 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



On Feb-11-13 at 09:57:42 PST, seller added the following information:

 This great historic car has had 4 owners and NO ACCIDENTS per the Autocheck system. I placed this information so you did not have to pay the fee for the report. If you email me I will send the complete report to you. It has also been in Florida all of it's life, so it's rust free!!!!!

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has a trunk for your junk

Thu, Mar 24 2016

If you're in the market for an inexpensive new car and it absolutely must be a sedan, then the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is both of those things. The tiny four-door isn't beautiful, but the vehicle offers buyers optional high-tech amenities like smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The little guy debuts at the New York Auto Show and arrives at dealers this spring. The Mirage G4 shares much of its styling with the hatchback but grafts a trunk onto the rear. The stubby front and back make the sedan look charmingly bulbous. There's just something cute about its short, rounded shape. The G4 also uses the hatchback's powertrain. A 1.2-liter three-cylinder with 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque spins the front wheels. Customers can choose between a five-speed manual or a CVT, Mitsubishi spokesperson Alex Fedorak tells Autoblog. The update for 2017 Mirage five-door also just benefited from larger brakes and a retuned suspension. Look for live photos of the Mirage G4 from the New York Auto Show soon. We're curious to see how the pudgy sedan looks in the real world.

(MMNA) today unveiled the all-new 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. A sibling to the well-established and popular Mirage hatchback, the all-new Mirage G4 brings consumers a fresh dose of clean style, environmental consciousness, agility, connectivity, affordability and value. The Mirage G4 goes on sale this spring at Mitsubishi showrooms across the country. "A few years ago we entered the subcompact segment with the Mirage hatchback and its popularity with consumers has grown every year with its combination of top fuel economy, attractive pricing and one of the industry's best new car warranties. The new Mirage G4 repeats that value equation in a four-door sedan package," said MMNA executive vice president, Don Swearingen.

Mitsubishi recalling 166k cars, crossovers over stall risk

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Mitsubishi is recalling 165,923 vehicles in the US because it's possible for the drive belt to detach from their engines, potentially causing a stall. Specifically, the campaign covers 2008-2011 model-year examples of the Lancer, Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Outlander as well as the 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and 2011 Outlander Sport. All of the affected models use some version of the brand's 4B1 four-cylinder engine.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the engine pulley can wear causing the drive belt to slip off. If this happens, the alternator, cooling fan and hydraulic power steering can all stop working, and obviously, any of those things could make driving unsafe. However, if the belt detaches, then a warning light should come on in the cabin.
To fix the problem, Mitsubishi dealers will replace the original belt with a redesigned rubber part and will inspect the pulley. If worn, it'll also be replaced free of charge.
