This Mirage generation is the lightest 4-door car sold in North America — only the tiny 2-seat Smart Fortwo weighs less.
Demand for the Eclipse cut US-market Mirage sedan production for 1999 so hard that only 4,783 Mirage DEs were built.
Mitsubishi once squeezed a V6 into this little Mirage at just 1.6 litres — the smallest V6 ever put into mass production.
The Mirage's weird twin-lever gearbox wasn't a gimmick — it was a cost-saving fix for an engine never meant to go sideways, and it accidentally gave the car eight effective gear ratios.
Mitsubishi built the Mirage as a direct answer to the 1973 oil crisis, with a dual-range gearbox called Super Shift.
