As a former Mitsubishi Motors Australia LTD Employee I am always humble that young people like yourself find these cars exciting after all those years they were produced. Those were exciting times for our company under the leadership of a new CEO Tom Phillips who unfortunately passed away at the start of this month these cars were build with passion and pride in mind with a good old lets give it a red hot go and show Holden and Ford what we could do....I still have my Ralliart Magna after all these years only done 70,000klms and even though I don't drive it much these days it still is a vehicle that is close to my heart and reminds me of a time in Australian Manufacturing History that was exciting and fun unfortunatley now though all this is long gone and it in the revison mirror...

Bang on Johnny, you've gotta drive one to understand it. Everything from the shift feel, to the handling, to the noise it makes, and that wild styling. You can use every kW of it on the street and it's just FUN - and that's something you wouldn't expect from a Magna.

Great review Ross! I’ve got a Wheels magazine with The Ralliart on the front cover where they tested the Ralliart Magna against the Commodore XU6 HSV, and the Tickford Falcon XR6 when they were new, the Magna wiped the floor with them. They said the Magna was a cut above both of them, especially in terms of refinement, handling comfort, performance and road feel. And it’s amazing to think Mitsubishi Australia got the same 180kw out of an na 3.5 that HSV’s managed from their supercharged 3.8

I also own another Magna, it’s a manual Vrx with a 3.8 from the 380, she’s been cammed and tuned and has run a 13.1 quarter. My cousins manual cammed and tuned VY SS is neck to neck with it.

@@biastv1234 Holden had released the 300kw HSV GTS VT in 1999 with the 5.7L V8. But the problem with the car is that it weighed 1740kg. So even though it was pretty quick in a straight line. It's handling was not nearly as good as the Ralliart Magna's, since the Ralliart Magna undercutted it's weight by 270kg. To rub salt into wounds for Holden, 30 Ralliart Magna's came with Superchargers that pushed power to 250kw & the Ralliart Magna won fastest car in it's class at the Australian Motorkhana. Plus if you equip the Ralliart Magna with a flat tyre repair kit like the HSV was using, well it would mean that the Ralliart Magna was 300kg lighter than the HSV.

I learnt to drift in a '76 GTI (fwd). Yes, it's different, but when you get it right a front paw can handle the dirt better than a rear. I've driven a Magna Ralliart, but unfortunately was too scared to break such a beautiful machine so don't know what it handles like. But I bet it could be a lot of fun.
@brantleyfoster021 16 күн бұрын
The reason the car was so fast & good was because it was alot lighter than the competition. Most of it's RWD competition were over 1600kg. The Ralliart Magna was 1470kg, 1430kg with a flat tyre repair kit like it's competition were using. But 30 of them were Supercharged, which means that they could have 250kw. But they were the fastest car in their class around the Australian Motorkhana, so they handled really well. It also had a very low aerodynamic co-efficiency of 0.28.

I think 510 Ralliarts were built mostly in 2002 with roughly 1 of 4 cars manual, 5 colours Red, sable black pearl, white and pewter silver but 2 autos with sunroofs were wasp yellow. About 497 were numbered. There was build number 1 to 498 and 12 unnumbered cars built in 2001. The first Ralliart was a white manual built on October 10, 2001. The last one a red auto (build no 496) was built on 30 September 2002. My TJ Sports reaches 100km/h in just under 8 seconds in drive with just me alone inside the car (17x7 Alloy wheels, 235 tyres).

The ones that were built in 2001, I think there was at least 5 of them. Ex-Show car's or pre-production examples. Possibly some unnumbered ones too. But 5 of these came with different camshafts & compression ratio. They boosted power to 210kw from 180kw. There was concerns about them not meeting emission regulations, but they were still sold as such by Misubishi. I think that Autospeed previewed one & did a drag race against a Subaru WRX STI. They claimed that the Ralliart Magna killed the STI despite the Ralliart Magna being weight disadvantaged by the presence of another passenger. But think they were 13sec car's based on what these owner's have put on record.

Also the 3.5v6 was one of the most responsive feeling engines and sounds amazing for a V6. I used to beat BA XR6s and V6 commodores from the lights. I've also driven a base auto Magna and while it was good for a family sedan it wasn't what the VRX manual was. Currently drive a Mitsubishi Pajero io and it's also got a great manual gearbox.

After driven my Mum's 2004 TL VR Magna I... didn’t hate it as much as I though I would lol it goes alright with the 3.5L V6 and its 5sp auto was surprisingly good, subtle bodykit/wheels, nice blacked out interior with red fabric highlights, white dials, leather wheel etc even has a sportier muffler from factory on the VR. I think it must've got most of the VRX catalogue minus the more aggressive bodykit and maybe missed out on the AWD option in VR spec? Well equipped car and nice to drive, i still prefer my Commodores but its still better than expected. After owning a Holden LX8 Adventra thats AWD aswell, I'd be interested to see how the AWD Magna models feel to drive, i remember reading Mitsubishi used Evo parts for it.

They are great cars the TMR 380s. Braking & from a roll on, no doubt they were striking. But they weren't as fast as the Supercharged Ralliart Magna's. 30 Ralliart Magna's came Supercharged, they had about 250kw & weighed about 240kg less than the TMR 380. They weighed 270kg less than the TMR 380 if you equip them with a flat tyre repair kit. Plus some AWD Magna's were Supercharged too. They weighed 100kg less than the TMR 380.

@@DarrenC81 Yes, the Cordia was very fast in a straight line at the time. Some had alot more power than other's too, plus their was the Cop car's. But the true performance gun back then was the Starion. The Starion won many awards & achieved many notable racing win's. In standard trim, it offered a significant portion of the Cordia's straight line go. But it made up for not being as quick by being very quick in the corner's. It was excellent at drifting too.
