In 1934, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was merged with the Mitsubishi Aircraft Co., a company established in 1920s for the manufacture aircraft engines. The unified company was known as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and was the largest private company in Japan. MHI concentrated mainly on manufacturing aircraft, ships, railroad cars and machinery, but in 1937 developed the PX33, a prototype sedan for military use. It was the first Japanese-built passenger car with full-time four-wheel drive, a technology the company would return to almost fifty years later in its quest for motor sport and sales success.

A power tour with all-wheel grip! The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is a neck-snapping, head-turning, pavement-grabbing, road-shredding, turbo-spinning, six-gear shifting machine with all the right moves, and all the right curves. The VR-4 is the top of the 3000GT line, which includes a 161-horsepower base model and a 218-horsepower SL model. The SL, stands for "sport luxury," is well equipped and the only option is a 10-disc CD changer. They also come with a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.

The 3000GT VR-4, however, is a four-wheel drive and it needs all the traction it can get. A twin-turbocharged, twin-inter-cooled V6 with dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder blares out 320 horsepower at 6000 rpm. The most impressive part is that it produces 315 foot-pounds of torque at just 2500 rpm.

Crack the throttle and Mitsubishi's 3000GT VR-4 lunges ahead in a way very few other cars will be able to match. By mounting twin turbo on the V6, boost and acceleration are immediate above 2500 rpm and the thrust continues right up to the rev limit.

Once it starts rolling, the VR-4 accelerates quickly through the gears and the driver must shift quickly to keep up. There is some resistance going into each gear and the shift pattern is narrow, so it takes a little experience to avoid missing gears on fast starts.

TIPS FOR BUYING USED MITSUBISHI CARS

There are lots of places available to buy a used car like http://www.usedcarx.com; the more effort you put in, the more would be your savings:

Buying privately is generally the cheapest, but beware of the over-optimistic pricing and there is no warranty available for such vehicles.

Franchised dealers usually have newer cars in stock, which will often be better cared for and have a lot lower mileages. The downside is that they also charge the most in general.
