Mitsubishi 3000GT Submodels
The Mitsubishi 3000GT was a technological showcase during the 1990s Japanese sports car boom. The top-tier VR-4 model came packed with a twin-turbo V6, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and active aerodynamics. It competed directly with icons like the Toyota Supra and Nissan 300ZX, offering a unique blend of high-tech features and grand touring comfort.
Collectors prize the 3000GT VR-4 for its complexity and performance, representing a peak moment for Mitsubishi. The active aero system, with its automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers, is a standout feature. Early 1991-1993 models with pop-up headlights have a classic '90s appeal, while the rare 1999 VR-4 is considered the ultimate version by many.
The market for the 3000GT has been steadily climbing, shedding its long-held reputation as an undervalued alternative. While project cars can still be found for a few thousand dollars, exceptional, low-mileage VR-4s have seen prices surge, with top sales exceeding $100,000. It's now a recognized and appreciating classic.
Buying Tips
- The active aerodynamics system on VR-4 models is a known failure point. Verify the front air dam and rear spoiler deploy correctly.
- Check for a leaking rear steering rack, which is part of the all-wheel steering system. Look for dash warning lights related to 4WS.
- The 60,000-mile service is critical for the 6G72 V6 engine. It includes the timing belt and water pump and is labor-intensive. Ask for proof it was completed.
- Original engine control units (ECUs) are prone to leaking capacitors, leading to erratic engine behavior. Check if the ECU has been rebuilt or replaced.
- The 5-speed and 6-speed manual transmissions are robust, but check for worn synchros, particularly on 2nd gear.
Prices range from around $2,000 for projects to $121,999 for low-mileage, collector-grade VR-4s.
