The Mitsubishi Concept-ZT is a concept car developed by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors, and first exhibited at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in September 2007.[1] Although there has been no official confirmation, the automotive press is confident that this prototype presages the next generation of the Mitsubishi Galant,[2][3][4] and the Galant-based Mitsubishi 380 in Australia.[5]
The car has an aluminium space frame chassis, and features a 2.2 litre clean diesel producing 140 kW (190 PS) and 400 N·m (300 ft·lbf), powering all four wheels through the company's S-AWC drivetrain and SST twin-clutch transmission. Following the lead of other recent Mitsubishi prototypes, "green plastic" recyclable resin is used extensively in the body panels and interior for environmental reasons.[6]
