12 Biggest-Displacement Four-Cylinder Engines Ever Produced

Here’s why pontiac never offered a big block v8, these are the most powerful ford v8 fitted in a production car.

The Plymouth Voyager III Concept was Chrysler’s bold but ill-conceived attempt to re-invent the MPV/minivan.

Depending on how you viewed it, the Voyager III Concept either looked like something Gerry Anderson might have dreamed up for his '60s TV sci-fi series Thunderbirds  or an unfortunate GEO Metro that had been brutally rear-ended by an MPV.

Either way, the vehicle was billed as the future of the minivan when it was unveiled at the 1990 North American Auto Show in Chicago.

The concept was the brainchild of designer Tom Gale, the man later credited for conceiving two of the most daring American supercars of the 1990s decade: the Dodge Viper and the Plymouth Prowler .

Despite appearances, the Plymouth Voyager III was meant to be a much more practical and sedate affair, a crossover for families intending to size down to one vehicle and thereby save on gas/petrol. Or to quote Chrysler’s blurb: a socially responsible vehicle-within-a-vehicle to tackle fuel consumption, traffic congestion, and global warming. Yes, they were talking about it even then.

Let's take a closer look at the Plymouth Voyager III.

The Plymouth Voyager III Concept Car low-down

The four-axle minivan featured an innovative, forward cab design uncoupled from the larger rear section and transformed into a two-door, three-seater car.

Before separating, the cab’s rear wheels were retracted into the body of the trailer, neatly hidden by glorified fender skirts or spats. When the two sections detached, the cab’s rear wheels were lowered electronically.

The front-wheel-drive car was powered by a 1.5 four-pot, which was more than sufficient for its needs. However, as the unit would have struggled to tow the rest of the ensemble, the rear section boasted its own powertrain. This was a 2.2 liter turbo that was connected electronically to the smaller engine. By working in unison through a four-speed auto, there was 250 bhp on tap.

There was even a rear-facing TV screen to help the driver line up both vehicles when docking.

The entire five-meter long vehicle could seat a total of eight people, including the driver, and with the advantage of a modular setup, it could include a flat-bed pick-up or boat trailer, although there is no evidence that these were ever built or tested, so it’s impossible to know how they would have looked.

The Plymouth Voyager III Offered A Solution To A Problem That Didn’t Exist

This, at least, was the idea on paper. When Bob Lutz, the then president of Chrysler, tried to explain the ethos behind the car, he was quoted as saying: "You see people going into downtown areas in full-size vans wasting fuel and clogging up space.

“It seemed to us like a neat idea to be able to leave two-thirds of your vehicle at home." He might have added that drivers would also have needed to leave two-thirds of their family behind. Oh well.

The problem was that the Voyager III concept was a solution to a problem that didn’t exist. A three-seat cab co-joined to a five-seat passenger compartment? Why didn’t we think of it before?

Chrysler proclaimed that the vehicle was “the best of both worlds” without truly clarifying what those worlds might be.

Nagging problem of cargo space

For one thing, while the company boasted that the car had “generous cargo space”, no photos were ever released showing luggage capacity, certainly not for a family of eight or more, an oversight which would no doubt have put off potential buyers and deterred drivers from undertaking long road trips.

And given that the more mundane MPVs/minivans available at the time already suffered from limited cargo space, it appears that Chrysler’s designers had missed a golden opportunity to address the problem.

From the promotional videos of the time, you’re also left with a nagging impression that the designers hadn’t thought of what would happen to the rear section when the forward cab drove off into the sunset, as the inside compartment was left exposed (it did not appear to have a sealing mechanism). This meant the rear section would have had to have been securely locked away in a garage once detached from the rest of the vehicle.

The ‘Mother-In-Law’ module Of The Plymouth Voyager III

It certainly didn’t help the car’s prospects when industry insiders unkindly dubbed the rear section as ‘the mother-in-law’ module. Offloading irksome relatives was surely not in the designer’s brief and not what Chrysler had intended when it claimed that its mini-van concept would “meet a variety of family needs”.

The project was swiftly killed off due to development costs, as the technology available at the time would have made it prohibitively expensive to build.

The fact that no other manufacturer has taken up the challenge of creating anything remotely like the Voyager III Concept since then - the Mini Vision Urbanaut being a case in point - also speaks volumes about the wisdom of embarking on such a project. Mothers-in-law everywhere can at least breathe a sigh of relief.
