Update:
Live auto show images added.]
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe and Spyder have received a modest facelift for the 2009 model year. Showcased this week at Chicago Auto Show, the car has a new look reminiscent of the company’s Lancer Evolution. Last week images of the car leaked online, and today we’re happy to bring you 38 high-resolution photos.
While the front has been augmented by a blacked-out trapezoidal grille/air intake, the rear now has a black insert on the lower part of the rear apron.
The 3.8 liter V6 has been improved somewhat, now deliver 265 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Customers can chose from a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
The GT model includes stability control, HID headlights, larger rear disc brakes, and a new spoiler. All Eclipse variants now come standard with electronic brakeforce distribution as part of the ABS system, which helps keep the vehicle under control during heavy braking.
