ABOUT THE Mitsubishi Gto Engine

Mitsubishi Gto Engine  Launched in 1990, the Mitsubishi 3000GT (Mitsubishi GTO in Japan) was designed to be the company’s flagship model. It replaced Mitsubishi’s ancient (but fantastic) Starion, and came loaded with more technology than you can shake a stick at. However, while the 3000GT isn’t quite as fondly remembered as the Toyota Supra or Mazda RX-7, it is still one of the greatest cars to come out of the land of the rising sun.

PRODUCT DISCRIPTION OF Mitsubishi Gto Engine

Base models were offered with front-wheel drive in North America, while Japanese base models featured the same four-wheel drive system found on more expensive models. Additionally, those in North America could opt for the Dodge Stealth, a re-badged 3000GT that featured exactly the same mechanicals.

Like the 3000GT, the Dodge Stealth was manufactured in Japan and shipped to North America. On base models of the Stealth, Dodge offered a SOHC engine that was not available on 3000GTs until 1997.

The 3000GT (and Stealth) enjoyed great success during the early 90s. In fact, the car sold more models than the Nissan 300ZX, the Mazda RX-7, and the Toyota Supra combined. However, by the late 1990s sales dropped off significantly due to increases in price and a lack of demand for sports cars like the 3000GT.

In North America, the Dodge Stealth was discontinued in 1996 while the 3000GT would carry on until 1999. Production for Japanese domestic market 3000GTs (GTO) finished in the year 2000, with the final two cars being sold the following year.

Japanese Mitsubishi GTOs came in a number of different models – SR, Twin Turbo (VR4), and the light weight MR (Mitsubishi Racing) edition. In the United States, Canada, and Europe buyers could opt for the base, SL or VR4 variants of the 3000GT. In 1995 and 1996 a special hardtop convertible version of the 3000GT was offered for the US market. This Spyder 3000GT was only available in SL and VR4 variants.
