LAS VEGAS — Mitsubishi Motors is looking to secure its place among the top brands at the 2005 SEMA show with seven vehicles, including this Eclipse Ralliart concept to be unveiled Tuesday.
Company officials have been working to keep details of the vehicle under wraps until the 1 p.m. debut at the show, but did say the car will come with a high-performance drivetrain along with a killer exterior design forged at the company's design studio in Cypress, California.
Other vehicles at the show will include two versions of the 2006 Raider, including an off-road rally version as well as a street version of the Dodge Dakota-based pickup.
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.
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
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.
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

well if they made it and there was an aftermarket rear bumper that didn't look like that i would consider it. but then again it doesn't matter since i have no job lmao!
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.
