Every 4th-gen Eclipse that reached showrooms was front-wheel drive only — but Mitsubishi and Ralliart quietly built a hybrid-electric AWD concept with the Evo's 4G63 engine that never saw production.
This Eclipse traces back to a milestone concept: the Mitsubishi SST, the brand's first-ever concept car shown at a US auto show, previewed its design.
The 2G Eclipse's 10th Anniversary send-off in 1999 came loaded with OZ Racing wheels and leather — but Mitsubishi paired the anniversary package only with the base 420A engine, not the turbo everyone wanted.
The first-generation Eclipse was co-developed with Chrysler and built at the Diamond-Star Motors plant in Normal, Illinois, a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler.
