Dodge M4S vs Trans Am From The Wraith Movie

By Dave Ashton

The Wraith was a revenge type of movie featuring some cool vehicles of the time released in late 1986, starring Charlie Sheen. The basic premise is a teenager who comes back from the dead in a futuristic street racer to take revenge on the gang that murdered him. It’s a great bit of not too serious entertainment from the mid-80s and also features a few muscle cars popping up here and there. Not to mention a few cool rock tunes of the time from the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Robert Palmer, Bonnie Tyler and Billy Idol. If you don’t take the film too seriously it’s a great bit of viewing.

The video clip below shows a supercharged Trans Am taking on the Wraith aka a Dodge M4S. You basically guess ahead of time whats going to happens to the gang member, but it’s great to see the race anyway, especially for that 80’s rock soundtrack. Its also great to see a showing from not just one muscle car, but also the futuristic vehicle be made by Dodge.

The Dodge M4S was a high performance prototype built by Dodge in 1981. Although it only had a 2.2L 4 cylinder, twin-turbo induction engine it still produced 440 horsepower and 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds. The twin-turbo induction setup was said to have influenced the likes of Toyota and Porsche in future years.

Pretty cool to see a bona fides muscle car maker being futuristic thinking.
