The concept car is powered by the "E-Boost" high-performance hybrid propulsion system that delivers exhilarating acceleration while also delivering low fuel consumption and low emissions. Another concept vehicle making its global debut is the Sport Truck Concept, a new mid-size truck developed in collaboration with the Chrysler Group in a project that stems from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation's alliance with DaimlerChrysler. Eclipse Concept-E * The Eclipse Concept-E illustrates a near-future high-performance sports coupe. * The high-performance E-Boost hybrid power system achieves an ideal balance in delivering sports car-like acceleration together with environmentally friendly performance. Eclipse Concept-E: Profile Since its introduction in the North American market, the Eclipse compact sports coupe/convertible series has won wide acclaim for its advanced styling and outstanding driving performance. The Eclipse Concept-E concept model carries that performance-based spirit to new frontiers. Forcefully projecting a high-performance sports car image, Concept-E also gives graphic expression to Mitsubishi Motor Corporation's (MMC) focus on delivering pure driving pleasure with levels of dynamic handling and exhilarating performance approaching those found in the motorsports arena. The E-Boost high-performance hybrid propulsion system combines exhilarating acceleration with low- consumption, low-emissions performance. Inside, Concept-E utilizes a new "Deep Video Imaging" instrumentation display system to impart a highly futuristic look to the sporty interior design. Exterior * The Concept-E presents a distinctive front visage featuring the new MMC design identity that is crafted around the three-diamond corporate logo in the center grille. * The front grille vent with integrated spoiler evokes a jet fighter image. * The long wheelbase, short overhangs and cab forward layout create a highly integrated monolithic form which, with the raindrop design side window graphics, gives the Concept-E an aggressive, ready-to-pounce profile. * Xenon plasma headlamps and rear combination lamps accentuate the Concept-E's futuristic appearance and identify its high-power hybrid pedigree. Interior * The Concept-E generates a vibrant atmosphere inside through the "wave line" dashboard and the use of a raindrop door trim. * New "Deep Video Imaging" instrumentation uses two overlapping LCD monitors to create a 3-D viewing angle. Mechanical * The Concept-E is powered by a 350kW (470 horsepower) E-Boost hybrid system that combines a 3.8-liter MIVEC V6 engine generating 269 horsepower to drive the front wheels and a 150kW electric motor to drive front and rear wheels. This advanced system delivers class- topping acceleration for a hybrid vehicle together with low- consumption, low-emission performance when compared to other high- performance coupes. * The electric motor is powered by high-efficiency lithium-ion battery packs. * The Concept-E uses a six-speed automated manual transmission that enables the driver to select between the superior drive efficiency of a manual gearbox or the convenience of an automatic.
