The car Jackie drives.


What kind of car is the one that he drives? its the black one with turbo written on the side. He leaves it in the tunnel with the bomb.

It's a 5th generation Mitsubishi Galant. My first guess was that it was a 1st gen. Mitsubishi Magna (which is based on the Galant), however those were only made in Australia and never came with a turbo.

EDIT: I was wrong. The black car he drives at the beginning was the Galant, the one he drives at the end with the bomb is a 2nd gen. Mitsubishi Mirage. It would appear that Mitsubishi got their money's worth in product placement with this movie!

Thank you.

If you live in the UK you will find this car advertised as a Mitsubishi Colt

Wah Gwarn?

As an Australian (like the OP) I can say quiet categorically it was also called the Mitsubishi Colt here, just as it was there in the UK. Perhaps it may have been called a Mirage in Hong Kong though. However a short lived vehicle came along later (in the 1990s) called the Mirage, after the Colt had disappeared from the Australian market. Also that first large car that was called a Magna in Australia was different to the Mitsubishi Gallant we had which was a popular mid sized rally vehicle. I believe that Gallant may have existed in the UK as well.
