The first front-wheel drive W-body Grand Prix coupes were built in October 1987, and released on January 12, 1988 for the 1988 model year.
This generation Grand Prix was built in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Grand Prix was introduced as base, LE and SE coupes.
All featured GM's MPFI 2.8 L V6 that made 130 hp (97 kW) and 170 lb⋅ft (230 N⋅m) of torque.
A five-speed manual or four-speed automatic were the transmissions offered.
The LE was well equipped with power windows and door locks and digital dashboard with analogue tachometer.
SE models upgraded with power front seats with multiple lumbar, side bolster, side wing adjustments, an AM/FM Cassette stereo, and a trip computer and compass located in the center of the dash.
Some models of this generation have the rare feature of a split front bench seat with a column shifter.
Another unique feature only found on the Grand Prix is the combination lock for the glove box, rather than a key.
Grand Prix was Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1988.
