1981 Tetrad
in 1981, Galt comes up with a new car, but it’s more like a concept that was just put into production. it’s a 2nd generation Tetrad, reviving the nameplate from the MKII Communitasia based model in '75. However, it uses body panels made out of Aluminum, but is still body on frame, with the frame itself just being modified from the MKII Communitasia’s frame. Back to the body though, it is a completely unique design for the Tetrad, with some special engineering needed for the Aluminum body panels. As for The drivetrain, it varies based on trim. The base R model is a new 3.7L carbuerated SOHC V6 making a little over 140 horsepower, and is RWD only. The PR though, is a much better beast. It comes with a 5.0L Galt small block V8 with a 4 barrel carb making a little under 190 horsepower. The driveline in this model is quite exotic, being a full and true AWD system, splitting the power equally between the front and rear wheels. This car is also the first in Galts Lineup to feature GMDP (more info below). While sales figures overall were relatively poor, the PR ended up actually being purchased more versus the base model.
