The Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 was Mitsubishi’s Group A homologation model for the early 1990s, designed to bring the brand back into serious WRC competition. Introduced in 1988 and actively campaigned through 1992, the VR-4 featured advanced technology for its time including full-time all-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine. Though heavier than later evolutions, it delivered competitive results and laid the foundation for the Lancer Evolution dynasty that followed.
The Galant VR-4 introduced Mitsubishi’s 4G63T engine to rallying — a powerplant that would become legendary in the Lancer Evo series. Its AWD system provided traction over diverse conditions, though its large size limited maneuverability on tight stages.
The Galant VR-4 was a solid and durable entry that showed Mitsubishi could challenge the likes of Toyota and Subaru in world-class competition.
Drivers found the Galant VR-4 to be stable and confidence-inspiring, with good power delivery and traction across varying surfaces. However, its long wheelbase and weight made it less agile in twisty sections, requiring more commitment and early braking compared to smaller rivals.
