It would of been funny if...Mercedes RalliArt E55 Evolution and the Mitsubishi AMG Lancer...

 

Wow I never knew about that car too. I also didn't know they actually produced that 6x6 for sale.

 

There's a cult following of the AMG Galant in Japan. There's a video on youtube as well


It is mostly an appearance kit, but still neat.

how about this bute!

 

Gross!! WTH is that monstrosity?! Looks like across between a VIP car, an RV and a yacht.

 

That my friend is a Mitsubishi Debonair AMG! 0 to ugly in one look!

 

AMG's early days before they were acquired by Mercedes.

 

The AMG mods were mostly aesthetic BUT they also breathed a few engine mods to the tune of an additional 15 or so hp.

I took this picture a few years ago when I visited a Japanese importer / dismantler when I was buying some stuff for my project car.

 

AMG had been going for 22 years already when this Mitsubishi came out. Incidentally, I believe it was the same year (1989) that Mercedes-Benz initially acquired an interest in AMG, no doubt spurred by the success of The Hammer - which in turn is the great granddaddy of our E55's.

 

Now the 4G63 motor in the W202 W203 and R170 makes a little more sence.
