new Mitsubishi Eclipse

The latest Mitsubishi Eclipse reincarnation turned out to be extremely successful, but only if we take into account those flour creativity, which in the past 10 years have caused far from an attack melancholia. Now, glory may well come back. But until the moment before brighter still very far away. Too brutal joke played the title Eclipse with its holder. After all, only the real eclipse in the heads of designers and designers could make the second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse, the hero sets of films and idol fans around the world tuning in a litany amerikanschiny piece, which it has been the last few years. Fans classics still do not believe in a catastrophe that has occurred with the subject of their admiration.

But want to believe that the darkest hour is still coming to a close. In this year’s motor show in Chicago provided new version of the latest generation model Eclipse, which although not able to regain the respect of times, but to correct the situation precisely in the force. Of particular impact on the novelty clearly has work Nissan company over its main icon - a model Skyline GT-R. Thoughts turned in the right direction ordinary remnant of a bar of soap in quite decent car.

Front section on design is distinctly similar to the Nissan GT-R, although more correctly did mention Mitsubishi Evolution X. Form front bumper acquired decent shape, and even a small skirt. On the sides appeared slightly lower thresholds with a relief, and back and is revived from the dead. Black diffuser impressive size, two exhaust pipes a la Nissan 350Z and the large antikrylo together with transparent rear lights, which did not find an analogue - perfect combination to somehow bridge the horrors of the previous generation.

If the appearance of clear, it is technically part of the situation is not so transparent. For part of engines - a complete standstill. Engines, the same - working volume of 2.4 and 3.8 liters. The first of its four cylinders gives the entire 162 forces, but more spiteful V6 can produce a 265 hp splashes, and with them, and 350 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm. The choice is 5 - and 6 - speed manual CPR and simply unique chetyrehskorostnoy “machine”, which have long been removed and grandmother to donate to the memory of the old times. There are, of course, and 5 - GRAY speed, but it comes as an option. The most powerful GT version is able to recruit “hundreds of” nearly 6 seconds, which is a fairly good indicator for this class of car.
Jokes whether in this generation Eclipse even in the base version of the system is completed, not only ADS and EBD, but rear disc brakes, but it was different before. Moreover, the modification of GT instead of rear drums can be installed ventilated discs - progress that is not otherwise. Another feature of this, almost racing, modification is thicker rear stabilizer more lateral stability and 18 - inch wheels 235/45 dimension.

Inside the same Eclipse is very much like a Nissan 350Z, not just the central part of the general obvodami firing, but a form of the seats. But if the 350Z for the components you want to put a lot of pluses, Eclipse receives minus at least three things - steering wheel strange forms, electronic clock at the top of the torpedo and clearance space around selector GRAY, and selector himself, too.

But given the difficult fate, which suffered one of the most charismatic Mitsubishi models, it is hoped that the company has finally been chosen the right path, and the next generation is not only willing but also able to triumphantly returned to Europe. But judging from the changes that these thoughts clearly attend the management of the company. The main thing is that the path has been chosen Nissan GT-R, not the road of death behalf model Mitsubishi Galant. Then again, there will certainly be films with the participation of the car, a boy dreaming again begin a brand new Eclipse.
