Mitsubishi won the 2007 Dakar Rally

[eggman]

I remember back then pumasok ang Porsche 959,Citroen at Peugoet sa Dakar,nanalo naman sila but they've pullled out dahil masyadong irrelevant daw(mga walang 4X4 vehicles noon).

I think Mitsu deserves a win talaga sa Dakar,sila ang Ferrari ng Dakar eh(in my opinion at least).I think the 4 liter MIVEC is based or identical sa 3.8 MIVEC ng Eclipse,Endeavor at new Pajero.

Another reason for me to remain a Mitsu fanboy.

First off, congrats to Mitsubishi for winning the Dakar. This year's race was again marred with casualties on the part of the competitors. Changes in the rules and improvements in equipment meant no non-competitor (e.g. villagers, media, etc.) casualty in recent years.

As the old Nascar saying goes, 'Race on Sunday, sell on Monday'. The vehicles in Dakar may be different from what manufacturers sell in their showroom but it does not mean that technology does not trickle down. Competition makes a great test bed for new technologies. And it is not limited to big parts like drivetrains. Things like aluminum cooling systems, improved CV joints, intelligent all wheel drive systems, and other things we now take foregranted in modern automobiles were battle tested in competition before becoming commonplace.

The monocoque chassis and IRS of the GEN III Pajero is a product of lessons learned at the Dakar.

And if one ever wondered what those 'Valeo' body graphics on the Pajeros meant, Valeo is a parts supplier for Mitsubishi and they use racing to improve the products they make. They also supply to other vehicle manufacturers.


This is correct because the local market directly went to the 3.8l motor.

Guys, no need to get into a name calling match here.

Well said Chief Otep!
