Mitsubishi Pajero Evo - The 40 year old Legend - Off-Road Legends

The Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, or EVO, is an off-road legend with followers as loyal as Star Wars Fans. Named after leopardus pajeros, the Pampas Cat which inhabits the Patagonia plateau region in southern Argentina, this O.G. SUV is also known as the Shogun in the UK, and the Montero (meaning "mountain warrior") in Spain, India, and the Americas (except Brazil). This is because pajero is a slang term for "wanker" in the Spanish language

The first Pajero prototype was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1973. The Pajero II prototype followed in 1978, five years later. Mitsubishi’s aim was to create more of a recreational vehicle, not just an SUV.

In January 1983, the first Pajero made its debut at the Paris Dakar Rally, taking first place in 1985 at only the third attempt - WOW! To date, the Pajero is the most successful vehicle in the Dakar Rally, and for many years, that translated into big sales for the company.
The first generation made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1981, and was launched in May 1982. Initially, it was a three-door, short-wheelbase model available with a metal or canvas top. Its now been four generations, and the SUV is bowing out with only 1,000 units of the 2021 Pajero coming out. In its final lap, it has a lot of loyal fans to wave to, and the reliable truck still has some golden years left on the road.

Haven't heard of any Pajero/Montero ever to come with a Diesel V6 🤔
