Mitsubishi 0-60 Times

If you’re looking for a new ride in the Mount Vernon area that’s equal parts stylish, powerful, and luxurious, you can’t go wrong with a Mitsubishi! Mitsubishi has a long history of producing top-quality vehicles with lightning-fast acceleration, premium features, and long-lasting durability. You may have spotted a 1995 Mitsubishi Outlander in Fast and Furious, and the fastest Mitsubishi of all time accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 3 and a half seconds! The team at Victory Mitsubishi has more details on the ten fastest Mitsubishi models as well as the 0-60 times of the current lineup in the guide below. 

What Was The Fastest Mitsubishi Ever?

We’re determining the fastest Mitsubishi of all time by their 0-60 acceleration times. You may think that the fastest Mitsubishi model ever made was the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from Fast and Furious, but it’s actually the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ 440! The Lancer was first produced in 1973 and was an iconic mainstay of the Mitsubishi lineup all the way until 2017. The Lancer Evolution was a variant on the traditional compact sedan, and the Evolution X FQ 440 was produced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mitsubishi’s presence in the United Kingdom. It roared to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds thanks to a powerhouse 440-horsepower engine under the hood. In fact, when you look at the top ten fastest Mitsubishi models of all time, they’re all Lancer Evolution models! Check out the list and their respective Mitsubishi 0-60 times:

1. Lancer Evolution X FQ 440: 3.6 seconds
2. Lancer Evolution VIII FQ 400: 3.8 seconds
3. Lancer Evolution IX FQ 360: 3.9 seconds
4. Lancer Evolution X FQ 360: 4.0 seconds
5. Lancer Evolution IX FQ 340: 4.3 seconds
6. Lancer Evo X FQ 330: 4.4 seconds
7. Lancer Evo X FQ 300: 4.5 seconds
8. Lancer Evolution VIII FQ 340: 4.7 seconds
9. Lancer Evo VIII FQ 330: 4.7 seconds
10. Lancer Evolution MR: 4.7 seconds
