The Dodge Omni was one of the first American-made, front-wheel-drive cars. It was introduced in 1978 at a time when American automakers favored larger, rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Much of the Dodge Omnis popularity was due to its high gas mileage. It offered manual and automatic transmission options and horsepower between 86 and 93, depending on the year.

It was the deluxe Omni that began production in 1984. GLH stood for "goes like hell." The higher horsepower and low vehicle weight combined to make it one of the fastest small cars of its time. A turbo version was introduced in 1985, which provided speedy drivers with 175 horsepower applied to a very low 2,200-pound vehicle weight.
