About the 1988 Mitsubishi Starion
The Mitsubishi Starion is a two-door, turbocharged four-seat hatchback produced from 1982 to 1989. One of the first modern Japanese turbocharged performance vehicles with electronic fuel injection, the Starion became a legend in Group A and rally competition. Its distinctive wedge-shaped design, wide-body fender flares, and potent 4G63T turbo engine made it a formidable competitor on both tarmac and dirt. The Starion remains a cult classic among JDM enthusiasts and a symbol of Mitsubishi’s motorsport heritage.
