Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo, the top tier performance model that set itself apart from the standard 3000GT through advanced engineering and cutting edge technology. When Mitsubishi introduced the 3000GT lineup in the early 1990s, the base models were designed as capable grand touring coupes, while the VR-4 was developed as a true flagship, showcasing everything the brand could offer in performance and innovation.
What distinguished the VR-4 from the standard 3000GT was its twin turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine, delivering significantly more power and a more aggressive driving character than the naturally aspirated versions. The VR-4 was also engineered with performance focused hardware that elevated it into a different category, making it a serious competitor to other high end sports cars of the era. Paired with a 5 speed manual transmission, the VR-4 delivered a far more engaging and performance oriented driving experience than its standard counterpart.
This example is finished in a striking red exterior with a bold black and red leather interior, reinforcing its performance focused personality. Despite its sporting intent, the VR-4 still offered a full suite of comfort and convenience features including air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes, blending performance with everyday usability. Safety features such as seat belts, a driver airbag, and anti lock brakes added reassurance, while power locks, power windows, power mirrors, leather interior, and radial tires made it a well rounded grand touring car.
The 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 stands as a landmark in Japanese automotive history, representing the pinnacle of the 3000GT platform. While the standard 3000GT delivered style and comfort, the VR-4 took things further with turbocharged power, advanced performance engineering, and a level of sophistication that made it one of the most impressive and memorable sports cars of its generation.
