In the early 1990s, Japan's biggest manufacturers were locked in a quiet arms race to prove who could build the most advanced grand tourer, and Mitsubishi's answer arrived loaded for the fight. The GTO, sold in left-hand-drive form to Americans as the 3000GT, packed nearly every piece of chassis technology the company had on the shelf. This 1991 example currently listed on Hagerty Marketplace is the version most U.S. buyers never get to own: a genuine right-hand-drive, Japanese-market GTO wearing its original Nagasaki plates.The hardware underneath is what made the car a standout. Sitting on the Z16 platform, the GTO used a 3.0-liter DOHC V6 with 24 valves, rated at 222 horsepower in naturally aspirated form when new. Power runs through a five-speed manual to a full-time all-wheel-drive system, and the car backs that up with four-wheel steering, a strut and multilink suspension with anti-roll bars, and large disc brakes with ABS. For a coupe of its era, the GTO was unusually willing to change direction.The wedge profile and pop-up headlights mark the GTO as a product of the early-1990s JDM era.This particular GTO is finished in Monza Red (factory code R38) over a gray cloth interior, and it is presented by Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa on dealer consignment with a clean Florida title. The data plate decodes as a GTO SR with the five-speed manual, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel steering, riding on 16-inch wheels now wrapped in Yokohama tires. The cabin features the sport instrument cluster with analog gauges, and air conditioning is fitted. The indicated odometer reads roughly 157,300 kilometers.A rear spoiler, quad exhaust tips, and the original Japanese plate round out the package.As expected for a driver-grade car of this age, the seller notes some honest wear: the paint, black exterior trim, and weatherstripping show their years, and the driver's seat bolster is worn. A steering wheel cover is the only listed modification. With four-wheel steering, all-wheel drive, and that pop-up-headlight wedge shape, this right-hand-drive GTO is a rare chance to own a piece of 1990s Japanese engineering ambition. The auction is live now on Hagerty Marketplace for anyone ready to bring a slice of JDM history stateside.Full-time all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering gave the GTO surprising agility for a 1990s coupe.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
