Watch A Pajero Duel A CR-V On Track!
The track battle you never saw coming
By Imthishan Giado
Quick, what’s the least likely car you’d think about seeing on a track? If the answer was a Mitsubishi Pajero give yourself a pat on the back…and then prepare to watch agape in horror at this old gem.
Yes, the mad men and race car drivers of Best Motoring have put the humble Pajero on track in an actual race against a Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-7, Mitsubishi Pajero V6, Toyota Harrier Hybrid (or Lexus RX300 as we know it) and just for giggles, threw in a 450bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo which is so much quicker than the other cars that it has to start half a lap (and half the track!) behind the others. Spoiler alert – it does rather well. And by the way, this isn’t some hot-shit Pajero Evolution either
Skip to 3:30 for the beginning of the actual race.
