The word RARE is way overused in the automobile re-sale market. To the point, it's almost rare not to see the word. This car was imported by Mitsubishi from 83-89. Only 10,655 produced in 1988. (all markets, all models) In 1987-89 they came to the US with the wide body (AKA fatty / flared fenders) and inter-cooled turbo. The 2.6L IC turbo engine produced 197 HP. with 220 lb ft of torque in a 2,700 lb car. An automatic transmission was not common in this car either.  This is a true survivor. I bought this from a friend of mine 4 years ago. It was sitting in her garage. (51 year old woman) in S. Arizona. She bought it new in Florida and moved it out here many years ago. It has the original Leather interior still in great shape. Everything is stock!!!! Radio and all. No cuts or holes or cracks in the dash or anywhere. The exterior is all original including the wheels and paint. The front spoiler has a break in it,(see pic) from a parking curb.  The only other visual issue is a few drops of battery fluid dropped on the left hid-a-way head light, otherwise in good shape. No dents no scratches. Now we might be approaching rare. If you don’t think so, try to find one on ebay or autotrader for sale!! Anywhere, Any year, any transmission, any condition.   The Transmission was rebuilt a few years ago, but has very few miles since. shifts very positive. The tires look new but are 5 or 6 years old. I've been driving it back and forth to work (9 miles one way) and makes a great commuter and decent mileage. No suspension parts have ever been changed but it still drives tight. Could probably use some shocks/struts and new tires for a better ride and fun factor. (rides like it has 25 year old shocks and bushings and 10 your old tires) is a little harsh right now) Engine starts easy, runs great and when the boost kicks in, it pulls great. Mitsubishi Starion has a race car pedigree. (SEE Wikipedia for more info) This car has independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive and 4 wheel disc brakes. Came factory with 205/55 - 16 tires on the front and 225/50 - 16 on the rear. This would make a great auto cross car and were popular as a tuners. The heater works good but the indication lights in the dash are intermittent.  If you have any questions please ask before bidding.

 The car is equipped with Air Conditioning. All the parts are in tact but clutch doesn't engage when turned on. Will require some work.

Pristine, time-traveling 2006 Mitsubishi Evo sells for $138K

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Remember that never-sold 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution we told you about last week? The one with 9 miles on the odometer, its seats wrapped in plastic and never titled? And that had already earned a bid of $100,100 on eBay? Well, that Evo has now sold for a hair under $138,000, Road and Track reports. That's $100,000 over its original sticker price of $37,094. The seller was South Coast Mitsubishi in Orange County, Calif., which one Reddit user claims has stockpiled multiple Evos and sold them off at a premium. This high-fetching Evolution is an IX MR model in Graphite Gray with black trim, a six-speed manual, all-wheel-drive transmission. It's optioned with the MR package that includes some aluminum and carbon-fiber bits and boost-gauge kit, plus the Zero Lift aero kit. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter, 16-valve inline four-cylinder, 286 horsepower engine with 289 pound-feet of torque. It can do 0-to-60 in 4.4 seconds. The car's production run ended with the 2015 model year. The car fielded a total of 80 bids, which started at $30,000.

Mitsubishi previews diesel hybrid pickup concept, next-gen EV for Geneva

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Mitsubishi has a long history of tidy little pickup trucks, and the Japanese automaker is apparently looking to extend that heritage in a bolder, bigger way with the Concept GR-HEV, a "sport utility hybrid truck."
The future-think show star, slated to be unveiled at next month's Geneva Motor Show, is actually tipped to be a much larger effort - Mitsubishi says it's applying its hybrid technology to a one-ton truck for the first time. The GR-HEV is powered by a complex powertrain composed of a diesel engine and electric motors, which the company believes is better suited to the sort of heavy-duty work required in the segment. The concept also employs full-time four-wheel drive and a development of Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control system (which governs things like stability and brake force control along with an active center differential) as seen on the production Lancer Evolution.
In related news, Mitsubishi has also confirmed that it will show a next-generation electric showcar at Geneva dubbed Concept CA-MiEV. With this new concept (inset photo), the company says it is looking to build on the learnings of its i citycar and take EVs out of their limited urban roles. To that end, the CA-MiEV boasts "next generation EV systems and high density batteries" that give it a range of 186 miles.

Mitsubishi XR-PHEV Concept is a chronicle of an Outlander Sport foretold [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi's current Outlander Sport has done a yeoman's job since it came on the market for the 2011 model year. The affordable crossover has been one of the few bright spots in the perennially troubled automaker's lineup - it's the brand's best seller in the US and sales are up nearly 40 percent this year. The subcompact CUV has become an increasingly important part of the Mitsubishi lineup, which is why you should pay attention to this XR-PHEV Concept - it's said to presage the next-generation model.
Stylistically, this is a pretty bold little CUV, with a striking face framed by bold zig-zags of chrome that underline the narrow headlamps and frame the massive lower fascia. The profile has a dramatically tapered greenhouse with bold sheetmetal contours and a funky blacked-out A-pillar that emphasizes the hood's height. The rear end is no less dramatic, with dual-pane rear tailgate with a particularly fast rake.
As shown here, the XR-PHEV (pronounced "Cross Runner") is a four-seat CUV that motivates its front wheels through a turbocharged 1.1-liter, three-cylinder engine with 134 horsepower paired with a 120-kW electric motor. In pure-electric mode, the 14-kWh battery is said to be good for 52 miles of cruising range and the combined fuel economy bogey is 66 miles per gallon on Japan's lenient testing cycle.
