    1998 Super Legnum VR4

    selling cheap due to its condition

    ive seen them on trademe for 5 to 7k

    hopefully everyone knows about the supers extras:

    this is off the chat board on facebook
    Second Special Edition – Super VR-4 – middle of 1998
    These were a limited run of approximately 500-800 VR-4’s to simply get rid of the old prefacelift chassis for the introduction of the facelift models due in August 1998. They were only available in two colours, Redma, a bright red and Hamilton Silver. Both these colours were standard prefacelift colours. The Super VR-4’s were all Type S’s and as such were rated at 191kw, 343nm. There are a number of exterior and interior features unique to the Super VR-4 which make spotting them very easy. For the interior they were the only prefacelifts to come standard with Recaro seats for the driver and front passenger as well as the 3 spoke Momo steering wheel that was standard on some FTO models and Evolution 4 through 6. These would become options for the facelift models. The door cards and rear seats were black with a red fleck pattern on them to match the Recaro seats. The exact same colours were standard on early Facelifts. The gear shift cover plate was coloured silver, this became standard on facelifts too. Lastly the centre console came in a yellow/grey carbon fibre imitation weave, all other prefacelifts had a plastic wood grain centre console. The completely unique features to the interior were the red floor carpet with matching red and black floor mats, red leather on the gear stick and hand brake lever and finally the numbering on the Tachometer and Speedometer had a purple ring around their arc. Externally the chassis was the same but there was a new body kit consisting of Canards on the front bumper, much larger side skirts and rear skirt. All of these parts were black in colour, contrasting with the primary body colour. The rear wing on Legnum Super VR-4’s was body coloured and stood up in the airflow above the roofline it also had a separate section underneath making it a bi-plane wing. The Galant Super VR-4’s came with a large wing resembling the wing on Evolution 5’s. The sides and base of the Galant wing were body coloured but the large centre section and middle divider were black. Legnum Super VR-4’s have the centre section of the tailgate where Legnum is written in silver (the brochures refer to it as Titanium). The inside of the headlights were body coloured on both Red and Silver Super VR-4’s. Lastly the tip of the exhaust was changed to a circular tip with the Ralliart emblem on it. No Super was available with a moonroof or sunroof (Legnum and Galant respectively), or MMCS. The Supers all came with the standard Enkei 5 spoke wheels.

    Interesting, my old super did not have an entirely red handbrake assembly, in fact it was predominantly black. I wonder if there was a super change at some point?

    There must be somebody wanting to throw some love in this Legnums' direction.
    It's a SUPER!
    If it was in the UK, I'd have snapped this up.

    if you decide to part it, keen on the side skirts, maybe the complete kit if the price is right.
