I dont usually do this anymore, but sure. Keeping the info short but basically; mitsibushi cyborg rs, theres only a handful of these left in the world. Limited numbers were made and virtually none have survived. Came as a 1600 turbo from factory, but sure thats no fun so its evo'd. And yes its also 4x4. Does'nt weigh very much either so its nothing short of a complete laugh to drive and throw about! Not really going to go into engine spec nor engine bay pics cause well... i just dont want to yet lol :p
This is totally different to anything ive ever owned or been in, The power is just unreal an handling/grip is bonkers especially for such a tiny car. Excuse the crap pics, itll get a proper shoot very soon.


cheers @AIRFORCE1 and @evolessrick for all the help. Legends the both of you

That is one hell of a sleeper!

Quite a strange looking thing if I'm honest but in a retro cool 80s kinda way if you know what I mean. I'd loose those wee blue stickers on the rear wing and then it would be pretty much perfect in my eyes. Maybe even a set of steel wheels to round off that sleeper look.

You just reminded me of the first time switched my play station one on, and I played my first ever game (gran turismo 2) for hours and hours non stop, I remember reading the wee info section on just about every road car there was, pretty sure this car was one of my first purchases to start winning races. God you've just made me feel so old :eek:

Haha thats the cj shape cyborg your thinking of! And funnily enough thats how i knew they exsisted as well. Had one of those too, 175bhp 1600cc with lsd n recaros as standard. Gran turismo has alot to answer for lol ive a thread up somewhere was a couple years ago i had that shape. I completely lucked out getting this as there literally is only a handful left in existance, itll probably be the coolest car ill ever own

That is superb. Must be nice to know it's so rare. We need interior pics!

Have seen it about Lisburn a few times now, always admired how clean it looked, especially for an early 90's jap car - they liked to rust!
Knew they weren't all that common, but didn't think they were as scarce as you said!

Now that is proper cool (y) remember the gti version when I was young but never knew there was an RS version class!

im guessing you could eventually wire the fog into the existing rear bumper reflectors?

That's fantastic. Doesn't look to be a spec of rust on it either... Been in the UK long?

Is it Scotia white?
