The 2000 GSR is the top Celeste, sold from 1977 to 1981 after the 2.0-liter Astron engine joined the range. Its 1,995 cc four-cylinder gave more output than the 1600 GT, with European versions rated around 90 to 105 PS, and the GSR badge marked the sporting trim.

STORY

The Lancer Celeste was a rear-drive three-door hatchback coupe built on Lancer underpinnings and introduced in February 1975. Mitsubishi sold it as the Celeste, Britain saw it as the Colt Celeste, Australia as the Chrysler Lancer Hatchback, the United States as the Plymouth Arrow and Canada as the Dodge Arrow. The first cars had 1.4 and 1.6-litre fours, a 2.0 followed, and in 1979 and 1980 the US Fire Arrow carried a 2.6-litre four rated at 105 hp. Production ended in 1981, and the front-drive Cordia took over its place in early 1982.
