The Mitsubishi Kaminari concept is a game-changer for electric vehicles that can handle any terrain. Named “Kaminari,” meaning “thunder” in Japanese, this concept embodies power and ruggedness. Its design pays tribute to classic Mitsubishi models like the 1937 PX33, Japan’s first all-road car, blending heritage with innovation to evolve Mitsubishi’s legacy.
Designer Stefan Syarov calls the Kaminari a PUV—Performance Utility Vehicle. His goal was to push off-road performance limits while honoring Mitsubishi’s past. The Kaminari draws from the brand’s off-road racing heritage, feeling both traditional and modern.
The Kaminari’s silhouette stands out with a sloped A-pillar leading to a sleek roofline. A rear wing integrated into the roof adds flair without sacrificing headroom. The design process involved meticulous refinement, collaborating closely with the Mitsubishi team to maintain functional elements and incorporate design cues from Mitsubishi’s off-road history.
Collaboration was crucial in the Kaminari’s development. Syarov sought feedback from Mitsubishi enthusiasts worldwide, creating a concept reflecting the brand’s vision and fanbase desires. While not an official Mitsubishi concept, the Kaminari envisions a future where Mitsubishi vehicles dominate any surface.
