 How might the new slant-nosed face of Mitsubishi translate onto a coupe like, say for argument, the new Eclipse? About like this Concept RA. Terrific looking in the flesh, the two-seat concept's cockpit is thrust forward as though the engine were mid-mounted. But to leave no doubt about where to look for the engine, it shows through what is not a hood. Fluid fill caps are also in view in the blackened hood area. The engine is part of the story, too, as it makes the Concept RA the second high-performance diesel sports car unveiled today. This 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve engine with MIVEC variable valve timing produces 201 hp and an impressive 310 pound-feet of torque--plenty to keep all four wheels scrabbling at the pavement via the Evo's Super All-Wheel Control system. Some more pie-in-the-sky features are the Concept RA's aluminum space frame, recycled plastic body panels, scissor doors, and wild dash. Gotta sell the sizzle with the steak.
