Description

A significant chapter in the history of Japanese sports cars, the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 was introduced as the flagship model of Mitsubishi’s performance lineup with an advanced all-wheel drive system and a pioneering active aerodynamics system. Showcasing cutting-edge technology, the VR-4 was powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivering 300 horsepower to all four wheels. In addition to an active aerodynamics system which included a retractable front air dam and an electronically-controlled rear spoiler, four-wheel steering, and adjustable suspension further enhanced the 3000GT agility and handling capabilities. Hosting many advanced features still being utilized by modern sports cars, the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 represented the epitome of 1990s Japanese sports car innovation, blending performance and technology in a way that left a lasting impact on automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
