Mitsubishi really hit its stride with the Diamond Star Motors partnership, and this variation of the Eclipse was also sold as the Plymouth Laser. The second generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse was notable for its stylish exterior and a groundbreaking interior that was far more luxurious than you would expect coming out of a compact sports car.
Finding a GST in good condition is a real find, and one of the most notable models. Although Mitsubishi is smaller than most of the automakers in terms of market share, the company has continued to improve on the various performance models for the past few decades, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T introduced the world to the very first convertible model to carry the Eclipse name.
Arguably one of the most underrated sports cars of all time, the Mitsubishi GT VR4 is a far cry from the every popular Toyota Supra that's dominated the auction blocks over the last decade. The Mitsubishi GT VR4 introduced the world to the one of a kind sports car that dominated Mitsubishi showrooms for most of the decade, and the car is still fun to drive to this day. When the final generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse hit the market in , the model was a complete change from the previous generations, with an all-new exterior style that was both modern and completely updated.
This car was an all-new vehicle in every sense of the word, and in the long run, this was one of the most underrated sports cars on the market at the time. Still, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is an exciting car and one that you can find for a very affordable price and still have a boatload of fun driving.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse GT hit the scene too much fanfare, in-fact the car was one of the most popular models in the auto show circuit at the time. Available in the trademark orange paint job this was one of the most fun to drive eclipse models around, and to this day still remains one of the rarest and most fun to drive models that you can get. While many automotive enthusiasts comparing the Toyota Supra and the Nissan ZX there is constantly a forgotten vehicle, and that is the GT.
The Mitsubishi GT VR-4 added a plethora of new options that gave the car even more power and performance while building on the legendary brand image. Finding one of these cars is extremely rare but if you can you are in for a real treat. Wagon models are never a big seller for Mitsubishi but the brand knows how to do them right, and this might be where the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart comes in.
Offering a unique style that's all it's own, this is a one of a kind car that never really got the credit that it deserved. Offering a naturally aspirated engine that could take the car around twists and turns with the east, the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart is a pretty rare and fun to drive wagon that will leave a smile on your face.
When it comes to the final generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer, the model was never really a big seller for the company, but there were quite a few limited edition models that offered a good deal of performance and style. The Ralliart brand, in general, has always added a good deal of pizazz to an otherwise bland model, and this is what has made the Lancer of this generation one of the more memorable models to come around. The Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart has a special place in the history of Mitsubishi.
Perhaps one of the rarest cars around, the Mitsubishi GT Spyder VR-4 is a completely different car altogether. With a beautiful hard convertible top, this was one of the most expensive and beautiful convertibles that you could get at the time, and the Mitsubishi GT Spyder VR-4 is still a very rare model to date.
Finding one of these increasing rare models is going to set you back a pretty penny but with the twin turbochargers and the manual transmission, this is one of the fastest sports cars available. To boost horsepower to an estimated hp, a turbocharged 4G63 engine was borrowed from the Lancer Evolution and supplemented with a custom air intake and other HKS performance parts.
Lightweight carbon fiber was used extensively in the roof, hood, fascias and front fenders. Interior enhancements include Recaro performance seats trimmed with leather and Alcanterra suede, four-point restraints, racing gauges and a Rockford Fosgate premium sound system. The semi HB and the body style of the eclipse really stands out. Stuart - you say you work for Mitsubishi - Is there any other information you can give us at this time regarding the production possibilities for this car?
Stuart - you say you work for Mitsubishi - is there any other info you can give us I dont see the point of having 20" wheels thank GOD they are not chrome, 18" or 19" wheels would drive better and look a nicer, and please make sure you can get this car in BLACK without a spoiler, other than that i buy one over the evo X this car looks like it can take more handling and abuse than a sedan. This car completely overshadows and betters the Skyline GT-R concept, which was a styling disappointment.
I really wish Mitsu would just hurry up and produce this thing. Imagine our surprise then, when we first toed into the Ralliart's throttle and it responded right now! In fact, the reaction is almost too quick—the average Camry driver would likely provoke the Gallant into a full-blown tire-spinning, traction-control-inducing launch—but once you respect the throttle, it's a good thing.
Hey, this sedan feels pretty strong, too, and, in fact, it is quick. At the track, we blasted to 60 mph in 6. This wasn't a total surprise, however, as the Ralliart is powered by a hp version of the 3. The nearly pound Ralliart is a bit of a brute, though, outweighing that comparo-winning Accord by almost pounds. Despite packing more pounds than an Eclipse GT and available only with a five-speed automatic instead of the Eclipse's five-speed manual , the Ralliart ties the last Eclipse we tested in the sprint to 60 mph.
We actually liked this meaty V-6 better in the Ralliart than in the Eclipse, crediting the Galant's extra mass and automatic transmission with alleviating some of the vicious torque steer the Eclipse GT is known for. But that unnerving steering-wheel tugging is still noticeable during aggressive acceleration in the Galant, which is pretty much the only way we drive. And accelerating after happening to stop with one of the front tires in gravel produces enough squealing wheelspin to attract gawkers.
