The Mitsubishi Starion, a sporty coupe produced from 1982 to 1989, marked a significant departure from the Japanese automaker's typically conservative offerings. Designed to compete directly with the likes of the Toyota Supra and the Nissan 300ZX, the Starion boasted a sleek, aerodynamic profile that was a radical departure from its contemporaries. The car's name, which translates to "shooting star" in Japanese, hinted at its performance aspirations. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the Starion offered impressive punch for the era. While the base model delivered a respectable 140 horsepower, the later "ESI-R" models cranked out a potent 170, offering a thrilling driving experience. The Starion was also notable for its advanced features, including a digital instrument cluster, power windows, and a unique rear-mounted, retractable spoiler. It garnered praise for its handling, which was aided by a sophisticated independent suspension system and a well-balanced chassis. However, despite its impressive capabilities and innovative design, the Starion never quite achieved the commercial success of its Japanese rivals, ultimately contributing to its discontinuation in 1989.
Despite its limited production run, the Mitsubishi Starion has since achieved cult status among automotive enthusiasts. Its unique design, performance, and advanced features, combined with its relatively affordable price point, make it a desirable classic car.
