This Mitsubishi Galant Is An Ultra-Rare, AMG-Tuned, 8000rpm JDM Hero
You probably think you know what AMG is about, and for anything bearing the famous three letters since the turn of the millennium, you’re probably right. Wind the clock back even further, though, and you get this.
A barely-known project for Mitsubishi produced a limited run of front-wheel drive, 1220kg Galant saloons for 1991. They had high-compression pistons, titanium valve springs, hollow rockers and a special intake that swirled the air more for fuller combustion. Normally aspirated, it produced around 170bhp, spun to 8000rpm and probably still sounds fantastic at full chat.
Facts are scant on the super-rare animal, but rumour has it that the AMG tuning homologated the Galant for racing series that the turbocharged VR4, fettled by Ralliart, wasn’t eligible for. Sit back and enjoy this video from Pacific Coast Auto.

MidnightblueGalant(Mitsubishi) you HAVE to see this
I made it in my forgotten japanese cars posts xD they even made a debonaire amg! but I think they were fwd, still awesome though and lightweight
Wow
dude theres one on mudah
Good thing you posted it, because now I want it so badly that I will sell everything I have to get this. My heart is beating so quickly and is so warm now for this…..
12k RPM Subie or this?
I would have both
This one isn’t the best looking one I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen Galant AMG’s that look waaaaaaaaaaay better. The proper black paint, aftermarket wheels, and a nice exaust as well…
Its sad because people will think you’re a badger
Here in the Philippines… There are some amg’s left… Riced or even abandoned because galants is popular here back in the 90’s and 80’s
my mind has been blown
Eyy it’s pacific coast auto
