The Dramatic Rise and Fall Of Mitsubishi Motors

Mitsubishi won Dakar 12 times, dominated the WRC for 4 straight years, and built the world's first mass-produced electric car. So how did Nissan end up owning 34% of the company? From a 1870 shipping empire to the birth of the Lancer Evolution, this is the story of how Mitsubishi built some of the most beloved cars in history, the Starion, Pajero, Eclipse, 3000GT, and the legendary Evo, while quietly trading away its own independence deal by deal. Chrysler, Volvo, Hyundai, Proton, DaimlerChrysler. Then came the 0-0-0 financing disaster, a 27-year defect cover-up, and a 2016 scandal that finally handed Nissan control.
