The Willrose was a mid to late 1980's 3-door hatch back. The major success of the Willrose led to many of the aspects of Harrbol's current designs and engines. The signature front grille with emblem embedded, the ample options of engines, and solid build quality has revolutionized Harrbol to this day.
With the most basic 1983-1989 Willrose came a simple, 1.7L I4 engine that produced about 68 HP and 98 FT-LB of torque. A nice little get in and go car. You could have opted for a 1.9L, 89 HP engine, or for the more energetic, a 151 HP 2.3L I4 engine with a 5 speed.
In early 1986, Harrbol asked a special tuning company to make a higher performance Willrose. After just 7 months, H.A. officially became a partner of Harrbol and later moved in-house. 1988 models named the Willrose 2.3P and Willrose PT rolled off the line, and the car secured a special place in history.
The Willrose 2.3P came with four-wheel drive, 2.3L I6 that made 210 HP, and came with the 5-speed transmission. Other notable changes were a very strange spoiler, added vents, and a rear vent that supposedly reduced drag. The iconic Willrose PT took streets everywhere by storm, and was later brought to the tracks. The PT came with the same engine as the 2.3P, but was fitted with a turbo that notched power up to 300 HP. It also came with a 6-speed transmission that propelled the car to 62 MPH in just 4.6 seconds, and topped at 174 MPH.
