1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 front three-quarter.
№ 16 / 19 · 1999 MY

The kitchen-sink Japanese GT — a car onto which Mitsubishi engineers in the late 1980s loaded every available technology in the company's parts bin.

The 1999 model year is the final-year U.S.-spec VR-4. Highest-spec, most-evolved, last-of-its-kind variant.

6G72 3.0L twin-turbo V6, 320 hp, six-speed Getrag manual, full-time AWD, four-wheel steering (Active 4WS — phase-shifting based on speed), active aero (front splitter and rear spoiler extending automatically above 50 mph), Electronic Controlled Suspension with adjustable damping. ~3,800 lb.

Risk note: Complex active-aero and ECS systems are expensive when they fail; cars with all systems functional command meaningful premium.
