1997 Mitsubishi - Pajero

Product Details

1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, finished in silver with a black interior. Reportedly imported in 2022, it's equipped with a metric instrument cluster and its odometer displays about 169,800 kilometers, which represents approximately 105,500 miles. Factory equipment includes a locking center differential, skid plates, an Evolution-specific body kit, a trailer hitch, Recaro front sport seats, an information display on the dashboard, and air conditioning. Modifications reported by the seller include 17-inch Enkei Cyclone wheels, a Kenwood CD player, and a Japanese toll card reader. Mitsubishi released the Pajero Evolution in 1997 to homologate the SUV in the Dakar Rally. Starting with the short-wheelbase model, the company added a full body kit characterized by wheel arch flares, an all-around independent suspension system, a quicker steering system, and a more powerful engine, among other rally-inspired changes. Its efforts paid off: the Pajero took first, second, third, and fourth in the 1998 Dakar. Most historians agree that approximately 2,500 street-legal Evolution models were built. Power comes from a 3. 5-liter V6, rated at about 276 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque. Called "6G74" internally, it spins the rear or the four wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
