Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
The Diamante arrived in May 1990. Mitsubishi links its timing to the 1989 tax reforms, which opened a commercial opportunity for larger cars. This profile follows the Japanese 25V catalogue entry, rather than applying every feature advertised for the wider Diamante range.
Look a little closer.
Diamante and the related Sigma shared the 1990–1991 Car of the Year Japan award.

Room for a wider car
Tax rules can influence a car’s size as much as engineering can. Mitsubishi describes the 1989 reforms as an opening for its wide-body 2.5-litre luxury model. That history explains the positioning; it does not establish a particular buyer’s tax bill.

Mitsubishi’s retrospective highlights Active Two and traction-control technology. GAZOO’s exact 25V entry leaves several safety-equipment fields blank. A blank is not proof of absence, so those systems are neither promised nor denied for this grade without a period grade brochure.
