  • The Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) debuted in 1970 as the flagship hardtop variant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's then-new Colt Galant sedan. The Colt Galant GTO exterior was penned by Hiroaki Kamisago, who had previously been sent by Mitsubishi to study at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, it incorporated many stylistic cues from contemporary American muscle cars like the Mustang, Firebird and Cougar, including a long hood, raised cut-off ducktail rear, and rounded quad-headlamps and tail-lamps. It was also the first Japanese passenger car to have full, roll down, side windows and a pillarless design. Mitsubishi Racing Development (AKA Colt Speed) intended the Colt Galant GTO to compete in the prestigious JCCA Grand Prix circuit. However, the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 sounded the demise of GP racing, so the GTO race program was mothballed. Nevertheless, GTO's were successful in Rallying, including the famous Japanese Alpine Rally. Initially, there were three Colt Galant GTO models offered, all powered by the Saturn engine: the M1, M2 (1600 cc SOHC, 5-speed) and the top-spec MR, a 125 horsepower (93 kW) version only available in Japan. In 1972 Mitsubishi upgraded the power plants with their new Astron units. The range now consisted of the LS, GS (2000 cc twin-carb, 5-speed manual) and GS-R (2000 cc twin-carb, 5-speed manual). They were also given a mild facelift to distinguish them, comprising a one-piece slats-type grille and three-piece tail lights. Additionally, the 125 hp (93 kW) GS-R had wider 185-section tires, flared guards and a black-painted rear panel between the lights. There was a second styling tweak in 1974 when the car gained a honeycomb-style front grille. The last Colt Galant GTO's produced gained the Astron 80 engine with Mitsubishi's Silent Shaft system. After relatively long production run, the GTO was finally replaced by Galant Lambda/Sapporo in 1978.
  • ギャランGTO(-ジーティオー、Galant GTO)は、三菱自動車工業が製造・販売していたファストバックスタイルの2ドアハードトップ。 コルトギャランの基本設計を流用しつつ、新たにスポーティーなハードトップとして登場した。トランクリッド後端の跳ね上がったデザインはダックテールと呼ばれ、当時の米国製「マッスルカー」のトレンドを、小型車のサイズに巧みに反映させた精悍なスタイリングを誇っていた。ドアパネルもコルトギャランクーペと共通である。
