88 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6l Turbo on 2040-cars
Sierra Vista, Arizona, United States
The word RARE is way overused in the automobile re-sale
market. To the point, it's almost rare not to see the word. This car was
imported by Mitsubishi from 83-89. Only 10,655 produced in 1988. (all markets, all
models) In 1987-89 they came to the US with the wide body (AKA fatty / flared
fenders) and inter-cooled turbo. The 2.6L IC turbo engine produced 197 HP. with 220 lb ft of torque in a 2,700
lb car. An automatic transmission was not common in this car either. This is a true survivor. I bought this from a friend of mine 4
years ago. It was sitting in her garage. (51 year old woman) in S. Arizona. She bought it new
in Florida and moved it out here many years ago. It has the
original Leather interior still in great shape. Everything is stock!!!! Radio
and all. No cuts or holes or cracks in the dash or anywhere. The exterior is
all original including the wheels and paint. The front spoiler has a break in
it,(see pic) from a parking curb.
The only other visual issue is a few drops of battery fluid dropped on
the left hid-a-way head light, otherwise in good shape. No dents no scratches.
Now we might be approaching rare. If you don’t think so, try to find one on
ebay or autotrader for sale!! Anywhere, Any year, any transmission, any condition. The Transmission was rebuilt a few years
ago, but has very few miles since. shifts very positive. The tires look new but are
5 or 6 years old. I've been driving it back and forth to work (9 miles one way)
and makes a great commuter and decent mileage. No suspension parts have ever
been changed but it still drives tight. Could probably use some shocks/struts
and new tires for a better ride and fun factor. (rides like it has 25 year old shocks and bushings and 10 your old tires) is a little harsh right now) Engine starts
easy, runs great and when the boost kicks in, it pulls great. Mitsubishi
Starion has a race car pedigree. (SEE Wikipedia for more info) This car has independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive and 4 wheel disc brakes. Came factory with
205/55 - 16 tires on the front and 225/50 - 16 on the rear. This would make a
great auto cross car and were popular as a tuners. The heater works good but the indication
lights in the dash are intermittent. If you have any questions please ask
before bidding. On Jan-30-14 at 14:51:56 PST, seller added the following information: The car is equipped with Air Conditioning. All the parts are in tact but clutch doesn't engage when turned on. Will require some work. |

Mitsubishi CA-MiEV and GR-HEV concepts peek out before debut
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We're getting a look at the two star Mitsubishi concept cars from this year's Geneva soiree, just ahead of the official debut for both. As suits Mitsubishi's ever-deepening interest in electrified vehicles, the brace of concepts both make use of electric drive: the CA-MiEV being a pure electric vehicle and the GR-HEV using a diesel-electric powertrain.
The CA-MiEV concept car may look a bit like a photoshopped Toyota Prius, but in fact the car employs a new electric motor and battery system from Mitsu. We're told that the EV has a theoretical range of 186 miles, which is nearly double the range of most EVs on the market today and approaches Tesla territory. The vehicle is larger than the company's current i-MiEV, and would seem to point the way forward for a more mainstream production EV from Mitsu.
The second concept, a rather odd-looking pickup truck called the GR-HEV, has a diesel engine, electric motor, all-wheel drive, and Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control. The front fascia bears a version of the grille we've seen on the new Outlander PHEV, with more radically raked (sort of "smiling") lighting elements.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution's curtain call will come with more power
Thu, 28 Aug 2014We love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, but by this point, we've accepted the fact that the its days are numbered, despite the noticeable back and forth that accompanied rumors of the vehicle's future for so many months and years. And while the Evo's coming death in 2015 is pretty sad, a report from Automotive News claims that the road-going rally machine will at least be leaving with a fairly substantial bang.
According to AN, Mitsubishi will send off the Evo with a Special Action Model. Limited to between 2,000 to 2,500 units and destined exclusively for the United States, the Evo X SAM should boast, most notably, a bump in power for its 291-pony, 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. There should be a few other performance tweaks to accompany the increased output, although it's unclear what those might be. AN claims the limited-edition model will drop during the last six months of Evo production, some time next year.
AN's report was confirmed to us by Mitsubishi spokesman Alex Fedorak, who said that, yes, there will be "a US special edition in 2015." We've asked for additional information, but all we've heard back, so far, is that mum's the word. Here's hoping we won't be waiting too long to get official details.
Mitsubishi boss says US operations may break even next year
Sat, 23 Nov 2013Mitsubishi has lost money in its North America operations every year since 2007, but in an interview at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, company president Osamu Masuko said, "If things keep going well, it might be the case that we break even this year," Automotive News reports.
A little context: Last month Mitsubishi predicted that it would lower its operating loss in the region to 4-billion yen ($40.7 million) by March 31, the end of the fiscal year, well below the previous fiscal year's operating loss of more than five times that amount. Reflecting that, production at the Japanese automaker's sole North American factory in Normal, Illinois, has grown to 56,630 vehicles through October, compared to 27,339 through the same period last year.
The plant makes the Outlander Sport for the US and for export to markets such as Russia, the Middle East and Latin America. Interestingly, out of the 56,630 Outlander Sports built at the Illinois plant through October, only 20,150 were sold in the US.
