Its a big day for the #Mitsubishi #Pajero, heres some points from the Press Release celebrating 3 million Pajeros: In a world were SUVs are now commonplace, the Mitsubishi Pajero confirms its seniority passing recently a new milestone with the 3 millionth unit produced since 1982. Descending from the seminal 1936 PX 33 four-wheel-drive torpedo, Pajero was to become a pioneer of a new trend when the first generation was launched in Japan in May 1982, that of modern lifestyle-orientated SUVs. Over four successive generations of Pajeros, European customers in particular took notice, making the region its Number One market worldwide and still growing. ... An effort no doubt supported by an impeccable racing track record no other SUV can claim, including a total of 12 wins at the legendary Dakar Rally as well as 4 FIA World Cups for Cross Country Rallies. Today, Mitsubishi Motors remains committed to the full-size SUV segment with a nod to the future given by the 2013 Concept GC-PHEV show car. Sitting above today’s Outlander PHEV, this conceptual Grand Cruiser was developed to express MMC’s vision for a large, robust and powerful SUV able to pamper its passengers in utmost safety over all sorts of terrains, for work or leisure, with the lowest possible environmental impact – the result of an innovative plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain made of a 3.0-liter V6 super-charged MIVEC petrol engine, a clutch, an 8-speed automatic transmission, a high-output electric motor and a high-capacity battery, the latter installed under the rear cargo floor for better front/rear weight distribution.
