The Mitsubishi Magna are a mid-size vehicles which was created over three generations between 1985 and 2005 by Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL). Developed as a replacement when it comes to Mitsubishi Sigma, each Magna generation produced from Japanese systems re-engineered when it comes to Australian markets and conditions. At first, Magna provided inline-four engines in a mid-size sedan package---a section wagon debuted in 1987. Over the years, each brand new series grew in dimensions, and with the 2nd generation of 1991, the product range was bolstered by an extravagance variant labeled as Mitsubishi Verada and a V6 motor. During this time, the Magna/Verada became the initial Australian-made automobile become shipped globally in vast quantities, predominantly because the Mitsubishi Diamante. The third and final version Magna/Verada launched in 1996, adding all-wheel-drive (AWD) from 2002, and getting an amazing styling modify in 2003. These were replaced because of the Mitsubishi 380 in 2005.
MMAL manufactured the Magna/Verada at its Clovelly playground, South Australian Continent plant. Many their engines---most particularly, the initial four-cylinder Astron II (codenamed 4G54) and subsequent Cyclone V6 motors (codenamed 6G72 and 6G74)---were manufactured during the Lonsdale, South Australian Continent plant.
The Mitsubishi Diamante try a motor vehicle produced by Mitsubishi engines between 1990 and 2005.
Initial series was a hardtop introduced to the people at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989. It proceeded sale in Japan solely in-may 1990 and obtained that season's Japan automobile of the season award. It was created by splicing an additional 6.6 cm right down the middle of the Mitsubishi Galant, which itself have won the Japan vehicles of the season prize in 1987.
Title Diamante is derived from the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian term for "diamond" and ended up being adopted furthermore as homage towards the Mitsubishi badge. In Japan, this car is sold at a specific retail string called vehicles Plaza.
From 1991, a far more old-fashioned Diamante-derived Mitsubishi Sigma sedan was also built-in Japan because of its domestic and European export areas. It became the basis for the second generation Magna individually built in Australian Continent. Their Australian luxury derivate, offered while the Verada, became the Diamante for export areas like brand new Zealand and North America a-year later on. The Wagon variation was also shipped including to Japan.
There were rumors that the Diamante is either not intended for a Japanese introduction, or it could were prepared as a low-volume model. The reason behind this debate usually until 1989, the width of automobiles was an essential indication of taxation class. The Diamante, being larger compared to the 1,700 mm (66.9 in) breakpoint, will have experienced a sizable taxation punishment against most of their rivals, which were designed to feel just under limit. At the time, Mitsubishi's image has also been considered not as much as ideal for the advertisements of an extra car---its most expensive offering the time, the Debonair, had been largely viewed as a company automobile task for Mitsubishi conglomerate professionals. The Diamante's introduction was the consequence of the Honda Legend, which caught manufacturers by shock when it appeared in 1986, inspiring the development of the Lexus and Infiniti divisions, in addition to various executive vehicles course vehicles becoming revised consequently. Mitsubishi needed seriously to contend with the Legend and the Diamante was the effect.
But the income tax circumstances have changed in 1989, while the Diamante became the surprise hit of 1990. Amidst Japan's bubble economy, numerous private vehicles owners needed an executive automobile in market which had very few brand-new offerings that season.
Following a claimed A million development cost, Mitsubishi introduced the Magna to Australia in April 1985, initially as a sedan best model, but with a station wagon added in Summer 1987. It was manufactured at Tonsley Park, South Australian Continent. MMAL designated this very first Magna whilst the TM series, using the 1987 and 1989 news referred to as TN and TP series, respectively.

Mitsubishi created the Magna as an alternative for rear-wheel drive (RWD) Sigma. Formerly, Mitsubishi had a more substantial household vehicles in the form of the primarily six-cylinder Chrysler Valiant, inherited upon MMAL's takeover of Chrysler Australian Continent's businesses in 1980. However, the Valiant ended up being put out of production the following seasons, creating the medium-sized Sigma MMAL's biggest providing. Whenever an upgraded became because of, MMAL opined that a vehicle's width had been an essential factor to Australian buyers with usually favoured huge vehicles. Thus, to contend better resistant to the large RWD competitors, viz. the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore, previous Chrysler designers now working for MMAL, created a wider mid-sized vehicles specific into Australian market. This design produced by the fifth-generation Japanese Mitsubishi Galant (Sigma), a front-wheel drive (FWD) automobile revealed in August 1983. Engineers accomplished this by splicing an extra 65 millimetres (2.6 in) of width through the Galant's human anatomy by strengthening it for Australian roadway conditions. Mitsubishi Motors codenamed these automobiles as "YF" and "YFW"---"W" for "wide". To emphasise the size advantageous asset of the Mitsubishi over more medium automobiles, it had been called Magna---deriving from the Latin keyword magnus, indicating "big".
In April and July 1996, MMAL respectively circulated a new generation Magna and Verada, that have been broadly on the basis of the pillar-less Japanese second generation Diamante that Mitsubishi aspired becoming a BMW rival in america market.
The price of the Australian task had been some A0 million and both cars claimed the 1996 tires vehicles of the Year prize, with judges praising the car's affordable.
As had been the way it is using the 2nd generation, the TE and KE sets provided similar system, which was codenamed "YR". Their health are larger (10 mm or 0.4 in greater and longer than the TS show but near the KS show) and stiffer (13 per cent more) however best marginally more substantial (by under 20 kilograms or 44 lbs) than before as a result of its better aluminum construction. The latest Magna and Verada in addition had coupe-like frameless microsoft windows plus thin centre/B-pillars, with increased front side and rear legroom and boot area. The Verada was once again recognized by most luxurious fittings and much longer front and back bumper pubs to meet up US protection standards. Around, unlike the Verada, Magna's cabin had been ruled by dark gray trim that, together with the highest waistline, triggered some criticisms about a claustrophobic "bunker" impact.
Magna's powerplants included, the very first time, a Japanese-imported 2.4-litre four-cylinder (codenamed 4G64-S4) with 90 % brand-new section in accordance with the relevant system fitted in the past Magna. There were also newer Australian-made V6 motors with a 3.0-litre ability (codenamed 6G72) when it comes to Magna and a 3.5-litre displacement for Verada (codenamed 6G74). The V6 returned official town and highway gasoline consumption figures of 10.5 L/100 km (22 mpg-US) and 6.6 L/100 kilometer (36 mpg-US), respectively.
