A 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Spyder is drawing renewed attention as it heads to auction, offering a rare combination of low mileage, advanced engineering, and open-top performance. With just over 13,000 miles displayed, the vehicle stands out as a well-preserved example of one of Mitsubishi’s most ambitious performance cars of the 1990s.
Originally registered in Hawaii, the car later relocated to Florida in 2022 under current ownership. Finished in Caracas Red and paired with a gray leather interior, the Spyder reflects the era’s focus on combining high performance with luxury-oriented features. Its design incorporates front and rear spoilers, integrated fog lights, side vents, and a distinctive rear wing, contributing to both styling and aerodynamic function.
At the heart of the vehicle is a twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.0-liter V6 engine, factory rated at 320 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered through a six-speed manual transaxle and an all-wheel-drive system, providing strong traction and performance across varying conditions. The car also features four-wheel steering, a technology that enhances handling and stability, particularly at higher speeds.
The chassis is supported by an independent multi-link suspension with stabilizer bars, while 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with recently dated tires further reinforce its road-ready condition. Recent service work totaling more than $7,000 addressed key mechanical components, including repairs to the convertible top system with new hydraulics and a rebuilt control module, as well as a speedometer repair.
Inside, the cabin blends comfort and functionality with bolstered seating and a range of driver-focused features. The interior includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo system. Instrumentation consists of a 180-mph speedometer, tachometer, and additional gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, and boost levels.
With its combination of advanced technology, documented service history, and limited mileage, the 3000GT VR-4 Spyder represents a distinctive offering in the collector market. As interest in 1990s performance vehicles continues to grow, examples like this highlight the era’s push toward innovation and high-performance engineering. See it here.
