■ Product description ■ In 1982, Mitsubishi Pajero appeared as a pioneer of what is now called SUV by customization of station wagon-type body with the chassis of small pickup truck Forte 4 wd.
At that time, the term SUV was not widely used and it was often called RV (abbreviation of Recreational Vehicle), and Pajero became very popular as a driving force of the boom.
In 1983, Mitsubishi also promoted Pajero and joined the Paris Dakar Rally, which was said to be the toughest rally in the world at that time.
It started with the debut win in the first year, and after changing the base to the second Pajero in 1991, it won many victories.
Since 1997, the rally cars run by automakers were required to be based on commercially available cars (before that, prototypes that were significantly different from commercially available cars were mainstream). Therefore, Mitsubishi produced about 2700 units of Pajero Evolution, a base rally car equipped with suspension, engine, and aerodynamic devices, which is advantageous for off-road driving.
In the Hot Wheels, the features of Pajero Evolution such as over-fender, front and rear aerobumper, and engine hood with large air intake are reproduced thoroughly.
