Thrillseekers, the queue starts here

Mitsubishi calls its latest concept vehicle the super sports utility. It says it has the performance of the 3000GT sports car and the strength of its rally winning four-wheel-drive Pajero.

That's why it is aiming it at what it calls America's "adrenalin junkies." The vehicle is powered by a 2.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing about 200kW and mated to either an automatic or clutchless transmission. Electronic gizmos include active yaw control borrowed from the Evo V.

The suspension system is a multi-link setup on all four wheels which, coupled with huge 295/50R20 tyres on 20-inch rims, gives the vehicle ground clearance of 260mm.

The wheelbase is 2835mm and overall length 4600mm.

Mitsubishi says interior space is similar to that of the four-wheel-drive Challenger, but the centre-opening doors in place of a B pillar make for easy entry. The vertical headlights and huge round driving lights give the study car an aggressive front styling.
