The Pajero Evolution was Mitsubishi’s saving grace 25 years too early.
, the hotted Pajero is an entirely different beast underneath the skin versus the standard truck. A 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V-6 unique to the Evo sits under the hood, pushing out 276 hp and 256 lb-ft of torque. It’s attached to a torque converter automatic that sends power to a shiftable 4WD system with Torsen limited-slip differentials front and rear. Mitsubishi went as far as to remove the live axle and put in an independent suspension for better handling.
The biggest surprise is in the steering. With the big, knobby tires and Nineties engineering I expected a ton of vagueness and a nice fat dead spot on center. Instead I got plenty of feel and a pleasantly speedy rack that doesn’t take much effort to turn. The steering wheel itself is refreshingly free of buttons, knobs, and other distractions. That being said, I hate how it looks and I’d immediately swap it out for a three-spoke Momo wheel if given the chance.
This is one of those rare cases where it might be alright to settle for the automatic gearbox, despite its primitiveness. While the stick-shift might be more fun to drive, numerous reports suggest it’s a fragile piece that often breaks—not something you’d want to deal with on a rare, highly specialized car never sold in America. Plus, the actual Dakar race trucks used automatics, so opting for the auto would be sticking true to the truck’s homologation roots.
