Chronology
PredecessorPanther Lima

The Panther Kallista is an automobile produced by Panther Westwinds from 1982 to 1990. It replaced the Lima as Panther's volume model for the 1980s.

Unlike the Vauxhall-based Lima, the Kallista used Ford mechanicals, including a range of engines from 1.6 L straight-4 to 2.9 L Cologne V6. Like its predecessor, it featured styling resembling earlier Allard and Morgan cars.

The later SsangYong-built models of the 1990s used a 2.0 L engine.

The Kallista used an aluminium body over a purpose-built steel chassis. Performance was good, with a sprint to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) taking under 8 seconds.

A Kallista appears in the 1987 film Timestalkers.

SsangYong

[edit]

SsangYong Motor Company released a badge engineered version in 1992 called the SsangYong Kallista. Only 77 of the SsangYong models were built.[2]
