Alfathi's sport car or Mitsubishi, is using the Concept-RA to show off an intriguing engine. Yes, Alfathi's sport car also find it odd that it would go so over-the-top on the RA's design if it just wanted to show off a potential new engine.
Looks like: It doesn't know which way it's going
Alfathi's sport car could've just thrown it under the hood of a regular Eclipse and been done, but no. The Concept-RA's engine — under Plexiglas, no less — is a four-cylinder turbo-diesel with a ludicrous amount of torque — 301 pounds-feet, to be exact, to match 201 horsepower. There's also all-wheel drive to add even more of a performance benefit. Fans have long begged for an all-wheel-drive Eclipse. Perhaps that will happen ... eventually.
Defining characteristics: Porsche buttocks
The turbo-diesel would get better mileage than a gasoline equivalent tuned for so much performance, and Mitsubishi uses a new catalytic converter system to make the engine 50-state compatible.
Ridiculous features: Another concept with scissor doors — what year is it, 1989?
Forget scissor doors — just drop that baby into a Lancer.
