The cam changeover occurs at 5,500 rpm, this results in maximum power jumping from 170 bhp (GR engine) to 197bhp, as well as that the rev limit is increased, making engine speeds of 8,500 rpm attainable. | Topping the FTO model range was the MIVEC engined GPX model, Whilst the GPX shared the same 2.0 V6 engine with the GR, in GPX guise the engine is fitted with Mitsubishi's MIVEC system which varies the timing, lift and duration of the valves using two different camshaft profiles.

Generations
First Generation
October 1994 to August 1997
Second Generation
August 1997 to July 2001
Cars built after August 1997 are regarded as facelift models, although the only exterior change was to the front bumper, which gained a larger air intake, deeper front splitter and restyled housings for the supplementary lights.[6]
The facelift also brought the GP Version R. This model featured HID headlamps, blue or red front seats, uprated suspension, limited slip differential,and a different rear spoier in addition to the GPX specification. As this model was to be light weight, items such as side skirts, front fog lights, climate control, electric folding mirrors and sound insulation were left out.

Awards
In commemoration of its win at the Car of the Year Japan awards in 1994, Mitsubishi introduced a limited production of the GPX Limited Edition model. It can be indentified by its dandelion yellow paint scheme and "'94–95 Japan Car of the Year" emblems on the outer surface of the car's C-pillar. It also has a rear screen wiper and limited slip differential as standard. Less than 500 of these are believed to have been produced.
