So many unique and awesome cars from various different manufacturers were being produced in the 1990’s, and here is a perfect example of one of them. This is the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, which clearly has been modified, giving it more of a race car look rather than just your average road car. The 3000GT VR-4 is a remarkable front-engine all-wheel drive sports car that falls under the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT family, which is a series of sports cars produced by Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer, Mitsubishi Motors. The Mitsubishi 3000GT was marketed as the GTO for the Japanese domestic market, and globally as the 3000GT. For the North American market, the 3000GT was sold both as the Dodge Stealth (1991–1996), and the Mitsubishi 3000GT (1991–1999). The stealth was and is another very unique car, as it was a collaboration between both Chrysler and Mitsubishi at the time, which resulted in a very unprecedented design for a Dodge-badged car at the time. It’s important to note that the 3000GT VR-4 is not only just a beautiful and satisfyingly quick sports car for the time period, but it’s also quite rare. Reportedly, only around 3693 examples of the VR-4 were produced for the 1991 model year (like this car shown), and only 15,539 units total for the world from 1991 until 1999. The 3000GT VR-4 is powered by a Twin-Turbocharged & Intercooled 3.0L V6 engine that produces 300 horsepower which is sent through a 5-Speed Manual Transaxle. The design for the 3000GT VR-4 was inspired by the Mitsubishi HSX concept, which was unveiled at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show. The 3000GT VR-4 is capable of a top speed of around 165mph, and a 0-60mph time of just about 5.7 seconds, however, this specific example might be slightly quicker thanks to it’s extensive upgrades! What do you think of the 3000GT VR-4?