The original models included the manager as well as the Altera (earlier, the SE), both available with a range of either system and four-speed automatic or five-speed guide transmissions. From October 1996, completely prepared Advance and Altera LS products (the latter, roughly the same as the last Elite model) had been added. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder system produced 105 kW (141 hp) and 205 N*m (151 lb*ft), while the 3.0-litre V6 created 140 kW (188 hp) and 255 N*m (188 lb*ft), saying a markedly quicker 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint and enhanced 80 to 100 km/h (50 to 62 mph) speed days. The four-speed electric "INVECS II" automated transmission was latest and may conform to the motorist's design of good use and roadway circumstances to select the maximum gear for any scenario, by way of "fuzzy-logic". Even though power-assisted rack-and-pinion method have similar mounting things due to the fact Diamante, the equipment are manufactured to MMAL's specs in Australian Continent, by TWR. Suspensions had been independent (MacPherson struts) at the front, instead of the multi-link styles regarding the Diamante, which however contributed their back multi-link on Australian Continent sedan (even though the wagon followed yet another and more lightweight build entirely). Brakes included disks all over (front side ventilated) with the alternative of a Bosch 5.3 abdominal muscles. The braking program additionally included Australian Continent's first "Banksia" parking braking system (manufactured by PBR), some 10 to 20 % lighter and less expensive than traditional techniques at that time.
The Verada was readily available as an Ei or Xi model, just readily available with the 3.5-litre V6 (which created 147 kW (197 hp) and 300 N*m (221 lb*ft)) mated to a computerized transmission. Their greatest requirements once more formed the foundation of MMAL's export programme, getting the only Diamante for several globe markets except Japan, where a Japanese-built Diamante remained available. Mitsubishi in the pipeline to export 25,000 devices annually to 18 region. In its biggest market---the United States---the Diamante was situated to compete when you look at the "near deluxe" section. In New Zealand, the V3000 badge had been resigned as well as the new Diamante marketed truth be told there contains rebadged Australian types of the Magna and Verada, instead of Diamantes with unique requirements for several other globe export markets.
The administrator ended up being the entry level design that featured: energy steering, four-speaker sound system, energy mirrors, remote boot and gasoline filler production, main locking and a motor immobiliser. The Altera model, that has been a mid-entry amount model, added: air-conditioning, power microsoft windows and cruise controls. Options included: airbags for motorist and traveler, ABS, a CD athlete and alloy rims. Subsequent additions toward design number included the Advance (safety-package) together with Altera LS (mid-luxury package), which featured ABS, airbags, CD athlete and alloy tires as standard.
The TE show was released with a short palette of eight tints. Four are transported more than from the earlier TS Magna (i.e. Paris White, Calypso Red, Arctic Blue, and Maderia (maroon)) and another four had been newly launched (i.e. Silverleaf (silver), Kashmir (light beige), Greenstone and Embassy (charcoal grey)). A short-lived Olive Green color was made available late manufacturing in TE/KE manufacturing and Atlantis Blue (dark sapphire-blue pearl) ended up being special towards the Verada.
The TE and KE series had been many aerodynamic car stated in Australia with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.28. This accomplishment ended up being considering a sweeping roofline (which, however, compromised back headroom) and things like "flag" additional rear-view mirrors, fixed to independent door posts in place of being more typically mounted on the leading door A-pillar triangle.
a wagon version was launched in March 1997, with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.33, but was rapidly replaced by the TF show equivalent three months later on.
The 6G72 try a 2972 cc system. Bore try 91.1 mm (3.59 in) and swing are 76 mm (3.0 in). SOHC 12-valve, SOHC 24-valve, and DOHC 24-valve models happen created.
The latest version had been used in the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and Galant. Output in 2004 had been 210 hp (157 kW; 213 PS) at 5500 rpm with 278 N*m (205 lbf*ft) of torque at 4000 rpm. When you look at the elderly version, found in numerous Chrysler systems since 1987 this V6 was a SOHC 12-valve developing 141 hp (105 kW) at 5000 rpm and 172 lb*ft (233 N*m) of torque at 3600 rpm. The Mitsubishi models are with a 3.0 Litre 6G72 system SOHC 24-valve developing 195 hp (145 kW) at 5000 rpm and 205 lb*ft (278 N*m) of torque at 4000 rpm.For the MIVEC system production try 201 kW (273 PS; 270 hp) at 6000 and 304 N*m (224 lbf*ft) at 4500.
The SOHC 12-valve for the 2nd generation of Pajero can provid 109kw and 235N*m,the SOHC 24-valve can provid 133kw and 255N*m.
The DOHC 24-Valve had been found in the Mitsubishi Debonair, 3000GT and Dodge Stealth making 222 horse power (166 kW) and 205 pound force-feet (278 N*m) of torque in naturally aspirated kind, so that as much as 320 horse power (240 kW) and 315 pound force-feet (427 N*m) of torque in turbocharged kind. Each lender associated with the V6 had a unique independent turbocharger and intercooler. Turbo chargers are built by Mitsubishi. These were water-cooled to make sure extended provider lives.
The 6G74 try a 3,497 cc 24-valve product offered with either SOHC, DOHC, or MIVEC DOHC. Bore was 93 mm and swing is 85.8 mm. Output for SOHC version varies from 139 kW (189 PS; 186 hp) at 4,750 rpm with 306 N*m (226 lbf*ft) of torque at 3,750 rpm inside Pajero to the highest output of 163 kW (222 PS; 219 hp) at 5,250 rpm with 317 N*m (234 lbf*ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm when you look at the Australian-made Magna activities, VR-X and Verada GTV/GTVi and 180 kW (240 PS; 240 hp) at 5,500 rpm with 333 N*m (246 lbf*ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm in Magna Ralliart. For MIVEC, only available in the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, the output are 194 kW (264 PS; 260 hp) at 6,000 and 324 N*m (239 lbf*ft) at 4,500 rpm. They utilizes MFI fuel injections and makes use of forged metallic connecting rods.
The gas direct injections version of the 6G74 was released in April 1997 due to the fact very first GDI V6 system ever before created. It differed through the standard 6G74 in many ways aside from their unique gas injections program --- they had a crown-curved without level burning chamber, upright intake harbors rather than angled, and a 10.4:1 as opposed to 10.0:1 compression proportion. Mitsubishi advertised 30 percent better fuel economic climate, a 30 percent decrease in emissions, and greater energy outputs than diesels.
The TF/KF series had been introduced in Summer 1997. Magna's range contains five models: manager, Advance, Altera, Altera LS and activities. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine is observed only when you look at the Executive. These cars offered redesigned wheel protects, speed-limit alarm and enhanced internal trims, which included cup holders. The administrator and Advance are identical in features nevertheless Advance have a new interior trim and is fitted as standard with airbags and ABS. The entire colour-coded Altera and Altera LS launched power house windows and lots of other available choices such twin front side airbags. Manual transmissions became best available on administrator, Advance, Solara and activities. From June to August 1998, a limited edition Solara ended up being introduced and it also included all Advance properties as standard, plus: alloy wheels, colour-coding, "Solara" badging from the rear doors and at the bottom right-hand region of the boot.
