Story

1990 Dodge Daytona ES Turbo

The ES Turbo used a 2.5-liter turbocharged four, distinct from the Shelby's 2.2-liter VNT engine and the ordinary ES's non-turbo choices.

Source boundaries

The factory engine/transaxle table explicitly assigns both transmission choices to ES Turbo. Its overall top-gear ratios must not be presented as axle ratios. Factory engine code, final-drive ratio and production totals remain unresolved.

Photo pending

Reusable exact-year exterior photography is still needed. Brochure access does not grant image reuse rights.
