Ümumi Baxış

The Chrysler Conquest was a badge-engineered version of the Mitsubishi Starion — a turbocharged sports coupe developed through Chrysler's joint venture with Mitsubishi Motors. Sold in North America from 1987 to 1989, the Conquest TSi featured a 2.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 176 hp in standard form, with a later 197 hp "Wide Body" Starion being effectively the same car with wider bodywork.

The Conquest offered genuine sports car performance for its era — relatively quick, with sharp front-wheel-drive handling, pop-up headlights, and a wedge-profile body that turned heads. The Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest is remembered fondly by 1980s Japanese-American car enthusiasts as a genuinely engaging turbocharged sports coupe.

In Azerbaijan, the Conquest is an exceptional rarity — a niche 1980s Japanese-American sports coupe that appeals to enthusiasts of the era. Three-year production run makes surviving examples scarce.
