Notes:
A DRIVING EXPERIENCE – A high-output, turbocharged 2.3-liter engine with multiple-port fuel injection powers the 1983 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. The new road machine also has a five-speed manual overdrive transmission and special handling suspension – combining to consistently deliver zero to 60 mph times of about nine seconds. The car blends a clean aerodynamic design with high quality, luxury, high technology and all-round performance to challenge sophisticated European touring coupes at about half their price. The Turbo Coupe’s suggested retail price is $11,790. A best-in-class air drag coefficient of .35 helps give the car a projected fuel economy of 33 mpg on the highway and 21 in the city.
