About the Mitsubishi Shogun Mk2
The second-generation Mitsubishi Shogun, known globally as the Pajero, solidified the brand's reputation for off-road dominance during the 1990s. This Mk2 iteration introduced the innovative Super Select 4WD system, allowing drivers to switch between two- and four-wheel drive at speeds up to 62 mph. The 2.8-litre 4M40 turbodiesel engine, introduced in 1993, provided a significant torque boost over the earlier 2.5-litre unit, making it a favourite for towing and serious expeditions. Its blend of mechanical robustness, boxy 'blister fender' styling, and genuine Dakar-winning pedigree has made it a sought-after modern classic for enthusiasts.
