Very rare in the UK, the GTO MR was essentially a lightweight GTO Twin Turbo that deleted 4WS, ABS, ECS and Active Aero. To be sold at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Mitsubishi’s GTO was a high-tech, high-performance front-engined sports coupé manufactured in Nagoya, Japan between 1990 and 1999
- Replacing the Starion, the GTO moniker was only used for the Japanese domestic market and the model was known in all other markets as the 3000 GT
- Powered by a twin-turbo, 3-litre V6 producing just shy of 300bhp. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds
- Full-time four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics, electronically controlled suspension
- The GTO MR was essentially a lightweight GTO Twin Turbo that deleted 4WS, ABS, ECS and Active Aero, but was mechanically identical to the normal GTO Twin Turbo aside from a final drive ratio of 4.154:1
- This example was originally delivered to the Japanese market and imported into the UK in 2018, where it has been with its current owner since 2019
- Supplied with its Mitsubishi owners manual, USB of mechanical and electrical workshop manuals, folder of work carried out during ownership and spare wheel
- On offer at No Reserve
