Mitsubishi FTO

Putting the Sport back into the Car

Like the Galant FTO of the early 70s, the Mitsubishi FTO, introduced in 1994, redefines running economy, styling and performance, with a heavy emphasis on performance. Having walked away with the "Japanese Car of the Year 1994-1995," the FTO integrates all the latest state-of-the-art body, chassis and engine technologies for the true sports car enthusiasts. FTO's perfectly proportioned exterior design with its low, wide stance and rear spoiler is a statement of power and performance.

The FTO GSX model's sports car performance comes from the 2000cc, V6, 24 valve, MIVEC, DOHC 6A12 engine adopting an ECI-MULTI fuel injection system. Translated, this means a power output of 200ps at 7500rpm and a maximum torque of 20.4kgm at 6000rpm. To smoothly transfer this get-up-and-go power the FTO integrates Mitsubishi's INVECS-ll, sport-mode, electronically conrolled , 4-speed automatic transmission offering the excitement of a manual transmission with a convenience of an automatic. For that straight running performance and clean sharp cornering, the FTO incorporates the 4-wheel indedependent suspension with McPherson strut front and multi-link rear systems. Add to this, advanced safety features such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ELR seatbelts, SRS airbags for both driver and passenger as well as a host of others for a true sports car performance offering outstanding cost performance and safety.
