Mitsubishi Eclipse

This model is designed for the North American market, is going to the same place - in America. In its present form emerged in 1999. This is the third generation of the car. Initially it was produced only with a body type "compartment", but in 2000 it added to the model lineup «Spider», which was equipped with a retractable roof, skaladyvaemoy and unfolds with an electric motor. Even then, it was envisaged that both kinds of cars will be shipped to Japan. The first acquaintance with Japanese customers "Spider" was at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2003. And almost a year later, that is, in October 2004, he finally went on sale in the domestic market. I must say that the manufacturer did not care much about how to adapt the machine to the Japanese driving conditions. Enough just to say that even the steering wheel is left as-is, that is to the left. And in its dynamic qualities he is no different. Wheelbase was increased, the layout differs somewhat shifted forward cabin (body type «cabin forward»), to increase the number of seats to four. Interior is made in black colors, used in the finishing of leather. Since the body is much tougher than it was in the previous model, drive the car was much more pleasant. The car is equipped with a 24-valve 6-cylinder V-engine of 3 liters. This is attached to the motor, 4-speed automatic transmission model INVECS-II, which can operate in «Sport mode».
