Mitsubishi Ralliart Eclipse Concept @ 2005 SEMA

Mitsubishi Ralliart Eclipse Concept @ 2005 SEMA

I know it's NOT a lancer, but check out what it has under the hood...



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.

im not gonna lie...it doesnt seem that bad, i like the redone front end although i dont really prefer the two tone look, i wonder what changes theyve done to the engine and how much itll cost...they shouldve made this car a powerful rwd car though, it wouldve been a great ying to the evo's yang

Awesome.

Looks more like the Eclipse Evo MR to me.

Evo motor, seats, steering wheel, shifter knob, rims and even the wing looks like a curved Evo wing.

Still, I like it. It looks good.

Ralliart USA? That's the best news I've heard in a long time! Finally I won't have to look longingly at the Ralliart PDF catalog and wish I could read Japanese.

Eclipse Evolution.... I kind of like the sound of that. That looks pretty good.

Mitsu could use a mid level turbo.

For example, their Impreza line. The base model, 2.5i is on level with the Lancer Ralliart. Then the WRX, a 230hp turbo for about $25000, and the STi 300hp. For Mitsu owners though, there's not much in between the Lancer and Evo. Even the MIVEC Eclipse has the same specs as the Ralliart. So an Eclipse Ralliart turbo AWD for the same price of the WRX would be great for people that want more power than a Lancer RA and can't afford an Evo.

agreed.

Its much nicer than the Ralliart version of the lancer, with alot more done to it. Although the front end looks too much like the new concept, well accually all the concepts. I'm assuming it is awd then correct?
