[Description (based in-game)]
More than two decades after Mitsubishi introduced its popular Galant FTO model in 1971, the Japanese industrial giant revived the illustrious FTO nameplate with an all-new car in late 1994.
While the Galant FTO of the seventies featured an FR configuration (Front engine, Rear drive), the new FTO, built on the Lancer and Mirage platform, sent all of the engine's power exclusively to its front wheels. This new FTO featured a short overall length, but wide body, so much so that it was classified as a Japanese size Class 3, quite rare for an FF sports coupe at that time.
Three distinctive engines were available for the FTO: the 4G93, a 1.8-liter SOHC inline-4 that produced 92 kW and 161.6 Nm of torque; the 6A12, a 2.0-liter DOHC V-6 that made 125 kW and 186.1 Nm of torque (later massaged to produce 132 kW and 191.1 Nm of torque); and a more potent version of the 6A12 engine that boasted Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable valve-timing system that pumped out a full 147 kW and 199.9 Nm of torque.
In addition to a traditional 5-speed manual transmission, the car was also available with an innovative 4-speed automatic transmission with an INVECS-II sports driving mode.
The FTO's unique and swoopy styling, along with superior driving dynamics and excellent automatic transmission, won over many sports-car fans and was named Japan's Car of the Year in 1994.
