This exquisite 1992 VR4 was a special build project by the famous team that builds all the vehicles for the "Fast And The Furious" movies. The car started out as a secondary vehicle for a retired gentleman who spent his summers in Florida. This car was stored for half it's life in a Florida garage. Now it lives in Southern California where it's covered and garaged. It currently runs about once a week. There is not an ounce of rust or corrosion anywhere on the body, engine or frame. Has never seen a snow flake. If you'd like to view tons of photos of the conversion process, please visit this link: https://1992mitsubishi3000gtvr4.shutterfly.com/pictures Exterior: -This specific vehicle was fully disassembled and every panel painted separately off the vehicle. It is finished in BMW's "Brilliant White". This was a 9 stage paint job that shows as if it was a new car. Not a single ding or even as small as a rock chip. The car is flawless. -Being that 1992 3000GT's did not have a glass roof option, a secondary 1994 3000GT was purchased for the roof swap. The entire roof from the 1994 was graphed onto the 1992 vehicle for a flawless fit. To complete the 2nd generation body swap, the headlight buckets and radiator support was swapped along with the bumpers, side skirts and hood. -Every single bolt, nut and screw that was removed from the car was replaced with brand new stainless steel hardware. -Headlights are 4500K HID. Interior: -The seats were finished in full leather, front and back of seats. The front seating surface is wrapped in a natural brown hide and the backs of the seats are a deep black leather. Then tied together with a white contrasting double stitch. -Above is a custom suede headliner in a matching brown color with black suede up the two pillars. -Interior pieces finished in a rich piano black. -Has a matching orange lit rear view mirror with compass and homelink. -Navigation and Bluetooth is used by the Clarion nx604 head unit with working steering wheel controls and Sony rear view camera. -Shifter unit is the 3SX ball bearing short throw. Engine and Exhaust: -Under the hood are NO SPEED MODIFICATIONS. This car is bone stock and has been used as a cruiser, and in no way raced at any point in it's life. -The lifters were replaced to 1999 5mm VR4 lifters so that the famous 1st generation lifter tick is not present. -For exhaust there is a custom built Borla system with 1 high flow cat and a stainless steel downpipe. Passes the strict CA emissions. The welds are impeccable. -Oil used is fully synthetic Shell Oil. -Every scheduled maintenance item has been done as it should. All new rubber, belts and timing belt were replaced at a local Mitsubishi dealer. -In case there's anybody out there that is not familiar with these cars. They have a standard Twin Turbo 300HP engine, All Wheel Drive and 4 Wheel Steering. Wheels, Tires and Brakes -Wheels on all 4 corners are are 19X8.5 Avant Garde M590's in satin silver with a clear coated machined face wrapped in 245/35 Kumho Ecsta SPT. -Rotors are crossed drilled and slotted and pads are ceramic. Suspension: -The struts are brand new OEM Mitsubishi ECS (Electronically Controlled Struts). They work exactly as they should when new. You can switch from a smooth touring mode to sport mode and stiffen the vehicle up. -Springs are TEIN H Springs. This car is a one of a kind gem showing impeccable taste and extraordinary craftsmanship built by a team that is top's in their craft. Please, serious buyers only. The car is stored and not taking up any space. So we will not entertain tire kickers. Thank you for looking. Please feel free to contact me with any question. We will absolutely entertain any reasonable offers. |

Mitsubishi boss labels French minister a "retard" for "ruining the lives of motorists" [UPDATE]
Thu, 25 Oct 2012Arnaud Montebourg (pictured), French Minister of Industrial Recovery, was recently the target of a rather despicable slur at the hands of Mitsubishi France's leader, Jean-Claude Debard.
Frustrated by Montebourg's attempts to encourage the purchase of lower emitting vehicles and discourage use of high-emission vehicles - by way of tax breaks and tax hikes, respectively - Debard reportedly used the occasion of a new product launch to call the minister "stupid," a "mental case" and a "retard" before members of the media. Here's the full quote, as reported by the French newspaper La Provence by way of The Telegraph:
"This mental case, this retard, increases ecological taxes, reduces the speed motorists can go on Paris' ring road and ruins the life of motorists from all social origins all suffer as a result of him. He is stupid and understands nothing, you can quote me on that."
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gets modest styling, powertrain enhancements
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Mitsubishi sales continue to show progress in 2014. In fact, sales were up 54.17 percent in the US in May compared to last year. In hopes of keeping those numbers in the black, the Japanese automaker is introducing some mechanical upgrades to the Outlander Sport, its best-selling model, for the 2015 model year.
The biggest change for the 2015 Outlander Sport is its improved CVT that offers better fuel economy. Front-wheel-drive models with the upgraded CVT get an estimated improvement of 1 mile per gallon across the board to 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined; all-wheel drive models get an estimated 1 mpg better on the highway and in the combined rating, bringing the numbers up to 24/30/27 mpg. Mitsubishi claims the new transmission is the equivalent of fitting the Outlander Sport with a seven-speed automatic. The five-speed manual is still also available on the front-wheel drive ES trim, rated at 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. All models also get electric power steering, and the company reports that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is enhanced as well, but still makes the same 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque from last year.
The 2015 Outlander Sport also sees some very minor aesthetic improvements. The audio panel inside now has piano black and silver trim, and the SE trim comes with LED running lights. Also, the interior gets thicker glass in the side windows and more noise insulation for a quieter ride.
Mitsubishi developing new standalone hybrid Evo successor
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Mention the name Mitsubishi to different people and you'll likely get two startling different images. Environmentalists will focus on the company's strides in developing EVs, while performance enthusiasts will point you toward the Lancer Evolution. The prevailing wisdom was that Mitsubishi would cancel the latter to concentrate on the former, but the latest intel suggests that the two will be reconciled with a new Evo around the corner.
Although Mitsubishi is reportedly working to streamline its lineup from 23 models on 12 different platforms to 13 models on 7 by 2016, the next Evo will stand as an exception. Like Subaru did with the formerly Impreza-based WRX (or for that matter Nissan with the formerly Skyline-based GT-R), the new Evo won't have anything to do with the next Lancer, which itself will be based on a Renault-Nissan platform.
On that unique platform, Mitsubishi is likely to install a small direct-injection turbo engine (potentially a diesel) that could be based on the 1.1-liter, three-cylinder turbo engine in the XR-PHEV concept we saw in Tokyo, supplemented by small electric motors with lightweight batteries and driving all four wheels through an enhanced version of the company's Super All-Wheel Control system. As to whether the Evo name will carry over, that remains to be seen, but if these reports prove accurate, its spirit could very much live on.
