| Mitsubishi GTO History The Mitsubishi GTO was originally launched in 1970 as a part of the Colt Galant family (therefore it was called Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO) which was sold halfway through the seventies and the GTO name would not return until 1990 as its own model.
In 1990 Mitsubishi developed a sport coupe to compete in the $40,000 class with the likes of the Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, Nissan 300ZX, Corvette, and low end Porsches. The car that dawned was the Mitsubishi GTO, and it reigned as Mitsubishi’s flagship sports car from 1991-1999. The GTO was named the Mitsubishi 3000GT in the United States and Europe in order to avoid confusion and anger amongst fans of the Ferrari GTO sports car series and Pontiac GTO muscle car. Built in Nagoya Japan, the GTO was also sold in the US with its own body shape as the Dodge Stealth from 1991 to 1996.
