The AMC Spirit is hardly a well-known name in Europe, although the coupé won the first American class victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 1979. The basic version was also equipped with an Audi engine, similar to that used in the Porsche 924. And as an AMX version, the Spirit was actually almost the last "muscle car" of the old generation. This vehicle report tells the story of the AMC Spirit and its links with Europe.
