Plymouth Prowler

The history of the Plymouth Prowler

   

The Prowler was said to have been inspired by Chrysler engineers being given free rein to create whatever they wanted in a "hot rod" or "sportster" type car. One of the Prowler's most striking design features of the are the open, style front wheels.
Although not officially credited, car designer Chip Foose's Chrysler sponsored senior project car at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design,  (the Hemisfear), seems to evolved into the Plymouth Prowler.
The Prowler featured a 3.5 L V6 engine producing 214 bhp (160 kW; 217 PS). The 1999 model year the engine was replaced with a more powerful 253 bhp (189 kW; 257 PS) version of the engine. Both engines were used a 4-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is located at the rear of the car and is joined to the engine by a flexible driveshaft , an arrangement is similar to that used by the C5 Corvette, Porsche 944 and Alfa Romeo 75, helping facilitate a desirable 50-50 front-rear weight distribution. 
The Prowler was the first rear-wheel drive Plymouth since the 1989 Plymouth Gran Fury.
