It looks furious - it had better be fast.

Of course they will never build it in their current situation.

lol...it just oozes APC's old styling move

what was it called again, evolution or 3D?...forgot, but it was all those tails/bodykits that were ugly as hell

dunno, saw one on the road the other day...just not that impressed

-chris

 

looks awesome they did the right thing and added the boost but did they remember the AWD?

 

I kinda dig the styling actually. The exterior has a nice balance of clean yet aggressive. The interior needs a bit more flavor IMO... the color scheme makes it look kinda rentacar cheap. But I agree, it better have AWD and turbo as a Ralliart vehicle.

 

AWD or not id drive that

 

if they ever came out again witht eh AWD turbo version that would be sick. but the ass always takes it away for me. in the ugly ass regular version and this one too

 

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but that thing doesn't look that bad at all.

In fact I, <gulp > Kind of like it.

( Man, saying that was kind of like swallowing a loogie )

 

i actually like it and im not a big fan of the new eclipse's.....i like everything about it......but like it was said i hope its AWD

 

Definately has the look; the stance. If'n it got some hopowah, then hellyeah.

But isn't it a heavy pig that doesn't handle well?

Sure looks neat though.

 

Looks sweet!

If they build it, I will [censored].

ERRR I mean.

It's faster than an EVO, this is definetely the Eclipse they should of made 400HP and AWD:

Mitsubishi’s Cypress, Calif. design center conceived the Eclipse Ralliart to showcase the new coupe’s performance potential. Horsepower is up to an estimated 400, thanks to a modified 4G63 turbocharged four-cylinder transplanted from the Evo VIII. In a nod to Eclipses past, the car also gets the Lancer’s all-wheel-drive system. Other changes include carbon fiber exterior panels and clutch, 20-inch wheels, custom exhaust, coil-over suspension, Brembo brakes and a racing-inspired interior.

Wow.

Just...

wow.

 

that's kinda hot

 

this almost redeems the eclipse name!

 

I HATE the new Eclipse... but I kinda like that!

 

Word is it has a 400hp MR drivetrain?

The quote above backs up the 400 hp part. But since we can clearly see the hatch area in those pics, I'm betting it's not MR.

Ralliart doesn't mean AWD, look at the Lancer.

 

too bad it will never happen why do you think the eclipse is offered as a v-sux anyways. evo's sell for 32,000-42,000+ otd eclipse is alot less. why would mitsu a struggling company sell a car better than their #1 moneymaker for a lesser price?? it's just dumb. will there probably be a rallyart eclipse. i'm sure but it's not gonna compare to that concept. look what happened to the eclipse e-concept

Thanks for clearing that up Erik.

Oh.

But wasn't the FQ400 (the 400-hp model of the Evo MR) generallyed panned as being the peakiest, most useless power curve ever put onto a street vehicle?

 

I like it, but also agree that it'll probably never come with the 4G63.
