Well, the second or third, but certainly among the first. I don't know how tight their bond was when they built it it for two years then stopped turbocharging for 40 years...
it is considered to be the first proper production car with fuel injected turbo. I suppose the Corvair Monza was probably the first....but very low production on that.
