Description

The 1997 Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 Type S is an exceptional blend of performance, versatility, and practicality, making it one of the most desirable performance wagons of the late 1990s. Under the hood, the Type S is powered by a twin-turbo 2.5L 6A13 V6 engine producing an impressive 280 horsepower, delivering strong acceleration and highway cruising power. From the factory, it reaches 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds an astonishing feat for a wagon of its era and a testament to Mitsubishi’s peak engineering prowess. 

This trim also comes equipped with a robust 5-speed Sport Mode automatic transmission, allowing the driver to take full manual control of gear selection and even execute purposeful downshifts for spirited driving. Paired with Mitsubishi’s advanced VR4 all-wheel drive system, the Legnum Type S offers remarkable traction and stability in all weather conditions, making it equally at home on snowy roads, wet highways, or dry tarmac.

One of the most advanced features of the Type S is Mitsubishi’s AYC (Active Yaw Control) system, borrowed directly from the iconic Lancer Evolution V and VI. This sophisticated technology actively manages torque distribution between the rear wheels during high-speed cornering, enhancing stability and reducing understeer. In spirited driving particularly on mountainous, winding roads, the AYC’s presence is unmistakable, with the gauge cluster’s three green bars illuminating to indicate torque transfer levels, with level three signifying maximum engagement. The inclusion of such a motorsport-inspired system in a station wagon underscores the Legnum’s status as a truly unique performance machine that blends rally-bred technology with everyday usability.

As a Type S trim, this Legnum VR4 is appointed with features that set it apart visually and in comfort. Inside, the cabin boasts full black leather seating for a premium feel, complemented by a factory Mitsubishi Nardi steering wheel for a sporty touch. The exterior is enhanced with the Type S aero package, projector headlights, and fog lights, giving the wagon an aggressive and purposeful stance. Adding to its aesthetic appeal are period-correct OG Work Emotion 18-inch wheels in gloss white, which remain in mint condition and perfectly suit the car’s 90s performance heritage. 

 

The VR4 Type S features larger flared front and rear fenders to fit its wider wheels and tires, giving it a more aggressive stance and improved high-speed stability. It also sports the full factory Type S aero package, including unique side skirts, bumper treatments, and a rear spoiler, enhancing both aerodynamics and visual appeal

Whether tackling snowy winter commutes, engaging in spirited summer drives, or embarking on cross-country road trips, this Legnum VR4 Type S stands out as an ideal multi-purpose vehicle that delivers on all fronts comfort, capability, and raw driving enjoyment.
