Mitsubishi Pajero - Japanese all-wheel drive

Few world brands show the world a long and rich history of development. Such world famous brands include the Japanese giant, a veteran of ship and military equipment - Mitsubisi. This company can boast the release of several generations of all-wheel drive car Mitsubishi Pajero. Like a small number of famous companies, this concern was not named after its founder.

Brand Mitsubishi has nearly a century and a half history. And initially, in 1870, the birth of the company was associated with shipping. Over time, the organization expanded, creating new industries and developing new technologies. Automotive industry appeared as one of the branches of the concern's work. With the development and change in the company's activities, its name also changed. Yataro Iwasaki - the founder of the company - originally, in 1870, christened his offspring as Tsukumo Shokai. Then the name changed several times, and in 1875 the concern became known as the Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Company, under its wing was issued a huge number of cars, one of which is Mitsubisi Pajero.

The development of the automobile branch began in the first decade of the 20th century. It was then that Iwasaki released the first passenger car from the factory assembly line. However, the car did not become popular and was withdrawn from production, although the society rated this device quite high. It is this Mitsubishi Model A that has become the starting point for the emergence of all models of the concern, including Mitsubisi Pajero.

The emergence of this model refers to the early 80-ies of the 20 th century. Before this was a split of the corporation, the automobile branch went into a separate free-floating and was named Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. In 1982, Mitsubishi Pajero was released from the assembly line of an independent education. Clear lines, brutal appearance, comfortable interior and excellent characteristics favorably distinguished this SUV from the existing cars on the market. It is this device gained fame not only as a powerful SUV, but also as an excellent car for the rally. Confirmation is a huge number of awards won at various competitions (Paris-Dakar, Tunisia, Paris-Granada).

This all-wheel drive brutal vehicle, fully justifying its name (pajero - predatory beast living in South America, something like our lynx), has become one of the few SUVs that can boast of several successful generations. So, an excellent example is its modification - Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. The beginning of release of the given sports variant is necessary for 1998, release of twelve years proceeds. Then, in 2008, the company saw the second generation of this model.

This five-door unit is manufactured on the basis of Mitsubishi L200. By the way, the remarkable fact is that in America the name of this "offspring" Pajero sounds like Montero Sport, and in Japan - Mitsubishi Challenger. A huge experience, which the engineers of the concern have accumulated during various competitions and rallies, formed the basis for the creation of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

The characteristics of this fantastic device meet the requirements of even the most sophisticated motorists. The obstinate front bumper, which are aggressively looking at the world, the front lights are pacified by smooth transition lines and rounded planes. This is what a modern SUV should look like: the brutal power of an all-wheel-drive friend, the high ground clearance and ferocious sound of a three-liter engine hiding the power of 177 "horses" - these data made a huge impression on fans of big and formidable cars.
