NEW ZEALAND’ SERVING TWO LI

EARLY 1970s

The first 16L Galants arrived in New Zealand in the early 1970s and by this time Japanese vehicle styling had come of age. This model's high performance, engineering quality and advanced technology made a huge impact on a market accustomed to a stodgy diet of Australian and UK sourced vehicles.

1973 – GTO During 1973 the Galant GTOs began arriving. Enormously stylish and aerodynamically efficient with no central pillar and sloped front and rear windscreens, they are now sought after by collectors.

JAPAN GRAND PRIX 1968-71 In Japan the GTO was fitted with a 2000 cc DOHC twin carb unit that produced 92 kW. Developed from engines that took Mitsubishi Galant formula cars to three Japan Grand Prix wins from 1968-71, at the time it was the world's most powerful production engine in its class.

ASTRON 80 ENGINE Later, the Galant GTO was equipped with the new Astron 80 engine featuring Silent Shaft technology. This allowed four cylinder engines to compete with eight cylinder engines in terms of smoothness and operation. It is now used under licence from Mitsubishi by several other major motor vehicle manufacturers.

GALANT

AND’S LONGEST WO LITRE RANGE

GALANT ‘SIGMA’ The Galant ‘Sigma’ arrived in the late 1970s. In 1981 it was voted Car of the Year in New Zealand. The 1984 Galant ‘Sigma’ switched to front wheel drive and the SEi model featured Electronic Controlled Transmission and EPS (Electronic Controlled Power Steering).

GALANT HIGH SPEED RESEARCH

In the late 1980s, design projects like the 320 kph Galant High Speed Research prototype provided inspiration for the unique 1990s Galant styling.

HSR

The HSR was a four wheel drive, four wheel steer computer navigated Galant that stole the show at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1987.

FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR

The new Galant proved a formidable competitor in rallies around the world, winning the Asia Pacific Championship in 1988, the 1000 Lakes and RAC Rallies in 1989, and the Swedish and Ivory Coast Rallies in 1991.

1998 DISTINCTION

In 1998 the new Galant was released with the distinctive angled front corners, arched bonnet and high deck boot.

2003

New Galant has been carefully honed from front to rear. Mitsubishi’s designer’s set out to create a new benchmark in medium sized cars. The result is pure form and function.
