Product Description
- The Mitsubishi Pajero was released in 1982 with a station wagon-type body mounted on the chassis of the Forte 4WD small pickup truck, and was the forerunner of what we now call SUVs.
- At the time, the term SUV had not yet come into widespread use and cars were often called RVs (short for recreational vehicles), and the Pajero led the SUV boom and became extremely popular.
- In 1983, Mitsubishi began participating in the Paris-Dakar Rally, which was said to be the world's toughest rally at the time, as a way to promote the Pajero.
- Starting with a debut win in its first year, the car has continued to win many races since being based on the second-generation Pajero in 1991.
- Since 1997, rally cars run by automakers have had to be based on production cars (before that, prototypes that were significantly different from production cars were the norm), so to meet this requirement, Mitsubishi produced around 2,700 Pajero Evolutions, a rally-based car equipped with a suspension, engine, and aerodynamic devices that were advantageous for off-road driving.
- The Hot Wheels model faithfully reproduces the Pajero Evolution's distinctive features, such as the over fenders, front and rear aero bumpers, and engine hood with large air intakes.