The Magna Sports ended up being available in just four tints: Paris White, Calypso Red, Nautilus azure (deep blue), and Frontier Green (deep green), the second two colour becoming not used to the TF series. This new-model held all standard top features of the manager design which it absolutely was based, plus a deck top spoiler, purple side strip, 16-inch alloy tires (just like the Verada Ei, but polished), and unique internal trims such a metal-style tool cluster fascia. Its V6 had been standard as on all Magnas, however, only the activities might be optioned with a manumatic recreations Mode four-speed automated transmission featuring for the first time on an Australian-built car, a manual moving function (via an extra transmission gate plane off to the right of standard gear roles, with "push-forward" upshifts and "push-back" downshifts). The recreations had improved dealing with traits thanks to the improvement of an 18 mm back swaybar (a rear club swaybar wasn't fitted to the conventional Magna), 11 per cent firmer backside springs, harder top control arm and trailing arm shrubs, and suspension height decreased by 10 mm. Choices included dual airbags and abdominal muscles. This unique design represented MMAL's foray in to the Australian sporty family members passenger automobile industry, including a preliminary and very long delinquent departure from the much more traditional Japanese items thinking. The recreations' manufacturing stopped after September 1998.
The 3.5-litre engine that driven the KF series Verada had been identical to that suited to the KE series. Their biggest modifications, like TF series Magna, included brand new wheel design and cabin trim, revised colours and a specification modification -- including an over-speed caution product, cupholders and standard double front side airbags.
Several newer tints (Cocoon White (pearl white), Astral Blue (metallic blue), Lugano Green (pearl blue/green) and Burra (pearl dark red/bronze)) are introduced through the subsequent production of the TF series and the last device built arrived on the scene in December 1998.
About 60,000 TF Magna's had been built and over 5,000 KF Verada's for Australian roadways.
The TH series was released in March 1999 with the first examples integrated December 1998. The cost of this upgrade (like Verada versions) achieved A million, which moved towards enhanced availability of the 3.5-litre V6 engine and a matching manual transmission in addition to requirements and trim changes over the number.
In the engine front, actually, considering slow product sales and growing consumer preference to get more effective machines, Magna's brought in four-cylinder ended up being dropped. Currently, the 3.0-litre V6 became standard and Verada's 3.5-litre engine also became a Magna choice. The 3.0-litre V6 was fitted only to the exec, while all the designs could be run on the previous Verada's 3.5-litre V6 (optional on manager).
Aesthetic adjustment included revisions to your standard build of vehicles, including a far more intense forward grille, redesigned rear, revised interiors, redesigned wheel protects and alloy tires. Ac was made standard throughout the range. Numerous colour changes also happened: Calypso Red is replaced with Sienna Red, while Sable Ebony pearl (pearl black with green flakes) took the place of Embassy gray. Riversand, a brand new strong beige metallic colour, has also been launched in April 1999 as had been Mawson light, a brighter most pure white (pictured right) and Pewter (metallic silver), which replaced Silverleaf. Area Blue and Glacier Green (aqua blue/green) had been two other latest tints applied to the TH but are unusual.
The TH and KH sets stated the honours to be the very first Australian-made automobile with a four-channel abdominal muscles featuring an Electronic Brake-force circulation (EBD) system---a Bosch 5.3 module. Another brand new crucial feature was an 8-function journey computer system and incorporated anti-theft home security system. The model number included: manager (handbook and automobile); Advance (handbook and auto); Altera LS (auto) and activities (guide and activities Mode automatic).
MMAL in addition became 1st Australian manufacturer to offer a traction control program labelled "TCL" (meaning, Trace Control Logic), that was switchable and in the beginning offered best on Magna activities. A finite version Solara is re-introduced later in 1999 plus the V6 Si in April 2000. Altera LS was discontinued at the conclusion of 1999, because of its closeness to the Verada Ei. The 1999 systems lacked V6 badges nevertheless the 2000 versions often featured these regarding the straight back lower right end associated with the boot lid. The very last TH series production between May and Summer 2000, had been 1000 Executive LS devices (automatic best), which were just like the stopped Altera LS but without power microsoft windows, twin airbags much less colour-coding (example. unpainted black colored mirrors).
A Magna Sports participated in the Australian GT manufacturing vehicles Championship, with differing success, driven by MMAL professional and privateer, Robert Chadwick. The vehicle featured forward minimal slip differential (LSD) later on brought to manufacturing regarding TJ series Magna Ralliart.
Solitary overhead camshaft (SOHC) try a design where one camshaft is placed in the cylinder mind. In an inline motor, what this means is there's one camshaft within the head, whilst in a motor with more than one cylinder head, such as a V engine or a horizontally-opposed engine (boxer; level motor) --- there are two camshafts: one per cylinder bank.
In SOHC design, the camshaft works the valves right, usually via a bucket tappet; or via an intermediary rocker arm. SOHC cylinder heads are inexpensive to manufacture than dual expense camshaft (DOHC) cylinder heads. Timing buckle replacement could be smoother since you can find less camshaft drive sprockets that have to be lined up during substitution treatment.
SOHC styles offer decreased difficulty compared to overhead valve design --- when utilized for multivalve cylinder minds, for which each cylinder possess significantly more than two valves. A good example of an SOHC design making use of shim and bucket device adjustment was the system installed in the Hillman Imp (four-cylinder, eight device); a small, early 1960s two-door saloon automobile (sedan) with a rear installed aluminium-alloy system in line with the Coventry Climax FWMA battle engines. Exhaust and inlet manifolds were both on a single side of the system block (thus not a crossflow cylinder head design). This performed, but offering exemplary use of the spark plugs. A more efficient crossflow, "hemi-head" set of roller chain-driven, single-overhead camshaft valvetrain cylinder heads when it comes to seven litre displacement American Ford FE V-8 system in 1964 managed to get in to the Cammer V8 motor, supposed to directly challenge the racing prominence regarding the seven litre displacement Chrysler "elephant" overhead valvetrain Hemi engine in early-1960s NASCAR competitors, but insufficient homologation the Ford "cammer" in United states stock car race triggered their usage nearly solely in NHRA pull racing competitors associated with sixties.
During the early 1980s, Toyota and Volkswagen Group in addition made use of a right actuated, SOHC synchronous device setup with two valves for every single cylinder. The Toyota program made use of hydraulic tappets, whilst the Volkswagen system used container tappets with shims for valve approval adjustment. Of all of the valvetrain systems, here is the minimum complex configuration feasible.
Utilizing the introduction associated with the TJ series in July 2000, Magna provided revised styling. The vehicle's overall form remained exactly like the previous TE to TH show, with the exception of an elevated central section for the bonnet ending with a beak splitting the leading grille, creating some journalists coin the term "bird of prey". Magna recreations additionally the brand new VR-X model featured the exact same one-unit turn-light/double parabolic headlights as Verada. At the back, the boot-lid featured a recessed centre area and new end light lenses with new-trend circular lit chambers. The expense of this upgrade was some A million.
Magna Advance sedan (TJ Series 2)
Magna manager 3.0-litre truck (TJ)
A unique new-chromed Mitsubishi badge was also launched, replacing the greater amount of old-fashioned purple triple diamonds. MMAL's proposition to make use of a black Mitsubishi badge to differentiate the Magna activities number is refused by Japan's traditional management. Another exterior change in the TJ show had been the replacement associated with chrome-look window surround with a more latest black colored fitting (Verada models maintained the greater luxurious chrome).
