The Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin (also known as Pajero Pinin and Montero Pinin) was designed in Italy by Pininfarina, the first time it has been involved with designing a 4WD vehicle. The Pinin is the first ever European SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) to use a GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine. It will compete head on with the Suzuki Vitara, Land Rover Freelander and the Honda HR-V. Also on show will be Mitsubishi�s new generation Carismas and Galant, the award winning Shogun, the niche market recreational vehicle 4-Life Double-Cab Pick-Up and the Space Star and Space Wagon. Mitsubishi�s totally new Space Runner, a compact five seat people carrier, will be on the stand to gauge public reaction also. MotorsportMotorsport fans can see the rally-winning Evolution VI on Motorsport Days, 27 and 28 October, as driven by Tommi Makinen, who is one of the favourites to win the 1999 FIA World Rally Championships.
