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 interior of this 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo is finished in black leather throughout. The front bucket seats show expected wear for a car with 79,319 miles — the bolsters and lower cushions have surface creasing consistent with regular use, which is honest and appropriate. The rear seating area presents better, with the leather showing less fatigue, as is typical. The Stealth logo floor mats are present on both sides.

The dashboard layout is distinctly early-1990s Japanese performance car. Three auxiliary gauges are mounted at the top center of the dash in a cluster angled toward the driver — a signature visual element of both the Stealth R/T and its 3000GT sibling. The steering wheel carries audio controls along its lower spoke, and the Dodge logo is centered in the hub. The instrument cluster features a 9,000-rpm tachometer and a speedometer reading to 180 mph, both of which were appropriate for a car rated at 300 horsepower.

The center console houses the 5-speed shifter and includes a separate automatic climate control panel above the radio stack. The head unit is the factory Mitsubishi digital synthesized receiver with a separate CD player mounted below it — a period-correct setup that reflects how the car was originally equipped. The automatic climate control display uses a red digital readout and was considered a premium feature in 1991. Power windows, power door locks, and power mirrors round out the convenience equipment.

Exterior

This 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo is finished in red, which suits the car's profile well. The body is a low, wide two-door coupe shape with flush glass, a rounded nose, and a rear deck that flows into a body-color spoiler. The pop-up headlights are a signature design element of this generation — when retracted, the nose is smooth and uninterrupted, giving the car a cleaner profile than many contemporaries with fixed headlights. When raised, they present the four-lamp arrangement typical of Japanese GT cars of this era.

The side sills carry Twin Turbo badging, identifying the trim level at a glance. The rear bumper integrates quad exhaust tips — two per side — which exit from within the lower valance. These are original to the R/T Twin Turbo specification and are not present on lower Stealth trim levels. The 17-inch alloy wheels are the factory units for this trim. The rear spoiler is integrated into the decklid and adds some downforce without being an add-on piece.

The underside photos show no evidence of collision repair or significant structural damage. The body panels appear straight, and panel gaps are consistent throughout. For a car of this age and mileage, the exterior presents as an honest, unrestored original in good daily driver condition.

Conclusion

The 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo was the most technically sophisticated car Dodge sold in 1991, and it remains a legitimate performance machine by any reasonable standard. Twin turbos, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, a limited-slip differential, anti-lock brakes, and 300 horsepower in a package that weighed around 3,300 pounds — that combination was exceptional in 1991 and it still makes for a capable and engaging car to drive today. These are becoming increasingly hard to find in original, unmodified condition. The R/T Twin Turbo in particular, as the top-spec variant, was always the lower-volume choice compared to the base and naturally aspirated R/T models.

At 79,319 miles, this car has covered real road but hasn't been run hard and stored badly. The interior is honest, the mechanicals are correct, and the body is straight. For a collector or enthusiast who wants the full-spec 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo experience — with the manual transmission, the AWD, and every performance feature Dodge offered — this is a rare opportunity to own a correct, complete example.
