Despite the presence of Tetsuya Watari, gunfights, and a gull-winged Japanese sports coupe, this is not Seibu Keisatsu. Mitsubishi fans, rejoice! It’s Guerrilla: Tokyo Police Group 8, starring Watari-san (who played our beloved Sgt. Daimon in Seibu), a Mitsubishi Starion 2600GSR-VR, Pajero, and a Debonair V 3000 Royal AMG. That’s right, kiddos, a Debonair AMG. As police car. If they could somehow work Giga Pudding into the equation Kev could die a happy man.
Guerrilla followed the adventures of a covert division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. Called Group 8, the elite squad specialized in the atrocious crimes regular cops couldn’t touch, with each member carrying a licenses to kill.
With Nissan, Toyota and Mazda grabbing all the prime sponsorship slots in other cop shows, Mitsubishi had to step up their game. They offered up a slew of cars for use in the series (but not shown in the opening credits), including a Galant VR-4, Mirage 1600 Cyborg with double sunroof, Minica 550, and an Eclipse GS Turbo that also, inexplicably, sprouted gull-wing doors.
Sadly for Mitsubishi, Guerrilla was a ratings flop, and while 46 episodes were made, it only lasted from 1989-90.
Thanks again to cesariojpn!
OMG THAT Mitsubishi Starion 2600GSR-VR is awsome! It looks so natural as a Gullwing!
I guess this means we’ll see a gullwing Arrow in the near future
Gull-wing Eclipse? May I add: this came out before Fast and the Furious!
JDM TyTe y0!!!111!1!!one!
I thought the Eclipse was only made for the LHD market (USDM), but I found this page showing the Eclipse indeed made it to the series:

But judging from the raised dash on the left side it appears like it is a LHD car…
banpei, the link is interesting given the second OP intro:
In this intro, we have a RED Eclipse, while the promo material has a BLACK Eclipse.
Ben, How did you know?
I was thinking of calling it the Winged-Arrow 
No really I scrambling to get it Smoged and legal for JCCS.. I would hate to run into your friend you met on the way to the Toyota Show at the Queen Mary….
Ah, my friend…. yes. With friends like that who needs enemies.
