About the KALLISTA

The Panther Kallista is an automobile produced by Panther Westwinds from 1982 to 1990, and later by SsangYong until 1993. 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 the 1.6-litre CVH straight-four to the 2.9 L Cologne V6. Like its predecessor, it featured styling resembling earlier Allard and Morgan cars. The Kallista used an aluminium body over a purpose-built steel chassis and could accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in under 8 seconds. A Kallista appears in the 1987 film...
