The LeBaron GTS was based on the extended platform of the Chrysler K-Cars and was the sister model of the Dodge Lancer , from which it differed only in details. A basic model and the LeBaron GTS LS with upscale equipment were offered (electronic dashboard , split rear seat bench, etc.). Chrysler's 2.2-liter in-line four-cylinder with or without turbocharger (100 or 148 hp) in combination with a five-speed sports transmission or three-speed automatic transmission provided the propulsion.
