I was looking through a Australian mag today (motor) and they had this small article on a mirage, though someone(mitsu or ralliart), put all evo running gear on it...like 4g63t, 4wd and all those gizmos...
does anyone know anythign more about the car....they said its a hint of there future rallying car.. i.e new colt
0-100 said to be 4.1secs, red mirage

 

That was a German Ralliart tuned Mirage. You can do a search to find that in the forum since I can remember where the thread is.

That was a previous gen Mirage Colt Hatchback model with the AWD and 4G63 motors...

 

i'm not sure about the mirage but the was a european application of the 4g63t in the eclipse, that was also 4wd. the car was sold that way. it came with about 220 hp. i think they called it the cyclone engine. it also had other applications in stock galants, in europe as well i think.

 

If my memory serves me correctly, the Eclipse was sold only in the US.

 

I thought the US GSX had 220bhp?

 

well i am sorry if i was incorrect about some of the info. i was only trying to say that the 4g63 platform has been used in other applications. i guess i need to do some more research. sorry

 

Nevermind, no need to be sorry.

I specifically remember the car that Dru_555 mentioned (at least I think that's the one) is a FWD Mirage Colt. The Ralliart German division put the AWD drivetrain (with tons of body modifications) and the 4G63 turbo engine in it. However, that was the EVO IV-VII 4G63.

The Cyclone 4G63 was the EVO I-III version, which the Cyclone system was NOT available in the US DSM and Galant.

 

I think this is the thread about the car:

That car looks killer!!!

I would take one of those over an EVO anyday!

 

If you have the entire Ralliart German devision backing you up, nothing is impossible

 

That thing is off tha hook. First time ive seen one of these. Sure beats the Honda hatch ...
