Mitsubishi Motors Endeavor Crossover SUV Debut
Published: 15th January 2003
Tarmac Spyder Overview - Exterior
- Tarmac Spyder’s distinctive front visage showcases
the new MMC design identity: the front grille featuring
a raised triangular base embellished by a prominent three-diamond
Mitsubishi logo.
- Packaged within the compact dimensions normal to a hi-performance
sports car, Tarmac Spyder’s easily detachable hard
top enables all four occupants to enjoy the thrills and
elation of open car driving with space to spare.
- A new sliding door design realizes a sweet balance between styling aesthetics and convenience.
Interior
- While employing materials and color schemes developed
to satisfy the Gen Y consumer’s appetite for the "genuine
article", massive braces between the seats give expression
to Tarmac Spyder’s spartan design motif that evokes
images of a racing car or even jet fighter cockpit.
- The dashboard and instrument panel use the wave-line styling
theme that identifies MMC’s new interior design identity
to realize an interior that wraps round and embraces its
occupants in sumptuous and reassuring comfort.
- The on-board CDD camera captures all the excitement of that trip down to the sea or into the outback, while individual LED monitors enable front and rear seat passengers to enjoy whatever’s showing on the DVD player.
Mechanical Features
- The powertrain uses the 4G63-type 2.0-liter in-line 4-cylinder
16-valve DOHC engine mated to Mitsubishi’s Sportronic
™ Sequential-Shift 5-speed automatic transmission.
- Mitsubishi’s All Wheel Control technology – comprising ACD, AYC and Sports ABS – has been optimized to realize dramatic improvements in fun-to-drive dynamic performance characteristics while also delivering relaxing and easy-to-drive controllability that accommodates a wide range of driving abilities.
