The Mitsubishi Galant GSX
One of the most coveted and rare Mitsubishi tuner cars of all time is the Mitsubishi Galant GSX. This version of the Mitsubishi Galant was produced for one year only and is one of the rarest Mitsubishi’s of this type because it does not have a turbo charger.
The GSX was a four-door car with a 2.0 four-cylinder engine and a five speed transmission. It had all-wheel drive and was known for its 4G 63 engine. It still considered one of the rarest Mitsubishi cars and is highly coveted by both Mitsubishi fans as well as tuners. This rare Mitsubishi certainly doesn’t come up that often and is definitely one of the most coveted in the Galant line that has an extensive history.
The Galant was produced since the year 1969 and is still one of the most popular cars available from Mitsubishi. Although it went out of production in 2012 the modern Galant change significantly from the first edition with beautiful styling and a relatively powerful four-cylinder engine. Of course this power really didn’t start to come about until the early 1990s and it was the GSX that was known as one of the absolute rocket ships of its time. This generation of Galant’s made waves all around the world. Some of the GSX Galant’s even when not to participate in the world rally championships and the engine style would later make its way into the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
The Galant GSX was one of the first Mitsubishi’s to employ an engine that would go on to win world rally championships between 1990 and 1993 and then a second Street between 96 and 1999 with the Lancer using the same engines.
Because of its all-wheel-drive capability and extremely nimble handling a stock GSX is probably the closest thing you could get to a stock class manufacturer rally car in the 1990s. Although it has a discrete sporty look this is definitely a rocket ship that will match up well against any number of tuner cards. Although it’s a rare Mitsubishi, if you can find one and put time and attention into it it’s an excellent car for all types of motorsports or for someone that just wants a sporty Mitsubishi for their commute. If you want a piece of Mitsubishi’s history, and some of the engineering touches that would eventually spawn the mighty Lancer EVO, this is an excellent car to try and find
