The Mitsubishi Eclipse Ralliart Was the 400-HP Evo-Engined GSX We Never Got

After two terrific generations of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the third iteration and onward were big letdowns. Not only was the 3G based on the Chrysler Sebring, but it also lacked the turbo, all-wheel-drive GSX that made the Eclipse a tuning icon. However, Mitsubishi showed us what it could've done with the gorgeous 4G with a forgotten, Lancer Evolution-powered concept car that could've kept the Eclipse relevant.

Built for the 2005 SEMA Show, the Eclipse Ralliart Concept was based on the then-new 2006 Eclipse, whose top drivetrain was a naturally aspirated V6 paired with a six-speed manual. It may have made a solid 263 horsepower, but it was a far cry from the towering, 1,800-hp potential of the turbo 4G63 in the first two Eclipses. So, that's what went in the Ralliart Concept.
