Adrian Paton2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse (Nth America)
February 4th 2008 10:30
While we are lucky to get the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series here in Australia, we do miss out on another sports car from the Japanese manufacturer that the North Americans get and that is the Eclipse range.
The sporty coupe is popular with car enthusiasts and aftermarket tuners and Mitsubishi has just released some images of the 2009 face-lifted Eclipse a week out from its official unveiling at the Chicago Auto Show.
The mid-life makeover gives the Eclipse a heavily revised front-end that mirrors the Lancer Evolution, and a redesigned rear bumper that incorporates a rear diffuser - a standard "go-fast" part for modern sports cars.
Power is a healthy 195 kW (265 hp) from the 3.8-litre V6 engine and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional Sportronic five-speed self-shifter with pseudo manual control.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse range is available in both coupe and convertible guises.
Official high-res images and press release to follow.
