In the late '80s and early '90s, USA automakers rushed to build limited edition two-seaters as halo vehicles. Cadillac had the Allante, Buick offered the Reatta, and Chrysler teamed with Maserati to build the TC. This 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati is one of the first year models, and as a result combines the best of both worlds, with Italian design and the rugged Chrysler 2.2 liter turbo engine.

The 200 hp (149 kW; 203 PS) 16-valve 2.2 L "Maserati" engine's cylinder head was cast in England by Cosworth and finished in Italy by Maserati. The pistons came from Mahle GmbH in Germany. The camshafts were designed by Florida-based Crane Cams and were manufactured by Maserati in Modena. The "Maserati" engine used a specially-made 2.2 block, upgraded crankshaft and rods. A Japanese turbocharger was sourced from IHI. The rest of the engine used common Turbo II parts made in the United States.

The TC's platform was based on a shortened Dodge Daytona chassis with suspension and axles from the original model (except for the 5 speed Getrag with "Maserati" engine). The bodywork was produced by De Tomaso subsidiary Innocenti. The struts and shock absorbers were specially designed for the car by Fichtel and Sachs, and a Teves anti-lock braking system was standard. The special wheels were made in Italy by the Formula One supplier Fondmetal.

Bob Lutz, Chrysler executive, said the TC cost Chrysler close to $600M. That is, the cost to produce each of the 7300 TC was about $80K in 1990 dollars.