Several latest colours were introduced like an extremely brilliant area azure (aqua) and Glacier Green (green aqua, both utilized on some earlier TH show in 1999), that have been stopped after only a few period of manufacturing. In May 2001, a darker Pacific azure colour is introduced to displace the simply mentioned two tones and flame-red was also reintroduced into number, mostly given that hero colour when it comes to subsequent Ralliart model. Sapphire Blue and Daintree Green are included too and shown preferred. Gray and beige inside choices had been made available to any exterior colour in Executive/Advance, with gray usually the default, getting the only real choice regarding the show 2 provided their better purchases recognition. Equipment level increased inside TJ show with a driver's airbag and CD athlete now standard over the range.
The TJ series transported within the earlier 140 kW (188 hp) 3.0-litre V6 (6G72) when it comes to administrator models, which may now become enhanced utilizing the optional 150 kW (201 hp) 3.5-litre V6 (6G74), usually fitted to other models as traditional. This triggered Executive brands with a 3.0-litre engines being exceedingly uncommon and, eventually, dropped entirely in subsequent show.
Unlike 6G74-based system available in Japan, the Australian-built V6 still have 24 valves but utilized an individual overhead camshaft (SOHC) build as opposed to a more complex and expensive dual overhead cams (DOHC) build.
Activities and VR-X featured a larger 2.5-inch free flowing activities fatigue program, lesser adjustment towards the timing and duration of valve orifice (both inlet and exhaust), which boosted power up to 163 kW (219 hp), causing a moderately sporty exhaust tone and class-leading performance amongst Australian-made athletics sedans. Their particular engine was advertised as a "high result" product to differentiate it from the conventional 150 to 155 kW (201 to 208 hp) variation fitted on all the Magnas and Veradas.
At publish, the model range of the TJ and KJ show made up: the Magna manager, Magna Advance sedan and wagon, Magna Sports sedan, Magna VR-X sedan, Verada Ei sedan and truck, and Verada Xi sedan.
The Magna Sports featured complete outdoor color coding, six-spoke 16x6-inch alloy rims, enhanced suspension and swaybars and a deck top spoiler shared with the Magna VR-X. The mechanically comparable VR-X shared these features, but in addition had aggressively fashioned front side and back bumper spoiler extensions, wheel arch extensions, side skirts and enormous diameter round chrome fatigue tip. Inside, the Sports and VR-X in addition shared white tool group dials, recreations cloth seat trim and front seat backrests embroidered using the particular models' name. The automatic VR-X furthermore have a chrome gear gate passed down from Verada. The following and unusual Magna Sports truck (created just with the TJ show) ended up being installed with a full bodykit featuring silver accents, unlike the recreations sedan that presented just have a deck top spoiler.
Automated activities and VR-X (as well as Verada) brands were today fitted with a five-speed Sports Mode transmission with "TCL" grip controls system, making Mitsubishi the very first Australian maker to go beyond the then typical four-speeds. Meanwhile, manual transmissions had been dropped from wagons, which attained standard automated transmissions.
In October 2000, MMAL supplied a limited-run Magna Solara, which was in line with the Advance. Inside showcased a four-disc in-dash CD athlete, while externally it was distinguished by 15-inch "Manta" alloy wheels as traditional, two-tone paint finish and body-coloured outside mirrors, front grille and home part mouldings.
The TJ series was the subject of many rolling updates, from May 2001 spearheaded by an upgraded VR-X number, followed by that September 2001 affecting all systems including the Verada range (officially known as the MY02 show) and culminating aided by the TJ and KJ show 2 in July 2002. In 2002 and 2003, the TJ show was also bolstered because of the Magna Ralliart and by the Magna and Verada AWD range, correspondingly. Using the KJ Series 2 up-date, MMAL launched the limited-run Verada GTV, which used drivetrain the different parts of the Magna Sports and VR-X. This afterwards became a permanent model rebadged since the Verada GTVi from March 2003.
Total production of the TJ and KJ series as after 2001, reached 43,492 products with 19,215 shipped into the US, brand new Zealand, Puerto Rico and the Middle East (where Magna additionally ended up served as an Iraqi police patrol cars). The highest honor claimed by this series ended up being the Diamante's name of the latest Zealand's Car of the season for "most useful huge Car".
In 2001, a Magna TJ Sports won course D regarding the GT manufacturing Showroom Showdown Race at Bathurst and a V8-powered RWD Magna contested the V8 Future Touring lessons associated with the 2000--01 Australian Super Touring Championship. The Magna VR-X ended up being voted the best-value results automobile in the Australian market by a News restricted panel of motoring reporters.
With develop and wholesale between May and June 2001, this automobile was promoted whilst the "VRX-tra". They featured the aforementioned external improvements plus interior upgrades that have been part of a "Leather Pack" available in two areas. The optional "Pack 1" included:
Special black colored fabric/Howe fabric trim with "VR-X" embroidered front seats in a choice of blue or purple with matching door panels, dependent on external paint (i.e. blue with Pacific Blue, Sapphire Blue and Mawson White paint; purple with Sienna Red, Pewter and Sable (black colored))
Colour-coordinated tool group (blue or purple with "VR-X" inscribed rev countertop)
Two-tone black colored leather wrapped controls with perforated silver inserts (which later became an optional accessories for all brands)
Silver panels for center console
Verada-sourced accessories eg enhanced eight-speaker sound system with energy antenna and in-dash four-CD stacker plus enhanced journey computer with dual readout.
The optional "Pack 2" contains all "bring 1" properties and the Verada's electric sunroof with front side map and C-pillar lamps. In all, MMAL built 175 of the brands, which 54 were fitted with the five-speed automatic and a sunroof.
August 2001 inform
As part of this modify, formally referred to as TJ MY02 series, side impact bars formerly installed simply to export systems were furthermore launched for Australian markets cars, as well as the front side doorways now featured energy taking in material. The Magna government got abdominal muscles and power house windows as standard, although the Advance, Sports and VR-X are each fitted with a six speaker speakers (up from four), automated environment controls, front side map lights, glovebox lamp and power antenna. The Verada Xi's electric sunroof with front side map lamps and C pillar courtesy lights is today recommended on all models. The recreations ended up being further distanced from the VR-X by no further revealing the exact same boot top spoiler, but a smaller sized variation (which became another optional accessories across the Magna range, and is installed as traditional on subsequent limited-run brands, the Verada GTV and Diamante VR-X). Energy the standard (non "high production") 3.5-litre V6 motor risen up to 155 kilowatts (208 hp) thanks to a greater compression proportion and a Karman Vortex airflow meter. The instrument group today have a odometer and trip meter, instead of the past analogue setup. The above system power increase additionally interested the Verada number. Moreover, the Ei is now fitted with a new chrome grille, while both the Ei and Xi obtained newer design alloy-wheels and illuminated vanity mirrors. With this enhance all cars now had clear front turn bezels.
A limited-run Magna V6 Si, in line with the exec sedan, launched in September 2001. Its primary functions included by 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and energy house windows as traditional. Externally, it had the latest recreations' boot top and body-coloured grille, side mouldings, splash protectors, atmosphere dam and home mirrors.
