==1970-1975==
The original '''[[Mitsubishi Motors Corporation|Mitsubishi]] GTO''' was launched in [[1970]] as the two-door [[hardtop]] variant of the new [[Mitsubishi Galant|Galant]] sedan, and was known as the Colt Galant GTO. Designed by Hiroaki Kamisago, who had previously been sent by Mitsubishi to study at the [[Art Center College]] in [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]], it incorporated many stylistic cues from contemporary [[United States|American]] [[muscle cars]] like the [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]], [[Pontiac Firebird|Firebird]] and [[Mercury Cougar|Cougar]], including a long [[Hood (vehicle)|hood]], raised cut-off ducktail rear, and rounded quad-headlamps and tail-lamps. It was also the first Japanese passenger car to have full side windows and a [[Hardtop#Pillarless_hardtops|pillarless]] design.

There were three variants available at first, all powered by the [[Mitsubishi Saturn engine#4G32|Saturn]] engine: the M1 (1600 cc SOHC, 4-spd), M2 (1600 cc SOHC, 5-spd) and the top-spec MR (1600 cc twin-carb, DOHC 5-spd), a 125 hp (92kW) version only available in Japan.

In 1972 Mitsubishi upgraded the powerplants with their new [[Mitsubishi Astron engine|Astron]] units. The range now consisted of the LS (2000 cc single-carb, automatic transmission), GS (2000 cc single-carb, 5-speed manual) and GS-R (2000 cc twin-carb, 5-speed manual). They were also given a mild facelift to distinguish them, comprising a one-piece slats-type grille and three-piece tail lights. Additionally, the 125 hp GS-R had wider 185-section tires, flared guards and a black-painted rear panel between the lights.

In 1974 there was a second styling tweak where the car gained a honeycomb-style front grille. Also, some of the very last cars gained the Astron 80 engine with balancer shafts, before the entire range was discontinued the following year in favour of the [[Mitsubishi Lancer|Celeste]], a smaller coupe based on the [[Mitsubishi Lancer|Lancer]] sedan.

==1991-1999==
[[Image:Mitsubishi gto 914 6.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Mitsubishi GTO manufactured for japanese market]]
In 1991, Mitsubishi developed a sport coupe to compete with the [[Toyota Supra]], [[Mazda RX-7]], [[Nissan 300ZX]], [[Chevrolet Corvette]], and low-end [[Porsche]]s. They resurrected the GTO name, and the car went on to serve as Mitsubishi’s flagship for the remainder of the decade. However, despite the cachet of the badge in its home market, it was known as the '''Mitsubishi 3000GT''' in [[Europe]], Australia and the [[United States]], to avoid confusion with the [[Ferrari 250 GTO]] or the [[Pontiac GTO]].

With some cosmetic changes, the model was also sold by [[Chrysler Corporation|Chrysler]] in the US from 1991-96 as the '''[[Dodge]] Stealth'''

Regardless of its badge or eventual target market, every GTO, 3000GT, and Stealth was built on the same production line at MMC's plant in [[Nagoya, Aichi|Nagoya]], Japan.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT was built in three major versions: base, '''SL (Sport Luxury)''', and '''VR-4'''. In 1995-96 ASC developed a convertible hardtop version known as the Spyder in both VR4 and SL versions and approximately 1600 were produced. Japanese customers also had special lightened and tuned-up '''MR''' (Mitsubishi Racing) versions of the GTO. The Dodge Stealth came in base, '''ES''', '''R/T''', and '''R/T Twin Turbo''' versions.

Only the twin turbo 4WD version was officially imported and sold in low numbers by Mitsubishi Australia. These were sold at relatively high prices as an exclusive model in the Australian market. However, many more second-hand cars from Japan were later imported by Australian used car importers (like Australia, Japan is a right hand drive nation making used Japanese performance cars a popular import). Used models of the cars officially imported by Mitsubishi and sold new in Australia still command a premium price over the later "grey market" imports where they are advertised as "original Australian compliance plated" models.

The base versions of all model year Dodge Stealths and Mitsubishi 3000GTs from model years 1997-1999 were powered by a 3-liter naturally-aspirated single [[camshaft]] [[V6]] engine that created 162 [[horsepower]] (121 kW). From 1991-1996, the base model Mitsubishi 3000GT used a [[DOHC]] [[V6]] creating an advertised 222 [[horsepower]], which created some difficulty for Mitsubishi in convincing customers to pay the larger price tag on the SL model. The SL (and Stealth R/T) was essentially a luxury version of the base model, with extras such as [[leather]] seats, [[sunroof]], and for the Dodge version more detailed body styling. However the main difference was a [[DOHC]] engine that offered 222 hp (166 kW). The Stealth ES contained the more powerful (R/T) engine inside the less detailed (base) body, and was only produced from 1991 to 1993. All base, SL, ES, and R/T models had a choice of a 5-speed [[manual transmission|manual]] or an [[automatic transmission]], and came with standard [[front wheel drive]]. The VR-4, MR, and R/T Twin Turbo models had a twin turbocharged version of the [[DOHC]] V6 that created 300 hp (1991-1993, 1994-1999 had 320 hp), all wheel drive, four wheel steering, and a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission (5-speed in 1991-1993 versions). The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 had an electronically actuated rear [[spoiler (automotive)|spoiler]] and a movable air dam under the front fascia from 1991-1996. All VR-4's and SL's featured active electronically controlled suspension which could be switched on the fly between sport and tour modes, and VR-4's from 1991 - 1993 had active exhaust, which could be switched on the fly between sport and tour modes to alter the exhaust note.

These figures yielded impressive performance: 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 13.6 seconds @ 100.5 mph according to Motor Trend. The car also had a very impressive 155 mph top speed. Unfortunately, due to the all wheel drive system, the car was also heavy at 3,700+ lb.

== Construction ==

The car's underpinnings were essentially the same throughout its lifespan, but the exterior went through three alterations after the car was first released in 1991. The car went through numerous "facelifts" through the next couple of years, until U.S. production stopped in 1999 (the other 2 body changes were overseas). Production overseas continued, but no new models were available to the US directly. Mitsubishi's reluctance to create a new chassis for the car and the emergence of the well-received [[Mitsubishi Eclipse]] caused the GTO to be discontinued in 2001. The car continues to have a strong fan following.

==Trivia==

* After wrecking a [[Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution|Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III]] at the exit of a pit lane, in a bid to help rescue his kidnapped sisters, [[Jackie Chan]]'s character in ''[[Thunderbolt (1995 film)|Thunderbolt]]'' eventually receives a Mitsubishi GTO to race in.

* The Dodge Stealth was initially to be used as a [[Stealth_Indy_Pace_car|pace car]] for the 1991 [[Indianapolis 500]] race. The [[UAW]], however, did not like the idea of a Japanese-manufactured car being a pace car for the race, and a prototype [[Dodge Viper]] was substituted.
