The Dodge Omni GLH and GLHS gave Chrysler its first hot front-wheel drive hatchback, but what do the letters GLH and GLHS stand for?
From 1984, Dodge began offering the Shelby-tuned Omni GLH with high output 2.2-liter I4 engine with 110hp (82kW). Turbocharged GLH-T models arrived in 1985.
The Shelby modified MY1986 Dodge Omni GLHS had a more powerful 2.2-liter turbo with 175hp (130kW) and 175 lb-ft (237Nm), for a 0-60mph time of 6.5 seconds.