Eventually, MMAL in addition introduced an additional and last 95 leather-based packages for VR-X, produced in November 2001.
In March 2002, MMAL also launched the limited-run Magna Commonwealth Games edition. On the basis of the administrator sedan, it was more designed with a forward traveler airbag, six-disc CD athlete, cruise control, floors mats and power antenna. Externally, it has 16-inch alloy tires, "Commonwealth Games" badging and body-coloured properties as on V6 Si.
MMAL manufactured the Magna/Verada at its Clovelly playground, South Australian Continent plant. Many their engines---most particularly, the initial four-cylinder Astron II (codenamed 4G54) and subsequent Cyclone V6 motors (codenamed 6G72 and 6G74)---were manufactured during the Lonsdale, South Australian Continent plant.
The Mitsubishi Diamante try a motor vehicle produced by Mitsubishi engines between 1990 and 2005.
Initial series was a hardtop introduced to the people at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989. It proceeded sale in Japan solely in-may 1990 and obtained that season's Japan automobile of the season award. It was created by splicing an additional 6.6 cm right down the middle of the Mitsubishi Galant, which itself have won the Japan vehicles of the season prize in 1987.
Title Diamante is derived from the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian term for "diamond" and ended up being adopted furthermore as homage towards the Mitsubishi badge. In Japan, this car is sold at a specific retail string called vehicles Plaza.
From 1991, a far more old-fashioned Diamante-derived Mitsubishi Sigma sedan was also built-in Japan because of its domestic and European export areas. It became the basis for the second generation Magna individually built in Australian Continent. Their Australian luxury derivate, offered while the Verada, became the Diamante for export areas like brand new Zealand and North America a-year later on. The Wagon variation was also shipped including to Japan.
There were rumors that the Diamante is either not intended for a Japanese introduction, or it could were prepared as a low-volume model. The reason behind this debate usually until 1989, the width of automobiles was an essential indication of taxation class. The Diamante, being larger compared to the 1,700 mm (66.9 in) breakpoint, will have experienced a sizable taxation punishment against most of their rivals, which were designed to feel just under limit. At the time, Mitsubishi's image has also been considered not as much as ideal for the advertisements of an extra car---its most expensive offering the time, the Debonair, had been largely viewed as a company automobile task for Mitsubishi conglomerate professionals. The Diamante's introduction was the consequence of the Honda Legend, which caught manufacturers by shock when it appeared in 1986, inspiring the development of the Lexus and Infiniti divisions, in addition to various executive vehicles course vehicles becoming revised consequently. Mitsubishi needed seriously to contend with the Legend and the Diamante was the effect.
But the income tax circumstances have changed in 1989, while the Diamante became the surprise hit of 1990. Amidst Japan's bubble economy, numerous private vehicles owners needed an executive automobile in market which had very few brand-new offerings that season.
Following a claimed A million development cost, Mitsubishi introduced the Magna to Australia in April 1985, initially as a sedan best model, but with a station wagon added in Summer 1987. It was manufactured at Tonsley Park, South Australian Continent. MMAL designated this very first Magna whilst the TM series, using the 1987 and 1989 news referred to as TN and TP series, respectively.
Magna GLX sedan (TM)
Magna SE sedan (TN)
Mitsubishi created the Magna as an alternative for rear-wheel drive (RWD) Sigma. Formerly, Mitsubishi had a more substantial household vehicles in the form of the primarily six-cylinder Chrysler Valiant, inherited upon MMAL's takeover of Chrysler Australian Continent's businesses in 1980. However, the Valiant ended up being put out of production the following seasons, creating the medium-sized Sigma MMAL's biggest providing. Whenever an upgraded became because of, MMAL opined that a vehicle's width had been an essential factor to Australian buyers with usually favoured huge vehicles. Thus, to contend better resistant to the large RWD competitors, viz. the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore, previous Chrysler designers now working for MMAL, created a wider mid-sized vehicles specific into Australian market. This design produced by the fifth-generation Japanese Mitsubishi Galant (Sigma), a front-wheel drive (FWD) automobile revealed in August 1983. Engineers accomplished this by splicing an extra 65 millimetres (2.6 in) of width through the Galant's human anatomy by strengthening it for Australian roadway conditions. Mitsubishi Motors codenamed these automobiles as "YF" and "YFW"---"W" for "wide". To emphasise the size advantageous asset of the Mitsubishi over more medium automobiles, it had been called Magna---deriving from the Latin keyword magnus, indicating "big".
In April and July 1996, MMAL respectively circulated a new generation Magna and Verada, that have been broadly on the basis of the pillar-less Japanese second generation Diamante that Mitsubishi aspired becoming a BMW rival in america market.
The price of the Australian task had been some A0 million and both cars claimed the 1996 tires vehicles of the Year prize, with judges praising the car's affordable.
As had been the way it is using the 2nd generation, the TE and KE sets provided similar system, which was codenamed "YR". Their health are larger (10 mm or 0.4 in greater and longer than the TS show but near the KS show) and stiffer (13 per cent more) however best marginally more substantial (by under 20 kilograms or 44 lbs) than before as a result of its better aluminum construction. The latest Magna and Verada in addition had coupe-like frameless microsoft windows plus thin centre/B-pillars, with increased front side and rear legroom and boot area. The Verada was once again recognized by most luxurious fittings and much longer front and back bumper pubs to meet up US protection standards. Around, unlike the Verada, Magna's cabin had been ruled by dark gray trim that, together with the highest waistline, triggered some criticisms about a claustrophobic "bunker" impact.
Magna's powerplants included, the very first time, a Japanese-imported 2.4-litre four-cylinder (codenamed 4G64-S4) with 90 % brand-new section in accordance with the relevant system fitted in the past Magna. There were also newer Australian-made V6 motors with a 3.0-litre ability (codenamed 6G72) when it comes to Magna and a 3.5-litre displacement for Verada (codenamed 6G74). The V6 returned official town and highway gasoline consumption figures of 10.5 L/100 km (22 mpg-US) and 6.6 L/100 kilometer (36 mpg-US), respectively.
The original models included the manager as well as the Altera (earlier, the SE), both available with a range of either system and four-speed automatic or five-speed guide transmissions. From October 1996, completely prepared Advance and Altera LS products (the latter, roughly the same as the last Elite model) had been added. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder system produced 105 kW (141 hp) and 205 N*m (151 lb*ft), while the 3.0-litre V6 created 140 kW (188 hp) and 255 N*m (188 lb*ft), saying a markedly quicker 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint and enhanced 80 to 100 km/h (50 to 62 mph) speed days. The four-speed electric "INVECS II" automated transmission was latest and may conform to the motorist's design of good use and roadway circumstances to select the maximum gear for any scenario, by way of "fuzzy-logic". Even though power-assisted rack-and-pinion method have similar mounting things due to the fact Diamante, the equipment are manufactured to MMAL's specs in Australian Continent, by TWR. Suspensions had been independent (MacPherson struts) at the front, instead of the multi-link styles regarding the Diamante, which however contributed their back multi-link on Australian Continent sedan (even though the wagon followed yet another and more lightweight build entirely). Brakes included disks all over (front side ventilated) with the alternative of a Bosch 5.3 abdominal muscles. The braking program additionally included Australian Continent's first "Banksia" parking braking system (manufactured by PBR), some 10 to 20 % lighter and less expensive than traditional techniques at that time.
