The MPR12 was the final and most advanced version of the Pajero/Montero rally-raid vehicle, used by Mitsubishi at the 2006 Dakar, featuring improvements in suspension, weight distribution, and reliability compared to the MPR10 and MPR11. In 2006, it achieved victory at the Dakar with Luc Alphand and Gilles Picard (Mitsubishi Ralliart), consolidating the Japanese brand's historic streak of seven consecutive wins in the race. This model was reproduced by Tecnitoys in their model 6225.
