The Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR, introduced in 1973, was the first rally car to carry Mitsubishi’s “GSR” designation. Derived from the production Lancer, it featured reinforced chassis components, a tuned 1.6 L SOHC engine, and lightweight fiberglass panels. Its blend of reliability and agility made it a formidable competitor in endurance and long-distance rallies.
Key innovations included lightweight body panels, a close-ratio gearbox, and high-capacity cooling systems optimized for long stages.
The Lancer 1600 GSR’s early rally success laid the groundwork for Mitsubishi’s future legend, the Evolution series.
Its balanced chassis and torque-rich engine rewarded smooth throttle control and precise steering. Upgraded suspension and brakes instilled confidence on both high-speed and technical stages.