The Verada was readily available as an Ei or Xi model, just readily available with the 3.5-litre V6 (which created 147 kW (197 hp) and 300 N*m (221 lb*ft)) mated to a computerized transmission. Their greatest requirements once more formed the foundation of MMAL's export programme, getting the only Diamante for several globe markets except Japan, where a Japanese-built Diamante remained available. Mitsubishi in the pipeline to export 25,000 devices annually to 18 region. In its biggest market---the United States---the Diamante was situated to compete when you look at the "near deluxe" section. In New Zealand, the V3000 badge had been resigned as well as the new Diamante marketed truth be told there contains rebadged Australian types of the Magna and Verada, instead of Diamantes with unique requirements for several other globe export markets.
The administrator ended up being the entry level design that featured: energy steering, four-speaker sound system, energy mirrors, remote boot and gasoline filler production, main locking and a motor immobiliser. The Altera model, that has been a mid-entry amount model, added: air-conditioning, power microsoft windows and cruise controls. Options included: airbags for motorist and traveler, ABS, a CD athlete and alloy rims. Subsequent additions toward design number included the Advance (safety-package) together with Altera LS (mid-luxury package), which featured ABS, airbags, CD athlete and alloy tires as standard.
The TE show was released with a short palette of eight tints. Four are transported more than from the earlier TS Magna (i.e. Paris White, Calypso Red, Arctic Blue, and Maderia (maroon)) and another four had been newly launched (i.e. Silverleaf (silver), Kashmir (light beige), Greenstone and Embassy (charcoal grey)). A short-lived Olive Green color was made available late manufacturing in TE/KE manufacturing and Atlantis Blue (dark sapphire-blue pearl) ended up being special towards the Verada.
The TE and KE series had been many aerodynamic car stated in Australia with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.28. This accomplishment ended up being considering a sweeping roofline (which, however, compromised back headroom) and things like "flag" additional rear-view mirrors, fixed to independent door posts in place of being more typically mounted on the leading door A-pillar triangle.
a wagon version was launched in March 1997, with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.33, but was rapidly replaced by the TF show equivalent three months later on.
The 6G72 try a 2972 cc system. Bore try 91.1 mm (3.59 in) and swing are 76 mm (3.0 in). SOHC 12-valve, SOHC 24-valve, and DOHC 24-valve models happen created.
The latest version had been used in the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and Galant. Output in 2004 had been 210 hp (157 kW; 213 PS) at 5500 rpm with 278 N*m (205 lbf*ft) of torque at 4000 rpm. When you look at the elderly version, found in numerous Chrysler systems since 1987 this V6 was a SOHC 12-valve developing 141 hp (105 kW) at 5000 rpm and 172 lb*ft (233 N*m) of torque at 3600 rpm. The Mitsubishi models are with a 3.0 Litre 6G72 system SOHC 24-valve developing 195 hp (145 kW) at 5000 rpm and 205 lb*ft (278 N*m) of torque at 4000 rpm.For the MIVEC system production try 201 kW (273 PS; 270 hp) at 6000 and 304 N*m (224 lbf*ft) at 4500.
The SOHC 12-valve for the 2nd generation of Pajero can provid 109kw and 235N*m,the SOHC 24-valve can provid 133kw and 255N*m.
The DOHC 24-Valve had been found in the Mitsubishi Debonair, 3000GT and Dodge Stealth making 222 horse power (166 kW) and 205 pound force-feet (278 N*m) of torque in naturally aspirated kind, so that as much as 320 horse power (240 kW) and 315 pound force-feet (427 N*m) of torque in turbocharged kind. Each lender associated with the V6 had a unique independent turbocharger and intercooler. Turbo chargers are built by Mitsubishi. These were water-cooled to make sure extended provider lives.
The 6G74 try a 3,497 cc 24-valve product offered with either SOHC, DOHC, or MIVEC DOHC. Bore was 93 mm and swing is 85.8 mm. Output for SOHC version varies from 139 kW (189 PS; 186 hp) at 4,750 rpm with 306 N*m (226 lbf*ft) of torque at 3,750 rpm inside Pajero to the highest output of 163 kW (222 PS; 219 hp) at 5,250 rpm with 317 N*m (234 lbf*ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm when you look at the Australian-made Magna activities, VR-X and Verada GTV/GTVi and 180 kW (240 PS; 240 hp) at 5,500 rpm with 333 N*m (246 lbf*ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm in Magna Ralliart. For MIVEC, only available in the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, the output are 194 kW (264 PS; 260 hp) at 6,000 and 324 N*m (239 lbf*ft) at 4,500 rpm. They utilizes MFI fuel injections and makes use of forged metallic connecting rods.
The gas direct injections version of the 6G74 was released in April 1997 due to the fact very first GDI V6 system ever before created. It differed through the standard 6G74 in many ways aside from their unique gas injections program --- they had a crown-curved without level burning chamber, upright intake harbors rather than angled, and a 10.4:1 as opposed to 10.0:1 compression proportion. Mitsubishi advertised 30 percent better fuel economic climate, a 30 percent decrease in emissions, and greater energy outputs than diesels.
The TF/KF series had been introduced in Summer 1997. Magna's range contains five models: manager, Advance, Altera, Altera LS and activities. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine is observed only when you look at the Executive. These cars offered redesigned wheel protects, speed-limit alarm and enhanced internal trims, which included cup holders. The administrator and Advance are identical in features nevertheless Advance have a new interior trim and is fitted as standard with airbags and ABS. The entire colour-coded Altera and Altera LS launched power house windows and lots of other available choices such twin front side airbags. Manual transmissions became best available on administrator, Advance, Solara and activities. From June to August 1998, a limited edition Solara ended up being introduced and it also included all Advance properties as standard, plus: alloy wheels, colour-coding, "Solara" badging from the rear doors and at the bottom right-hand region of the boot.
The Magna Sports ended up being available in just four tints: Paris White, Calypso Red, Nautilus azure (deep blue), and Frontier Green (deep green), the second two colour becoming not used to the TF series. This new-model held all standard top features of the manager design which it absolutely was based, plus a deck top spoiler, purple side strip, 16-inch alloy tires (just like the Verada Ei, but polished), and unique internal trims such a metal-style tool cluster fascia. Its V6 had been standard as on all Magnas, however, only the activities might be optioned with a manumatic recreations Mode four-speed automated transmission featuring for the first time on an Australian-built car, a manual moving function (via an extra transmission gate plane off to the right of standard gear roles, with "push-forward" upshifts and "push-back" downshifts). The recreations had improved dealing with traits thanks to the improvement of an 18 mm back swaybar (a rear club swaybar wasn't fitted to the conventional Magna), 11 per cent firmer backside springs, harder top control arm and trailing arm shrubs, and suspension height decreased by 10 mm. Choices included dual airbags and abdominal muscles. This unique design represented MMAL's foray in to the Australian sporty family members passenger automobile industry, including a preliminary and very long delinquent departure from the much more traditional Japanese items thinking. The recreations' manufacturing stopped after September 1998.
