Mitsubishi 3000 GT

At the beginning of the 90s, where clothing’s taste and Saturday’s evenings soundtrack were really bad, Japan is in the midst of its automotive booming and churns out, one after the other, true gems that make fall in love the whole world. The Mitsubishi 3000 GT is one of them. A true grand tourer look, long hood, very powerful engine, equipped with two turbochargers and all-wheel drive to better manage and leverage the power of its 300 horses in the real world. All this makes it a great alternative to sports coupe like the Ferrari 348. It also has 4 seats (although those behind are small and uncomfortable) and a luggage compartment useful for your holidays. In a nutshell, the 3000 GT, especially the first generation with the pop-up headlights, is a real must for any self-respecting car guy. The classic ’90s technology can be found in the cabin, full of electronic gadgets that are now old, but that take you and catapult you back in time, remembering how this “Mitsu” was able to keep up with far more noble brands. A still fresh look and outstanding performance, reachable to less experienced drivers. On the market, prices are really low and in return you could sit on a real sports gem.
