Mitsubishi Outlander Sports

Mitsubishi Outlander Simple Preview

Mitsubishi does have some history with offering derivative "Sport" models, with the last being the Montero Sport that ran from 1997-2004. In this case, the all-new 2011 Outlander Sport is based on the Mitsubishi Outlander, a crossover SUV we've praised in the past for its agile handling. The Outlander Sport is 14 inches shorter, 2 inches shorter in height and up to 700 pounds lighter -- a promising foundation for added agility and performance.

Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback (2009-) Review


We last drove the Ralliart Sportback as a pre-production car and even then it was shaping up to be a good compromise for someone who can't stretch to an Evo.


The prototypes had their flaws, though. The Ralliart's auto 'box blunted the 237bhp 2.0-litre turbo's performance, while others complained that Mitsubishi had gone too far in softening the Ralliart to make it palatable for the Golf GTI buyers and the like.


Mitsubishi listened and got to work. The finished Ralliart still sprints to 62mph in 7.1 seconds, but now boasts better gear ratios. Even more significantly, engineers have found the 'box is strong enough to take the full 253lb-ft of torque without the need for the pre-production car's torque limiter on first gear, promising for harder acceleration.


If that's not enough, the brakes have been boosted, suspension tweaked and it's competitively priced from £21,649 - that's £7,000 cheaper than the cheapest Lancer Evo and about £1,300 cheaper than the five-door Golf GTI.

So has Mitsubishi succeeded in providing an appetising cut-price alternative to one of the fastest, most accomplished four-door saloons ever made? Read on to find out.

50 white cars - examples the most popular colour choice for cars

The TechArt Porsche Cayenne Magnum. Ugly or full of character? I have to be honest I’m not normally a fan of the Cayenne but I love what TechArt have done with the beast. Just look at those white wheels!

techart-porsche_cayenne_magnum_2008blog21.jpg

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Utterly gorgeous.

ford-mustang_shelby_gt500_2007blog.jpg

The Landrover LRX Concept.

landroverlrx_live042.jpg

Nissan GT-R. This piece of Japanese metal really suits white doesn’t it?

nissan-gt-r_20082.jpg

2008 BMW M3 Convertible. I’m reliably informed that BMW are releasing this car to the press etc. in white later this year.

2008-bmw-m3-convertible.jpg

2008 Mercedes Benz CLC Class.

Toyota 4Runner. Bit of an acquired taste maybe.

2008-toyota-4runner-with-urban-runner-package.jpg

Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition. Those were the days when I used to own one of these babies.

cadillac-escalade_platinum_2008.jpg

But now I’ve converted back to right hand drive and possibly the best car in the world. The Range Rover Supercharged. My car, awesomely awesome.

The Artega GT.

The Bentley Brooklands.

Audi A5. Why do Audi cars in particular look so well in white?

whitea5.jpg

Heavily customised Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Otherwise known as the Popemobile!

popemobile.jpg

This is the gorgeous Audi R8. Simply stunning in white.

This is the new Audi A4. After the R8 it’s understated, but also looks well in white.

This is the Audi TT Roadster with modifications by Abt Sportsline.

This is the Audi Q7 V12 TDI concept. Are you bored of black 4×4’s? I know I am so its refreshing to see one in white.

Last of the Audi’s is the small but perfectly formed S3.

It’s very hard to find an Aston Martin of any kind, never mind a V8 Vantage in white. Had to look to Dubai (where else) for this one.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

Bentley Continental GT.

BMW M3 in Alpine White. Gorgeous.

OK so not quite white but doesn’t this Ferrari F430 Spider look good in ivory?

The Ford Kuga is due to be launched in the UK later this year. Not bad for a Ford is it? Bit better looking than the bland new Mondeo anyway.

The Mercedes ML Edition 10, due out early 2008.

I struggled to get a picture of the new Mercedes C Class in Sport trim in white but hopefully you can see from the image below how good it looks.

Even the humble Volkswagen Polo GTI suits a white coat of paint.

And the Polo’s big brother, the Golf GTI.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. I saw one of these in Vegas earlier this year (in a shopping mall) and it just looked fantastic in white.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Edition. Wow!

BMW 1 series. I didn’t like these at first but they’ve really grown on me now.

Fiat Grande Punto Abarth.

Honda Civic Type R. The pic below is the official concept, bizarrely you can’t buy it in white in UK showrooms.

Porsche 911 Turbo by Techart

What I’m listening to right now: Rockcity - “See You Around”
