TOKYO 2007: NEW GALANT VR-4?
Mitsubishi unveils a new big brother for the Evo X
2.5-litre twin-turbo V6 anyone?
2.5-litre twin-turbo V6 anyone?
While pretty much everyone’s attention was drawn to the new Evo X, you could be forgiven for not noticing that Mitsubishi has also unveiled this, the Concept-ZT, on its Tokyo stand.
At first glance, it might seem to be just another large saloon concept, but look a little more closely and we might just have the successor to the Galant VR-4, as steered to victory in rallies during the late ’80s and early ’90s, on our hands.
Mitsubishi is keen to bang on about how the concept car is super safe, featuring a lane departure warning system and Jaguar-style pop-up bonnet to protect pedestrians, and how its 2.2-litre diesel engine is super high-tech.
However, we are more interested in the fact that this car features the double clutch gearbox and the S-AWC system as seen in the Evo, along with an electronically-controlled LSD, and the Outlander soft-roader's 4WD control system.
Coupled to some fastidious dieting, courtesy of resin body panels and an aluminium space frame, and this saloon promises to be properly rapid when fitted with a turbo petrol engine.
High power and high tech in an understated but attractive package: Subaru’s B-spec Legacy better beware.

Subaru naman talaga ang main enemy ng Mitsubishi. Since the early 90s, head to head na sila sa compact at mid size segments. Kaya as one is getting more and more sporty, you can actually predict what's gonna happen to the other. Lately, the mitsu stumble and deviate. But, it now seems to be back and on the hunt.
