Mitsubishi Outlander on Bolivia’s Death Road
Mitsubishi keeps upping the ante on their marketing material but like most marketing efforts it may be high on drama, hype and technology it doesn’t necessarily translate into excitement about their performance. Sorry Mitsubishi, we miss you in motorsport. WRC > Road of Death.
Nevertheless, almost 200 people die on this stretch of wide trail from La Paz to Coroico, Bolivia every year. Mitsubishi documented their run with a 360 degree spherical camera that you can play with on their website.
Very cool but I have to compare it to Top Gear’s Bolivia run and I’m left wanting more… like James with a machete.
