It’s hard to believe now, but Mitsubishi used to be an absolute powerhouse in the automotive industry. In the 1980s and 1990s, Mitsubishi’s World Rally Championship success and the Lancer Evolution were just icing on the cake. The brand’s power didn’t even come from bulletproof SUVs like the Montero. It came from its design and production ability, as well as working with other automakers. A great example of that is the four-cylinder Mitsubishi Sirius engine, also known by the internal designation 4G6, which was in production from 1980 to 2013 in the mainstream and is still in production in China.
