Up for sale is an ultra rare Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo AWD. While Mitsubishi’s supercar 3000GT VR4 is rare in itself, this 3000GT VR4 is not only a “first year” 1991 model with the classic “pop-up” head lamps but it is also Glacier White whereas the vast majority of 3000GTs are red or black. Add to that the fact that the car is very stock and unmolested and you can see just how rare of a car you’re looking at. If you don’t know about the 3000GT VR4 then suffice it to say that it was Mitsubishi’s supercar in competition with the Nissan Skyline/300ZX twin turbo, Toyota Supra Twin Turbo, Acura NSX, and Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo. Of the group the 3000 GT VR-4 was tied with the Supra Twin Turbo for the most power but the VR4’s All-Wheel-Drive and amazing torque allowed good testers to get sub 5-second 0-60 times. While considerably heavy, the car’s huge anti-lock brakes and 4WS (4-Wheel-Steering) make it one of the best handling cars to ever come out of Japan. It also helps that has the ultra-wide stance of a Ferrari. The take off of the car is still as rocket-like as its looks. Unlike most VR4s that have ended up modified and ragged, my VR4 is largely unmolested and in reasonably good shape. It even has the factory stereo with equalizers and power antenna. It was driven less than 7,000 miles a year meaning it has very low miles for a car of its age. You can keep it stock as I have to be an example of a great classic car or with a few tweaks it could be a 450-500HP monster. This car is not perfect, it has a small wear spot on the outside bolster of the passenger side front seat, it has been painted to factory color code, it has the usual oil residue under the car as you would expect for 140K. If you’re serious about owning this largely unmolested Japanese supercar legend give me a call at 904-718-3829

2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Quick Corners And Long Goodbyes
Editor's Note: While driving the Mitsubishi Evolution in the slush and snow of a Michigan winter is a fine enterprise, photographing it in such conditions is usually not fruitful. That's why you'll notice a slight disparity between our wintry text and sunny, California-based photographs of the subject car. Rest assured, both the review vehicle and the photo car are of the same basic Evo GSR flavor.
It was a dreary, gray, barely sufferable winter morning in Ann Arbor, MI. Temperatures hovering just over 30 degrees allowed for snow or rain or some combination thereof at a moment's notice, and the thickly clouded sky hinted at dark secrets while promising nothing. I've never been a rally driver but I couldn't help but feel that this murky, imprecise day was good winter rally weather. I'll admit: I don't usually wake up and look out the window to judge which kind of racing would be best just then, but the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR delivered to my house the day before was coloring the mood of the hour; most of my thoughts ran to where I was going to drive it, when, and how fast.
Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Take a listen folks - you're hearing the eventual future of motorsports. This is Greg Tracy and the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III as they assault the treacherous course at Pikes Peak in just 9:08.188.
This run is significant for a number of reasons. As we recapped in our Pikes Peak finale post, Tracy's run was a mere two seconds off the best overall time at this year's event, snagging him and Mitsubishi second place overall, as well as first in the Electric Modified class and the fourth fastest time ever recorded. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tracy thoroughly trounced the previous EV record at Pikes Peak, beating the legendary Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima's 2013 best of 9:46.530.
It's an impressive feat, and now you can experience the whole run from as near a first-person viewpoint as you're going to get. Scroll down and have a look.
Mitsubishi wants to bring a plug-in hybrid Montero to the US
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As Mitsubishi's turnaround takes hold, we can talk less about the company's survival in the US market and more about what kinds of products we might see in the future: there's a hybrid Evo on the way and its joint venture with Renault-Nissan will deliver a C-segment sedan. Furthermore, it might even deliver a dividend to its shareholders next year.
In addition to Mitsubishi announcing its intent to focus on SUVs, pickup trucks and crossovers, company president Osamu Masuko gave an interview to Automotive News saying that the plan is for model lines to have two or three power train options: gas, plug-in hybrid, diesel. Believing that fuel economy standards will force the expansion of the plug-in hybrid market, Masuko wants to bring a PHEV Pajero to the US (the Montero in our market) because it will restore the brand's place in the full-size SUV segment with a well known nameplate, and help the company reach its goal of making PHEVs 20 percent of its product offering.
We love the idea of a new Montero - and we hope there's a traditional gas model that would come with the PHEV - the question is what would it look like? The Concept GC-PHEV we saw at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show could offer clues, but with Masuko listing the SUV as the company's second most popular model behind pickups, how daring could designers get with it? On the other hand, if you compare the Concept PX-MiEV shown at Tokyo in 2011, the similarity to the production Outlander is more than one might expect for a crossover that's become a major seller for the brand. With an introduction due in 2015 or 2016, we shouldn't have to wait long to find out. Regrettably, there's still no word on the return of a Mitsubishi pickup truck.
