High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) debuted in 1969 as the flagship hardtop variant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's then-new Colt Galant sedan. The Colt Galant GTO exterior was penned by Hiroaki Kamisago, who had previously been sent by Mitsubishi to study at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, it incorporated many stylistic cues from contemporary American muscle cars like the Mustang, Firebird and Cougar, including a long hood, raised cut-off ducktail rear, and rounded quad-headlamps and tail- lamps. It was also the first Japanese passenger car to have full, roll down, side windows and a pillarless design. Mitsubishi Racing Development (AKA Colt Speed) intended the Colt Galant GTO to compete in the prestigious JCCA Grand Prix circuit.

Nevertheless, GTO's were successful in Rallying, including the famous Japanese Alpine Rally.
