In this review, Doug DeMuro delves into the iconic 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR4, a true gem from the golden era of rally-bred performance cars. This sedan, a precursor to the revered Lancer Evolution, packs a punch with its turbocharged four-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and all-wheel drive system. Not to mention the innovative four-wheel steering feature that sets it apart from its competitors. With only 3,000 units ever sold in the US, finding an unmodified Galant VR4 is akin to discovering a rare treasure in the automotive world.
Doug highlights the unique quirks of the Galant VR4, such as the color-changing gauge cluster, turbo boost gauge, and hidden cup holders cleverly tucked away under the center console. The interior boasts 90s relics like electronic seat belts and auto-down windows, adding a nostalgic charm to the driving experience. On the exterior, the body-colored wheels, body kit, fog lights, and trunk spoiler enhance the car's sporty appeal, embodying the essence of a true rally-inspired sedan.
Despite its historical significance and original condition, many Galant VR4s have fallen victim to heavy modifications and reliability issues over the years. Doug emphasizes the rarity and desirability of this unmodified specimen, making it a true collector's item for enthusiasts of classic performance cars. The Galant VR4's legacy as a road-going rally car shines through in Doug's review, painting a vivid picture of a bygone era when Mitsubishi ruled the rally stages and the streets alike with their high-performance sedans.
