Eclipse GT's 24-valve, twin-cam V6 is smooth, quiet and powerful. Tromp on the accelerator and you'll enjoy smooth, linear power. Gone is the slight lag of last year's turbocharged engine that was followed by a burst of power. With 205 foot-pounds of torque available at 4,500 rpm and 205 horsepower at 5500 rpm, the new V6 delivers power to pass at a moment's notice.
Gear ratio spacing helps the 5-speed manual transmission make the most of the engine's power. Mitsubishi has redesigned the shifting mechanism and the new shifter is one of the most solid cable types we have seen in recent years. We had no problem with the gears even when shifting quickly. Quick, accurate and easy to use, the manual transmission in the Eclipse is a great partner for the enthusiast driver.
The Eclipse also comes with a great set of brakes. Large ventilated discs with dual piston calipers take on duties at the front wheels while solid discs watch over the rear wheels. Next Page
