Mitsubishi FTO GPX (DE3A)

The FTO GPX showcased Mitsubishi's compact V6 technology with the 6A12 MIVEC engine producing 200hp in a stylish front-wheel-drive coupe. Variable valve timing provided strong mid-range torque and exciting top-end rush to the 8000rpm redline. Four-wheel steering, sport suspension, and aggressive styling created an engaging driving experience despite FWD layout limitations. Winner of Japan's Car of the Year award, the FTO offered distinctive V6 character in an affordable package that stood apart from typical four-cylinder rivals.
