With a name as awesome as Barbarian Black, we’d expect this Europe-only special-edition Mitsubishi L200 to be a little more Ford Raptor-like. Unfortunately, the coolest part of this special edition is its name.
What makes this L200 “special” is all the black. Black 17-inch wheels, black roof, black side steps, black side-mirror caps, black grille, black filler cap, black rear bar, and Black Barbarian decals; it also comes with a new, embossed leather design for the seats. This makes for a mean look, but not much else.
Powered by a 176-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder diesel, this truck doesn’t have quite the muscle to back up its intimidating outer shell. At last, a Euro-only special edition we aren’t grumbling about not getting stateside.