The 3.5-litre engine that driven the KF series Verada had been identical to that suited to the KE series. Their biggest modifications, like TF series Magna, included brand new wheel design and cabin trim, revised colours and a specification modification -- including an over-speed caution product, cupholders and standard double front side airbags.
Several newer tints (Cocoon White (pearl white), Astral Blue (metallic blue), Lugano Green (pearl blue/green) and Burra (pearl dark red/bronze)) are introduced through the subsequent production of the TF series and the last device built arrived on the scene in December 1998.
About 60,000 TF Magna's had been built and over 5,000 KF Verada's for Australian roadways.
The TH series was released in March 1999 with the first examples integrated December 1998. The cost of this upgrade (like Verada versions) achieved A million, which moved towards enhanced availability of the 3.5-litre V6 engine and a matching manual transmission in addition to requirements and trim changes over the number.
In the engine front, actually, considering slow product sales and growing consumer preference to get more effective machines, Magna's brought in four-cylinder ended up being dropped. Currently, the 3.0-litre V6 became standard and Verada's 3.5-litre engine also became a Magna choice. The 3.0-litre V6 was fitted only to the exec, while all the designs could be run on the previous Verada's 3.5-litre V6 (optional on manager).
Aesthetic adjustment included revisions to your standard build of vehicles, including a far more intense forward grille, redesigned rear, revised interiors, redesigned wheel protects and alloy tires. Ac was made standard throughout the range. Numerous colour changes also happened: Calypso Red is replaced with Sienna Red, while Sable Ebony pearl (pearl black with green flakes) took the place of Embassy gray. Riversand, a brand new strong beige metallic colour, has also been launched in April 1999 as had been Mawson light, a brighter most pure white (pictured right) and Pewter (metallic silver), which replaced Silverleaf. Area Blue and Glacier Green (aqua blue/green) had been two other latest tints applied to the TH but are unusual.
The TH and KH sets stated the honours to be the very first Australian-made automobile with a four-channel abdominal muscles featuring an Electronic Brake-force circulation (EBD) system---a Bosch 5.3 module. Another brand new crucial feature was an 8-function journey computer system and incorporated anti-theft home security system. The model number included: manager (handbook and automobile); Advance (handbook and auto); Altera LS (auto) and activities (guide and activities Mode automatic).
MMAL in addition became 1st Australian manufacturer to offer a traction control program labelled "TCL" (meaning, Trace Control Logic), that was switchable and in the beginning offered best on Magna activities. A finite version Solara is re-introduced later in 1999 plus the V6 Si in April 2000. Altera LS was discontinued at the conclusion of 1999, because of its closeness to the Verada Ei. The 1999 systems lacked V6 badges nevertheless the 2000 versions often featured these regarding the straight back lower right end associated with the boot lid. The very last TH series production between May and Summer 2000, had been 1000 Executive LS devices (automatic best), which were just like the stopped Altera LS but without power microsoft windows, twin airbags much less colour-coding (example. unpainted black colored mirrors).
A Magna Sports participated in the Australian GT manufacturing vehicles Championship, with differing success, driven by MMAL professional and privateer, Robert Chadwick. The vehicle featured forward minimal slip differential (LSD) later on brought to manufacturing regarding TJ series Magna Ralliart.
Solitary overhead camshaft (SOHC) try a design where one camshaft is placed in the cylinder mind. In an inline motor, what this means is there's one camshaft within the head, whilst in a motor with more than one cylinder head, such as a V engine or a horizontally-opposed engine (boxer; level motor) --- there are two camshafts: one per cylinder bank.
In SOHC design, the camshaft works the valves right, usually via a bucket tappet; or via an intermediary rocker arm. SOHC cylinder heads are inexpensive to manufacture than dual expense camshaft (DOHC) cylinder heads. Timing buckle replacement could be smoother since you can find less camshaft drive sprockets that have to be lined up during substitution treatment.
SOHC styles offer decreased difficulty compared to overhead valve design --- when utilized for multivalve cylinder minds, for which each cylinder possess significantly more than two valves. A good example of an SOHC design making use of shim and bucket device adjustment was the system installed in the Hillman Imp (four-cylinder, eight device); a small, early 1960s two-door saloon automobile (sedan) with a rear installed aluminium-alloy system in line with the Coventry Climax FWMA battle engines. Exhaust and inlet manifolds were both on a single side of the system block (thus not a crossflow cylinder head design). This performed, but offering exemplary use of the spark plugs. A more efficient crossflow, "hemi-head" set of roller chain-driven, single-overhead camshaft valvetrain cylinder heads when it comes to seven litre displacement American Ford FE V-8 system in 1964 managed to get in to the Cammer V8 motor, supposed to directly challenge the racing prominence regarding the seven litre displacement Chrysler "elephant" overhead valvetrain Hemi engine in early-1960s NASCAR competitors, but insufficient homologation the Ford "cammer" in United states stock car race triggered their usage nearly solely in NHRA pull racing competitors associated with sixties.
During the early 1980s, Toyota and Volkswagen Group in addition made use of a right actuated, SOHC synchronous device setup with two valves for every single cylinder. The Toyota program made use of hydraulic tappets, whilst the Volkswagen system used container tappets with shims for valve approval adjustment. Of all of the valvetrain systems, here is the minimum complex configuration feasible.
Utilizing the introduction associated with the TJ series in July 2000, Magna provided revised styling. The vehicle's overall form remained exactly like the previous TE to TH show, with the exception of an elevated central section for the bonnet ending with a beak splitting the leading grille, creating some journalists coin the term "bird of prey". Magna recreations additionally the brand new VR-X model featured the exact same one-unit turn-light/double parabolic headlights as Verada. At the back, the boot-lid featured a recessed centre area and new end light lenses with new-trend circular lit chambers. The expense of this upgrade was some A million.
Magna Advance sedan (TJ Series 2)
Magna manager 3.0-litre truck (TJ)
A unique new-chromed Mitsubishi badge was also launched, replacing the greater amount of old-fashioned purple triple diamonds. MMAL's proposition to make use of a black Mitsubishi badge to differentiate the Magna activities number is refused by Japan's traditional management. Another exterior change in the TJ show had been the replacement associated with chrome-look window surround with a more latest black colored fitting (Verada models maintained the greater luxurious chrome).
Several latest colours were introduced like an extremely brilliant area azure (aqua) and Glacier Green (green aqua, both utilized on some earlier TH show in 1999), that have been stopped after only a few period of manufacturing. In May 2001, a darker Pacific azure colour is introduced to displace the simply mentioned two tones and flame-red was also reintroduced into number, mostly given that hero colour when it comes to subsequent Ralliart model. Sapphire Blue and Daintree Green are included too and shown preferred. Gray and beige inside choices had been made available to any exterior colour in Executive/Advance, with gray usually the default, getting the only real choice regarding the show 2 provided their better purchases recognition. Equipment level increased inside TJ show with a driver's airbag and CD athlete now standard over the range.
