As did the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT, a Lancer Evolution I-based minivan finally set to age out of America's restrictive 25-year import ban in 2020.
We’re not sure that worked as like its Evo brethren, the Chariot Resort Runner GT used a 5-speed manual transmission to power all four wheels via Mitsubishi’s “Dynamic Four” all-wheel drive system.
And from that success, and popularity in the video game Gran Turismo, Mitsubishi clinched the Lancer Evolution’s iconic enthusiast status and the reason we're talking about the Chariot Resort Runner GT today.
But more practically, these modifications meant that the Chariot Resort Runner GT hit 60 mph in under seven seconds and sprinted to a quarter mile in just 15.1 seconds.
More impressive was that after it clipped the quarter-mile, the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT could theoretically hit a top speed of nearly 140 mph.
