The 1978 Regal could be equipped with a 3.8 L Turbocharged V-6 engine with automatic transmission. A major facelift in 1981 gave the Regal a much more aerodynamic profile, helping to make it possible for the car to compete on the NASCAR racing circuit. These models were simply rebadged as Regals and for the first time the name appeared on a full model lineup. The wagon was discontinued after 1983 and the sedan dropped from the lineup the next year. From 1986 to 1987, the 5.0 L 307 V8 was available as an option. The 3.8 2-bbl V6 was standard. The 200-4R overdrive transmission was an option with either engine.
