 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!!!!!

Mitsubishi readies trio of hybrid utility concepts for Tokyo

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi has announced a trio of concept cars it will bring to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to kick off later this month. The three concepts all sport new, edgy styling that is quite a departure from the Mitsus we see here in the states.
First up, we have the Concept GC-PHEV, which we're guessing is the middle vehicle in the photograph up top, as it's supposed to be a larger SUV - think Outlander for this one. From a powertrain standpoint, it sounds quite impressive. A 3.0-liter, supercharged, MIVEC V6 syncs up with an electric motor and a plug-in battery pack, while an an eight-speed automatic transmission dispatches power to all four wheels.
Next, we have the Concept XR-PHEV. We're taking a step down from the GC here, as the XR is meant to compete in the compact-crossover market, which means this could pre-sage the next Outlander Sport. Like the GC, though, it takes advantage of a hybrid powertrain, with a turbocharged, 1.1-liter direct-injection engine providing the grunt. The front-driver also sports a lightweight motor and battery, although specific details about both are scarce. We're thinking the XR-PHEV is the smaller, red vehicle on the right of the image up top.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution recalled over clutch woes

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

Mitsubishi will be recalling over 10,000 Lancer Evolutions built between December 12, 2007 and March 5, 2013, covering model years 2008 to 2013. The recall only affects cars with manual transmissions, though, so if you opted for a Lancer Evo with a quick-shifting SST, this recall doesn't apply to you.
If you're one of the 10,474 people that has a Lancer Evo X GSR, which is the only way into a manual-trans Evo X, you need to plan a trip to your local dealer. The recall relates to a failure in the clutch master cylinder, making shifting in and out of gear difficult. Consequently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that this could increase the odds of crashing.
Mitsu will notify owners of the affected cars, and these Evo models will be repaired, free of charge, at dealerships. The recall is slated to begin around November 11. Scroll down for the full bulletin from the NHTSA.

Chrysler recalling 67k trucks with manual transmissions

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Earlier this month, Chrysler announced the recall of some 280,000 pickup trucks over concerns that their axles could seize up. Now the automaker has announced an entirely separate recall of another 66,819 trucks over the springs that could break in the clutch ignition interlock switch. The recall affects Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups, as well as the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider. The issue is relevant only to those trucks fitted with manual transmissions, from the 2006 and 2007 model years and manufactured between July 1, 2005, and July 31, 2006. Since a broken spring could, according to statements issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and FCA US LLC (previously known as the Chrysler Group) prevent the vehicle from starting, or cause it to move unintentionally once the ignition kicks over, the automaker will begin notifying owners of the affected vehicles just before Valentine's Day to bring their trucks into their local dealers to have the clutch ignition interlock switch replaced. FCA emphasizes, however, that the unintended movement would only occur "in rare cases" and only "if recommended starting procedures are not followed." Only one such case is known to have occurred, but it did regrettably result in a fatality. Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch December 29, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary global recall of an estimated 66,819 older-model pickup trucks equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. An investigation by FCA US engineers discovered switches in certain model-year 2006 and 2007 pickups may be equipped with spring wire that differs from wire used in previous switches. The alternate wire may break and, as a result, the vehicles may not start. In rare cases, a vehicle may – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. The Company is aware of one fatality related to this campaign. It stemmed from the single known accident involving this population of vehicles. The recall covers certain Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Mitsubishi Raider pickups. Switches with the alternate wire were not used in any vehicles produced before July of 2005, or after June of 2006. The Dakota and Raider are no longer in production.
