最後 – Shadow Pro Mitsubishi Pajero V97
年初傳出三菱打算26年將Pajero復活，年中又有獨立汽車設計師Enoch Gonzales的幻想圖，不說以為廠方已經官宣。然而在十劃未有一撇的情況下，想擁有全新的Pajero(不是Pajero Sport)的話似乎只能在模型世界中尋找，例如GCD姊妹品牌Shadow Pro就推出了編號V97的1/64三菱Pajero模型車，而且難得是右軚，吸引力又大一點。
V97是第四代Pajero(2006-2021)的後期改款車型，搭載3.8L V6 MIVEC 6G75汽油引擎，馬力250ps/6,000rpm，扭力329Nm/2,750rpm，配合INVECS-II五速自動波和Super Select II四輪系統，提供2H、4H、4HLc和4LLc四種驅動模式，搭配後差速器，提供硬派四驅車應有的越野性能。車身特點則有側開尾門設計、梯形鬼面罩，以及LED日行燈等。同時亦為這個長達39年的車系劃上句號。
較GCD的橙色，Shadow Pro則以黑色配橙色包裝盒示人，半開窗式、吸塑、底座沒螺絲等設計承繼下來。Shadow Pro三菱Pajero一如預期採用轉向設計，浮雕車底可以喉管走向，但亦因而無法鬆開螺絲欣賞車櫳，從天窗可以中控台有波棍及差速鎖控制。車身方面，白色油上色均勻，然而輪拱、車門等位置較有上色不足導致的「黑邊」，至於腳踏、車頂行李架採用銀色件，賣相討好。而最好的應是車尾實體車尾後備軚，大燈、霧燈、尾燈均有膠件，可見誠意。未來會否有新三菱Pajero，應該一半一半。
Final Evolution – Shadow Pro Mitsubishi Pajero V97
Earlier this year, rumors circulated about Mitsubishi’s plans to revive the Pajero in 2026, followed by concept renderings from independent automotive designer Enoch Gonzales mid-year, which could have been mistaken for official announcements. However, with plans still uncertain, those wanting a new Pajero (not the Pajero Sport) might have to look to the world of scale models. GCD’s sister brand Shadow Pro has released a 1/64 Pajero V97 model, notably in right-hand drive configuration, making it particularly appealing.
The V97 represents the late-model variant of the fourth-generation Pajero (2006-2021), powered by a 3.8L V6 MIVEC 6G75 gasoline engine producing 250ps at 6,000rpm and 329Nm of torque at 2,750rpm. It features an INVECS-II five-speed automatic transmission and the Super Select II four-wheel drive system. The system offers four driving modes – 2H, 4H, 4HLc, and 4LLc – with a rear differential lock, demonstrating true off-road capability. Distinctive features include the side-opening rear door, trapezoidal grille, and LED daytime running lights. This model marked the end of the legendary 39-year series.
Unlike GCD’s orange packaging, Shadow Pro opts for a black and orange box design, maintaining the half-window display, vacuum-formed packaging, and screwless base design. The model features working steering, detailed undercarriage with visible exhaust routing, though internal access is limited. Through the sunroof, one can spot the gear shifter and differential lock controls in the center console. The white paint finish is generally uniform, though some “black edges” are visible around the wheel arches and doors. Silver-finished running boards and roof rack enhance the overall appearance. The rear treatment is particularly impressive, featuring a physical spare tire and detailed clear parts for headlights, fog lights, and taillights. As for whether a new Pajero will emerge in the future, that remains uncertain.
