Yup - thats what the VR4 stands for. Not the catchiest phrase you'll ever hear, but it does make for a good trivia question.

Why the 4? is it for 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive? I'd kinda think it'd be 6 for 6 cylinders....
That's kind of a cool name though, but yeah not something you'd go walking around and saying "I drive a Vicious Real-Time 4" (I don't... just an example) or even better I drive a "Vicious Real-Time 4 Spyder"

i am pretty sure that the "viscous real time four" thing is just a best guess by a lot of people. from what i have heard, no body seems to REALLY know, not even some people at mitsu headquarters that were asked.
GTO stands for gran turismo omologato which is an italian term for grand turing and then some other word that i have no idea about. by extension of that, the GT stands for grans turismo or grand tourer. i agree that the 3000 probably stands for 3000 ml on a side note, SL stands for sport luxury, base stands for base lol, RT/TT stands for road and track twin turbo i believe (RT obviously stands for road and track if the previous is true) and for the ever so rare 3000 GT MR, the MR stands for mitsubishi racing (those things run like 12.5 sec 1/4 miles stock  )

Re: What dose VR-4 mean????
in a nutshell (someone correct me if i'm wrong anywhere) its just an awd differentail with two sets of plates (one set to each output shaft) and a "Viscous" liquid in between. when drivin normally the plates and viscous liquid spin at the same time but when one set starts to loose traction or slip the set of plates connected to the set loosing traction spins faster than the other and the viscous liquid in between spins faster and causes the other set of wheels to try to catch up resulting in more torque to the non slipping wheels and thats why they call it a viscous coupling differental
 . hope i said it clear enuff, kind of hard to explain. and ikOnone, i'm pretty sure it stands for Viscous Real time 4 for the differential type and 4 wheel drive

Re: What dose VR-4 mean????
that works too, so is it definite that SL stands for Sport Luxury?
