Eclipse with the Ralliart Treatment: All Wheel Drive, 400 bhp

Ralliart is the motorsports arm of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. Worldwide, Ralliart vehicles feature enhanced performance, specialty equipment and sporty styling elements that include more powerful engines, sport-tuned suspensions as well as special fascia and styling cues. The best-selling import coupe for the past 15 years, Eclipse was redesigned for 2006 - and Mitsubishi design engineers wasted no time giving Eclipse the Ralliart treatment.

"To be considered Ralliart, a vehicle must offer improved engine performance and handling, sportier styling, interior enhancements and bold paint," explained Dan Sims, general manager of MMNA's design center. "The Eclipse Ralliart concept passes that test with flying colors."

Special attention was paid to increasing horsepower and torque, adding all-wheel drive capability for improved power in a variety of driving conditions while minimizing weight. To boost horsepower to an estimated 400 bhp, a turbocharged 4G63 engine was borrowed from the Lancer Evolution and supplemented with a custom air intake and other HKS performance parts. The concept Eclipse's rally prowess is enhanced with the all-wheel drive system currently available on the Endeavor and Lancer Evolution as well as a six-speed manual transmission. Lightweight carbon fiber was used extensively in the roof, hood, fascias and front fenders.

The custom exterior is enhanced by Hot Red Mica paint, specially formulated by PPG for this concept. The Eclipse Ralliart rides on 20-inch high-performance carbon fiber wheels with AVS Sport Yokohama tires. Interior enhancements include Recaro performance seats trimmed with leather and Alcanterra suede, four-point restraints, racing gauges and a Rockford Fosgate premium sound system.

BUILD IT MITSUBISHI!!! BUILD IT!!! THIS IS THE WAY TO BRING THE ECLIPSE BACK TO IT'S ROOTS!!!

This looks great. And the power ouput is shocking. My jaw would drop if this car were put into production with that kind of power and with it's current appearance. Amazing.

Kdawg207 · 11-02-2005, 03:04 PM

Rich · 11-02-2005, 03:07 PM

wow 20 inch rims stock. (i know there not the first to do it) man 400hp with the EVO engine and AWD. this thing is a monster. then theres the big 4g63 aftermarket...... though its probably kind of heavy. it doesnt look too bad. any idea on price?

Vintalage · 11-02-2005, 04:55 PM

I HATE the mirror placement on that car. I can't stand that.

2003SCT · 11-09-2005, 01:51 PM

Yeah...the 4G63 would make the new one a real Eclipse....the only problem is that it would be overlapping the Evo in the marketplace....that will be prob. why it wont happen
