As for star Lyon 4WD rally says at a time 1 unit vehicle feature is different that all vehicles are prototype,, but when you divide roughly, to FRP you can divide into the thing and those of production model of the latter term which are converted those of all steel body of early production type and the door panel etc. of mid term. In addition the type which is exhibited to the motor show of 83 years had loaded the Sirius dash engine. Though this in order to produce technical image with motor show, not to be the intention of debutting truly with the dash engine, be able to load, it seems the way. In addition there is the difference even in suspension and the like, as for early type also the front & the rear are the single wishbone, but last period type has become the marketing car and similarly マクファーソンストラット.

In addition it is unclear, concerning the actual production quantity, but that it exists, it is made only 2 units which are kept in England and the Mitsubishi Okazaki factory.

Because this type with the early design, the body panel is diverted from the marketing car, it has become the system whose method of installing the door mirror and the like is identical with the marketing car. In addition the Sirius dash engine is loaded by this vehicle and also the electromotive fan is installed making provision for the demonstration run and the like.

Mil piste rally participation car

When it becomes this time, it meaning that the door panel and the like becomes FRP, form is different from the marketing car, also method of installing the mirror becomes direct attachment in the door. In addition with respect to appearance you do not understand, but for body rigid improvement, the bulkhead (the partition) is gained in position of the rear seat rear section.

The 4WD rally which exists only on the Japanese country. Imitating the color ring of the Hong Kong - Beijing rally participation car, it enters, but comparing by sight the picture, as understood, the different thing. It was the schedule where the vehicle of this type becomes the true marketing car. Actually directing to marketing, because it is to unite with the part which is prepared, the car weight vis-a-vis complete プロト being 960 kilometers 1 There are nearly 3 tons. In addition also meter and the like has become firm.

History of star Lyon 4WD rally >

Eighties beginnings, Mitsubishi participated in the category which is called to WRC group 4 with the run sir EX2000 turbo. But, by 200 production cars where main current is called group B immediately, it kept entering to the times when it can participate in WRC. With Mitsubishi, adjusting to this group B stipulation, it came to the point of developing the vehicle which has the turbo engine with 4WD, that is star Lyon 4WD rally. Cutting the star Lyon which is the based vehicle front overhang, the 2mm bore raising the same 4G63 type SOHC engine as the run sir EX2000 turbo, basically, you used as 2091cc. The highest output 360ps/7000rpm, largest torque 35 0kg m/5000rpm. Setting that engine mount to the rear as much as possible, it was the conception that that it distributes to the tire front and back with the 4WD transmission of 5 speeds. Because it is the rally machine like the new racing car for Mitsubishi ワークス, part supply although it went from Mitsubishi, assembled actually concerning the production early vehicle famous Suzuki sheet metal with such as race/lace, アンデルス クーラング and ラッセ ランピ etc. did test travelling at such as feather bird survival land and Mitsubishi Kitsuregawa laboratory of that time and finally kept finishing.

In November of 83 Tokyo motor show marketing 200 in official debut, and 84 year final stage it participated in WRC, with it was the schedule which is said, but the rival of this time, アウディ and プジョー and Lancia and others had announced the machine which from already advances. プジョ of the midship - 205 and Lancia 037, it is delta S4 and S2 クワトロ etc.. And summer of 84, as for star Lyon 4WD, you debutted in the mil piste rally of south France which can run also the special car which is not marketed. This time it has become prototype class victory once, but プロト of Citroen and Matra 4WD each 1 unit you be able to test the same class be able to start running in other things and, all-inclusive running what it does only star Lyon was the class victory with being. In addition, just the last 3rd leg ran also RAC which it can start running in November of this year. But, when already you mention 500ps over, obtaining the power which does not have either Tetsu, still, competing with the rival of midship layout without is not either the expectation where it can win, as for star Lyon 4WD there are no either times when it is marketed it ended the history of the group B in WRC in limited to 86 years.

After that the group B which loses the place of participating with WRC becomes that each manufacturer fights furiously in such as hill climb series, but in 87 with アウディスポーツクワトロ usual 750ps, maximum of 1, we have been times, 000ps, assuming, that Mitsubishi continued activity that way, the place of participating was not in star Lyon 4WD which is the mass production car base.

Star Lyon 4WD presently to beauty talks is converted as a machine of the tragedy where the category which participates with the group B end of WRC is gone, but you can say that it is the machine of the tragedy which is produced with the efficiency whose Mitsubishi which could not be overcome in remainder and the world trend which are really swung in cost is vague. In addition, being superior in traction and the like when accelerating concerning the potential, when you see totally, there is also a testimony that it was slower than group 4 run sir. Plan of actually place beginning had draft as a midship 4WD, it probably means that the result where is already different a little, but when like the chassis layout is done and when it has been given the engine of the private design, that thinks, the name, star Lyon is used and how as another high, has been produced. But the technology which is cultivated in this star Lyon 4WD is not wasteful under any condition, after that it blooms in ギャラン and VR4 and the run sir evolution series has reached to the present.


Development: Okazaki car technical center research group
Group leader: Shoji Yamamoto
Engine: 2.4L 4G63B water cooling serial 4 cylinder SOHC 8 valves

Turbo Intercooler turbo TD06H19C
Horsepower 360PS/7000rpm
Torque 35.0kgm/5000rpm
Total length X full X total height 4400 X 1695 X 1320mm
Wheelbase 2435mm
Vehicle weight 1250kg
Tire Before 195/65R15
After 255/60R15

In addition As for the center diff. where three diff. are used, combine the bis refuse coupling those which develop the one for agriculture of the English ファーガソン corporation. The on-board engine of 4WD with Tokyo motor show of 83 years to tell the truth was G63B Sirius dash. In other words, Sirius dash most first And V in, to load, it was 4WD without.

Game history In 85 from rally Europe you participate in marry shear rally
86 years, in the Hong Kong of 87 years - Beijing rally participation (those due to the Chinese clue), it had modified front form and the oil cooler etc. inside リアスポ, with each rally

But the pic right at the top looks like the DASH Engine with MPI so how could it be 8v's or was this yellow one a variant ?

Interesting reading!!! From what I can figure everytime it says marketed, the correct word should be homologated. Which basically means it had SFA development, which is not surprising if they reckon it was slower than the old group B Lancers.

Bit of a shame, but they were behind the 8 ball from the start compared to the competition at the time. The car would never have been competitive as a group B car.

The onset of the Group A rules were kinder to the Starion than group B was, mainly because group A is a lot more production based that what group B was, which was pretty much anything goes... However even in group A they suffered from not enough development and slow homologation in bringing changes forward. Something to do with the Jap/English translation getting stuffed up all the time I do believe. Funny that!

Yeah I would LOVE to get my hands on the 2.6 DOHC head. I guarantee that the guys in the states would go nuts if it went into production.
