1989 Plymouth Speedster Concept

Speedster. The name itself fills your senses with the kind of engineering excitement you’d expect from Plymouth. Using advanced computer designs, Plymouth created Speedster as a reflections of what the future may hold in automotive concepts.

Take a good look. Speedster represented a fantastic blend of high performance motorcycles with open sports cars. Front fenders and hoods are combined to form a motorcycle-type faring that wraps around the front of the car to the doors. Inside this faring are pop up upper and fixed lower light bars. The low wraparound windscreen consolidates the looks and functionality of a motorcycle air deflector and a cut down roadster windshield. Driving this car is like stepping into a high tech dream.

The motorcycle sports car inter-crossing is further exemplified by Speedsters interior. A molded plastic tub forms a fixed seating surface that is upholstered in a skin driver-type “wet suit” material with removable foam pads. Specifically designed to take on the elements, Speedster’s interior can be cleaned quickly and easily with a water hose. And then, you’re ready for the road again!

Driver and machine become one with steering and foot controls that can be adjusted forward and backward. All major controls and instruments are mounted on a movable steering control fork for a superior ergonomic environment. The interior is so pleasing and tuned to driver control that you could easily forget your destination and keep on cruising!
