Mitsubishi GTO MR – Passion Red – Rare “Mitsubishi Racing” Specification
Offered by CBS Racing is this original Mitsubishi GTO MR, finished in Passion Red and showing 91,000 km.
The MR (“Mitsubishi Racing”) is widely regarded as the most focused, reliable and purist-oriented version of the GTO / 3000GT platform.
Estimated production numbers place the MR well under 1,000 units, making it a genuinely rare specification.
Why the MR is different?
While standard GTO / 3000GT models were packed with advanced technology, the MR was intentionally simplified. To improve reliability and driving purity, Mitsubishi removed several complex systems, including:
- 4WS (rear-wheel steering)
- ECS (electronically controlled suspension)
- Active Aero
- ABS
The result is a lighter, mechanically simpler and more direct car, often considered the most dependable GTO variant for long-term ownership.
This philosophy is immediately noticeable on the road: the MR delivers a very direct, confidence-inspiring driving experience that feels markedly different from more complex GTO/3000GT versions.

Market perspective:
In period, the GTO / 3000GT sold in far greater numbers than the Supra or RX-7, offering more performance, more technology and greater usability.
Today, while Supra and RX-7 values have risen dramatically, the GTO MR remains significantly undervalued, despite its rarity, engineering depth and driving quality. For many enthusiasts, this makes the MR one of the most compelling JDM performance cars available at current market values.
Registration & sale:
The car can be registered in both the Netherlands and Belgium. Registration in other EU countries is generally possible, with local procedures handled by the buyer.
