NEW STI WRX

[GSRSOL]

has anyone seen the new STI?

Its F%$#ING UGLY...
Im sure some of the Jap tuning shops will come up with a more aesthetically pleasing front end......

oh well who cares. Its a Subi.

I'm putting $50 on the new lancer being equally ugly if mitsubishi's last magna has any say in it... or the 05 model galant in the states or etc....

I think the only difference is the dodgy mitsubishi looks grow on you :wink:

I'm waiting to see what the 380 looks like tho. Hopefully mitsub has gotten away from making cars that look like fish.

I'd buy one of these is they brought it out in AWD...

The Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart concept embodies the definition of a Ralliart model. The concept vehicle features the same 3.8-liter MIVEC high-output, 260 horsepower engine that will be available on the 2006 Eclipse, as well as the coupe's 6-speed manual transmission. The Galant Ralliart concept vehicle sits on 19 by 8.5 Racing Hart F10 wheels, 245/40/19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires, Ralliart exhaust, as well as a custom cold air intake system and coilover springs suspension from Road Race Engineering. A rear stabilizer bar, front and rear strut braces, and Brembo's 4-piston brake kit (front) and custom cross-drilled rotors (back) complete the mechanical modifications.

Regarding the Galant Ralliart concept exterior, PIAA driving lamps, show car-quality paint, a metal mesh grille with Ralliart logo, as well as custom-integrated rear spoiler, front and rear fascia and side skirt, immediately make it clear that this is a special ride. The Galant Ralliart concept also features a custom interior, including coordinated carpeting and leather. Comfort and appearance are enhanced with Recaro front driver and passenger seats, Ralliart shift knob, and Logitech driving simulator steering wheel and pedal set. Even a Recaro baby seat has been added for the enthusiast family man. Sparco race helmets, as well as 4-point race harness (two sets), driving gloves and driving shoes are all compliments of SuperAutobacs. In addition, the custom stereo system, installed by SuperAutobacs, features DLS speakers and amplifiers.

There's no such thing as a Racinghart F-10??

Where's this info come from? The last paragraph sounds like a bit of a joke. Logitech stuff? I wasn't aware logitech was into actual car parts!

Racing Hart F10.

Theres an intresting thread on nzmmc about the designer from alfa romeo who designed the new WRX, while the designer himself says theres no alfa influence in this impreza concept.

you be the judge.

 

[Entaran]

I stand corrected then.

Mitsubishi Motors gave a similar Ralliart treatment to the Galant. The Ralliart Galant wears retina-searing paint, PIAA driving lamps, custom-integrated rear spoiler, front and rear fascia, and side skirts. It features the same 3.8L/260-hp engine to be offered in the 2006 Eclipse, as well as the coupe?s six-speed manual transmission. The Galant Ralliart concept vehicle sits on Racing Hart F10 wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires, and features Ralliart exhaust, custom air intake system, and coilover spring suspension from Road Race Engineering. A rear stabilizer bar, front and rear strut braces, and Brembo four-piston brake kit (front) and custom cross-drilled rotors (back) complete the mechanical modifications. The interior gets a SuperAutobacs stereo, Recaro seats front and rear, and even a Recaro baby seat for the enthusiast family.

On the outside, PIAA driving lamps and a metal mesh grille are combined with custom front and rear fascias, side skirts and an integrated rear spoiler to provide a unique appearance ? a look that's intensified by glowing tangerine orange show paint. The interior is custom Ralliart as well, with Recaro front seats, special carpet, a Ralliart shift knob and Logitech driving simulator steering wheel and pedal set. DLS speakers and amplifiers boost sound from the custom stereo system. The 19-inch Racing Hart F10 wheels with 245/40R19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires complete the package.

Damn, you beat me to it Dre!

I know that was taking too long. :lol:

 

[GSRSOL]

Yep definite similarities......... that grill is disgusting!

 

[mad_rx2]

is it just me Or do those Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart concept lights look disturbingly simular to subaru liberty headlights

 

[GVR40]

its just the angle, they do look a little similar, but i would have said more like holden astra/vectra than subaru liberty.

 

[GSRSOL]

is it just me Or do those Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart concept lights look disturbingly simular to subaru liberty headlights

and the new VE commodore........
and astra.....

etc etc

everything seems to be merging into the one kind of design direction..... nothing really looks unique (and good) anymore i reckon.
