Mitsubishi 3000GT / GTO: "Super-Starion", missing its rightful acclaim

By the time of the so-called economic bubble in the Japanese economy in the late 1980s, Japanese car companies had made significant progress in car development and production. Innovations were everywhere, from the design, where squares and angles were beginning to give way to softer and more rounded shapes, especially noticeable in concept cars, to the technological aspects, from digital dashboards and VTEC, to four-wheel steering. Competition among Japanese sports cars was becoming more and more fierce each day, with cars like the Nissan 300ZX, Toyota Supra, and Mazda RX-7. The stars of today's video also wanted a piece of the pie; however, by the late 1980s, their sports flagship, the Mitsubishi Starion, was gradually becoming obsolete, both morally and technically, and could not present proper competition to the newer cars from its rivals. As a result, it would be replaced by one of the most technologically advanced and insane car of its decade: Mitsubishi 3000GT / GTO!
