Mitsubishi Starion EX Turbo 1989

The Starion is considered to be one of the originators of the modern Japanese turbocharged performance sportscars of the era and certainly the first to use electronic fuel injection. Over the production run of the Starion, nearly every year brought changes with increased engine power as well as larger body sizes and more complexity in the vehicle. The introduction of the 'widebody' also split the car into two distinct ranges; one of which was a non-intercooled lower horsepower car using the narrow body style and a high-performance intercooled widebody. Many came with a limited slip differential and anti-lock brakes as standard features. Horsepower varied between 150-197hp depending mostly upon the turbocharger that was fitted, the presence of an intercooler and whether the eight-valve or 12-valve head was used.
