Fujimi Mitsubishi FTO GS 1/24 Scale

The Mitsubishi FTO, short for Fresh Touring Origination, was a car produced by Mitsubishi Motors for the Japanese domestic market from 1994 to 2000. Announced in October 1994, the car was only made at the Mizushima plant and sold in Japan, though the tide of grey-market imports to the UK and Australia led to some limited distribution through Mitsubishi dealers in those countries.

All FTOs were front wheel drive, with either a straight-4 or a transversely mounted V6 engine. The only body style was a 2-door coupe. The front bumper was changed in 1997, but the rest of the body remained the same.
