Mitsubishi Concept RA
So here it is. I think I'm underwhelmed...altho underhood is alright: 201 bhp and 301 lb-ft of torque coming out of a 2.2L MIVEC turbo-diesel inline 4. It also uses the SAWC (aka Super-All Wheel Control) systems found on the 2008 Evo. I suppose finding out how heavy this thing is will determine how it is received by everyone.

This is just for a buddy of mine who hasn't seen the drawings...since I rarely like posting concept drawings of cars. Anyhow, this the Concept RA set to debut at the Detroit Motor Show this year. Clearly it reeks of Eclipse like lines, with a return emphasis on a more aggressive stance than the rather toned-down look of the current model. The concept shares many parts with the Evo drivetrain - being a auto-manual affair and all. What about that engine? Yes, the thing is turbo'd. Under the hood resides a 4 cylinder turbo diesel to be exact. This car is being touted as a green car...so better emissions and better mileage, with just enough oomph to make it sporty...sounds very Honda-like. >=)
