The seller offers for sale this 1986 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in a bold red that suits its angular 1980s styling, this Mitsubishi Starion Turbo is an increasingly rare survivor of the great era of Japanese turbocharged sports coupes. The pop-up headlights, distinctive rear spoiler and crisp wedge profile give the car a purposeful, period-correct look, and the original alloy wheels complete the picture. The seller reports that the car was cherished for many years by its previous German owner and presents in a tidy and original state, with all original booklets still present to underline its authenticity.
According to the seller, this Starion has covered approximately 95,000 km and benefits from an extensive maintenance history, having always passed its periodic TÜV inspections. Recent work is said to include replacement of the timing belt and the auxiliary belt, along with various servicing carried out to prepare the car for use. It is rear-wheel drive with a manual gearbox, and the seller notes that the engine and transmission function as they should. The car is in good condition and drives, brakes and shifts.
The Starion was Mitsubishi’s flagship sports coupe of the 1980s, a turbocharged, rear-drive grand tourer that competed directly with cars such as the Nissan 300ZX and Toyota Supra. With its electronically fuel-injected turbo engine and assertive styling, it became an icon of the decade and a car closely associated with the golden age of Japanese performance. Surviving examples in original, well-documented condition are becoming genuinely scarce, and this Starion represents an appealing entry into a class of classic that is attracting growing collector interest.