The TJ series transported within the earlier 140 kW (188 hp) 3.0-litre V6 (6G72) when it comes to administrator models, which may now become enhanced utilizing the optional 150 kW (201 hp) 3.5-litre V6 (6G74), usually fitted to other models as traditional. This triggered Executive brands with a 3.0-litre engines being exceedingly uncommon and, eventually, dropped entirely in subsequent show.
Unlike 6G74-based system available in Japan, the Australian-built V6 still have 24 valves but utilized an individual overhead camshaft (SOHC) build as opposed to a more complex and expensive dual overhead cams (DOHC) build.
Activities and VR-X featured a larger 2.5-inch free flowing activities fatigue program, lesser adjustment towards the timing and duration of valve orifice (both inlet and exhaust), which boosted power up to 163 kW (219 hp), causing a moderately sporty exhaust tone and class-leading performance amongst Australian-made athletics sedans. Their particular engine was advertised as a "high result" product to differentiate it from the conventional 150 to 155 kW (201 to 208 hp) variation fitted on all the Magnas and Veradas.
At publish, the model range of the TJ and KJ show made up: the Magna manager, Magna Advance sedan and wagon, Magna Sports sedan, Magna VR-X sedan, Verada Ei sedan and truck, and Verada Xi sedan.
The Magna Sports featured complete outdoor color coding, six-spoke 16x6-inch alloy rims, enhanced suspension and swaybars and a deck top spoiler shared with the Magna VR-X. The mechanically comparable VR-X shared these features, but in addition had aggressively fashioned front side and back bumper spoiler extensions, wheel arch extensions, side skirts and enormous diameter round chrome fatigue tip. Inside, the Sports and VR-X in addition shared white tool group dials, recreations cloth seat trim and front seat backrests embroidered using the particular models' name. The automatic VR-X furthermore have a chrome gear gate passed down from Verada. The following and unusual Magna Sports truck (created just with the TJ show) ended up being installed with a full bodykit featuring silver accents, unlike the recreations sedan that presented just have a deck top spoiler.
Automated activities and VR-X (as well as Verada) brands were today fitted with a five-speed Sports Mode transmission with "TCL" grip controls system, making Mitsubishi the very first Australian maker to go beyond the then typical four-speeds. Meanwhile, manual transmissions had been dropped from wagons, which attained standard automated transmissions.
In October 2000, MMAL supplied a limited-run Magna Solara, which was in line with the Advance. Inside showcased a four-disc in-dash CD athlete, while externally it was distinguished by 15-inch "Manta" alloy wheels as traditional, two-tone paint finish and body-coloured outside mirrors, front grille and home part mouldings.
The TJ series was the subject of many rolling updates, from May 2001 spearheaded by an upgraded VR-X number, followed by that September 2001 affecting all systems including the Verada range (officially known as the MY02 show) and culminating aided by the TJ and KJ show 2 in July 2002. In 2002 and 2003, the TJ show was also bolstered because of the Magna Ralliart and by the Magna and Verada AWD range, correspondingly. Using the KJ Series 2 up-date, MMAL launched the limited-run Verada GTV, which used drivetrain the different parts of the Magna Sports and VR-X. This afterwards became a permanent model rebadged since the Verada GTVi from March 2003.
Total production of the TJ and KJ series as after 2001, reached 43,492 products with 19,215 shipped into the US, brand new Zealand, Puerto Rico and the Middle East (where Magna additionally ended up served as an Iraqi police patrol cars). The highest honor claimed by this series ended up being the Diamante's name of the latest Zealand's Car of the season for "most useful huge Car".
In 2001, a Magna TJ Sports won course D regarding the GT manufacturing Showroom Showdown Race at Bathurst and a V8-powered RWD Magna contested the V8 Future Touring lessons associated with the 2000--01 Australian Super Touring Championship. The Magna VR-X ended up being voted the best-value results automobile in the Australian market by a News restricted panel of motoring reporters.
With develop and wholesale between May and June 2001, this automobile was promoted whilst the "VRX-tra". They featured the aforementioned external improvements plus interior upgrades that have been part of a "Leather Pack" available in two areas. The optional "Pack 1" included:
Special black colored fabric/Howe fabric trim with "VR-X" embroidered front seats in a choice of blue or purple with matching door panels, dependent on external paint (i.e. blue with Pacific Blue, Sapphire Blue and Mawson White paint; purple with Sienna Red, Pewter and Sable (black colored))
Colour-coordinated tool group (blue or purple with "VR-X" inscribed rev countertop)
Two-tone black colored leather wrapped controls with perforated silver inserts (which later became an optional accessories for all brands)
Silver panels for center console
Verada-sourced accessories eg enhanced eight-speaker sound system with energy antenna and in-dash four-CD stacker plus enhanced journey computer with dual readout.
The optional "Pack 2" contains all "bring 1" properties and the Verada's electric sunroof with front side map and C-pillar lamps. In all, MMAL built 175 of the brands, which 54 were fitted with the five-speed automatic and a sunroof.
August 2001 inform
As part of this modify, formally referred to as TJ MY02 series, side impact bars formerly installed simply to export systems were furthermore launched for Australian markets cars, as well as the front side doorways now featured energy taking in material. The Magna government got abdominal muscles and power house windows as standard, although the Advance, Sports and VR-X are each fitted with a six speaker speakers (up from four), automated environment controls, front side map lights, glovebox lamp and power antenna. The Verada Xi's electric sunroof with front side map lamps and C pillar courtesy lights is today recommended on all models. The recreations ended up being further distanced from the VR-X by no further revealing the exact same boot top spoiler, but a smaller sized variation (which became another optional accessories across the Magna range, and is installed as traditional on subsequent limited-run brands, the Verada GTV and Diamante VR-X). Energy the standard (non "high production") 3.5-litre V6 motor risen up to 155 kilowatts (208 hp) thanks to a greater compression proportion and a Karman Vortex airflow meter. The instrument group today have a odometer and trip meter, instead of the past analogue setup. The above system power increase additionally interested the Verada number. Moreover, the Ei is now fitted with a new chrome grille, while both the Ei and Xi obtained newer design alloy-wheels and illuminated vanity mirrors. With this enhance all cars now had clear front turn bezels.
A limited-run Magna V6 Si, in line with the exec sedan, launched in September 2001. Its primary functions included by 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and energy house windows as traditional. Externally, it had the latest recreations' boot top and body-coloured grille, side mouldings, splash protectors, atmosphere dam and home mirrors.
Eventually, MMAL in addition introduced an additional and last 95 leather-based packages for VR-X, produced in November 2001.
In March 2002, MMAL also launched the limited-run Magna Commonwealth Games edition. On the basis of the administrator sedan, it was more designed with a forward traveler airbag, six-disc CD athlete, cruise control, floors mats and power antenna. Externally, it has 16-inch alloy tires, "Commonwealth Games" badging and body-coloured properties as on V6 Si.
