1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution

This 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution is one of approximately 2,700 homologation models built to qualify Mitsubishi for the grueling Paris-Dakar Rally. Finished in striking Satellite Silver Metallic with Ralliart-style graphics, it pairs rugged off-road performance with collector-grade rarity. Under the hood, a 3.5L MIVEC V6 delivers a factory-rated 276 hp and 256 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic, dual-range transfer case, locking center differential, and limited-slip front & rear differentials—making it as capable on the trail as it is on the road. Evolution-specific bodywork includes quad fog lights, dual hood scoops, flared fenders with cooling ducts, roof spoiler, and side steps, riding on 16″ six-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in fresh 2024-date-code all-terrain tires. A covered spare mounts to the rear cargo door, and braking is handled by four-wheel ABS discs. Inside, the right-hand-drive cabin features Recaro sport seats in black cloth with patterned inserts, a Panasonic GT20 navigation system, cassette stereo, automatic climate control, and power windows/locks. With just 82,000 km (~51,000 miles), this Pajero Evolution blends rally heritage, distinctive styling, and robust engineering—making it a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
