Some years ago, Car and Driver summed up the BiTurbo perfectly in just two words: "Serious frivolity".

In the mid-'80s (while Chrysler briefly owned Maserati), quite a few Biturbo owners were coming into Dodge dealerships — to have the motor yanked and replaced... with a Chrysler 318 V8. You know, so the damn car would start and run. Lost track of how many of those I saw in for transplant service, while my dad was…

A couple years earlier?
