The Mitsubishi HSR III concept which was introduced in
1991 was the third in a line of HSR (Highly Sophisticated-transport
Research) concepts produced by Mitsubishi in the 80s and
90s.
The HSR III - like many Mitsubishi vehicles - was packed
full of clever electronic systems which could manage everything
from the suspension settings, to the traction control
for the AWD system.
Powering the HSR III concept was a twin-cam, 1.6 litre
V6 which produced 177 horsepower. The transmission was
controlled by two levers located on the steering wheel.
The vehicle featured both an AWD layout, and an all-wheel-steering
system.
While the HSR III never directly spawned a production
model, some of the styling elements can be seen in the
Mitsubishi Eclipse.
