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.

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.
