The 2004 facelift quietly gave Australia's Verada larger "US-spec" bumpers — a transpacific engineering footnote on a car most Australians assumed was built purely for their own roads.
The 2003 Magna TL's redesign cost over A$70 million — and A$2 million of that went to its new headlights alone.
The Magna Ralliart's steering wheel was the standard Magna item underneath — but it was sent to Italy to be leather-wrapped in black and red by MOMO.
This Quadtec-badged Magna made local history — it was the first mass-built all-wheel-drive passenger car ever built in Australia, after a AU$10 million development program.
A humble family Magna went racing: in 2001 a Magna TJ Sports won its class at Bathurst, while a V8-powered rear-drive Magna separately ran in Australia's Super Touring championship.
Mitsubishi's VR-X made its extra power with barely any engine changes — just valve timing tweaks and a free-flowing exhaust, enough for class-leading pace among Australian sport sedans.
The TH Magna quietly set an Australian first: the first locally-built car with four-channel ABS and electronic brake-force distribution.
The TF Magna Sports was the first Australian-built car ever to offer a manual-shifting Tiptronic automatic — push forward to upshift, pull back to downshift.
A mid-90s family sedan still holds the record: the TE Magna's 0.28 drag coefficient beats every Commodore and Falcon Australia ever built, decades later included.
Every Magna/Verada wagon sold anywhere in the world under the Diamante or Sigma badge was built in Australia — for years, Australia was the only source on the planet.
Mitsubishi built exactly 1,000 Magna TP Grand Tourers in 1990 — split with almost comic precision into 500 white, 250 burgundy and 250 "Riviera Blue."
The TN wagon wasn't a global platform afterthought — Mitsubishi's Australian arm engineered and built it entirely Down Under, broadening the Magna's appeal from day one.
To satisfy Australians' taste for bigger cars, Mitsubishi literally sliced open the Japanese Galant and spliced in an extra 65mm of width to create the Magna.
