeot 405 . It was well-equipped inside with many amenities not offered on the normal Lancer, including a special 10-speaker Pioneer CD audio system.Power came from Shelby's Turbo II 2.2 L Intercooled I4, with 175 hp (130 kW) and 175 ft·lbf (237 Nm). Weight was over 3,000 lb (1,360 kg), so performance was not as good as the
Shelby GLHS with a 7.2 s run to convert|60|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on.Special wheels and blacked-out trim called attention to the Shelby graphics on the lower body. 800 Shelby Lancers were made, split evenly between 5-speed manual and automatic/leather cars. Dodge carried on the car with the 1988 and 1989 Lancer Shelby, which is not to be confused with the true Shelby car.
