The AMC Pacer, an innovative all-new model introduced in March 1975 and billed as " the first wide small car ", was a subcompact designed to provide the comfort of a full-sized car.

Its pre-production development coincided with two changes in U. S. Federal passenger auto laws: first, the reduction in permissible emissions for passenger auto engines, which the Pacer would have met with the Wankel-type engine it was designed for, as the Wankel's compact dimensions allowed space for extensive emission control equipment in the engine bay ; second, a tightening of U. S. passenger auto safety laws, which accounted for the Pacer's designed-in safety features, e. g. internal door beams.

Therefore AMC's existing and AMC Straight-6 engines were used in the Pacer instead.

Also, as the Pacer shared few components other than drivetrain with other AMC cars, it was expensive to make and the cost increased when sales fell steeply after the first two years.

Development and production costs for the Pacer and Matador Coupe drained capital which might otherwise have been invested in updating the more popular Hornet and Gremlin lines, so that towards the end of the 1970s the company faced the growing energy crisis with aged products that were uncompetitive in hotly contested markets.
