MOD MITSUBISHI FTO (1994 - 2000) FOR CAR MECHANIC SIMULATOR 2018 In 1971, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) presented the Mitsubishi Galant FTO, a 2-door sports coupe, to the public. In 1972, it was this Galant FTO 16GLS that won the 7th Southern Cross Rally in Australia. In the future, cars with the FTO emblem have repeatedly successfully performed in world motorsport, having won many medals and awards on the competition tracks. The abbreviation itself - FTO (Fresh Touring Origination) can literally be translated as "novelty for travelers". In Japan, the car was positioned as an original means of transportation for speed lovers. 1994 - the beginning of the production of the second generation Mitsubishi FTO. It was a bold decision by the Japanese automaker to launch a car with a truly sporty character and many technical innovations. Aggressive body design and dynamics that are not inferior to external data, as much as possible cut front and rear overhangs, gave the car an original, easily recognizable look that has no analogues in the world. On December 2nd of the same year, Mitsubishi FTO was named Car of the Year in Japan. In addition to being a superb sports car, the FTO featured a functional chassis and advanced sports technology: the INVECS-II automatic transmission with sport mode and mechanical steering capability. In recent years, all award winners have been sedans. Mitsubishi FTO is the first sports car to be recognized as car of the year. In honor of this event, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has released a limited number of FTO models, with a yellow painted body. The FTO was produced in a front-wheel drive version. The chassis of the vehicle is based on the chassis of the Lancer / Mirrage models. The production of the right-hand drive only car determined the FTO to remain in the Japanese domestic market. There were no deliveries to Europe and other countries of the world. Mitsubishi FTO uses 3 types of engines: 1. 4G93 4 cyl. in-line, 1834cc, 125hp one overhead camshaft (toothed belt), 16 valves, light-alloy cylinder head 5-support knee. shaft, electronic injection system ECI-MULTI (electrically controlled gasoline injection). 2. 6A12 6 cyl. V-arr. 1998cm3, 180hp 2 * 1 overhead camshaft (timing belt), 24 valves, light alloy cylinder head electronic injection system ECI-MULTI (electrically controlled gasoline injection). 3.6A12 MIVEC (electronic valve clearance control) 6 cyl. V-arr. 1998cm3, 200hp 2 * 1 overhead camshaft (timing belt), 24 valves, light alloy cylinder head electronic injection system ECI-MULTI (electrically controlled gasoline injection). The last of the listed engines should be noted - a 2-liter V-6-cylinder DOHC engine of the MIVEC series with electronically controlled variable valve clearances, capable of developing power of 200 hp. Mitsubishi FTO became the first Japanese car to be equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission INVECS-II with sport mode and manual control. At that time, Porsche developed an automatic transmission with the possibility of manual gear shifting - Tiptronic. And INVECS-II became the Japanese counterpart, work on which was carried out in parallel with the German developers. Being automatic, it allows you to switch to sport mode. The FTO was also equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. INVECS-II (Innovative Vehicle Control System - II) is the second generation of Mitsubishi "automatic machines" with an adaptive algorithm of operation. The computer constantly analyzes the driving style of the person driving the car and, depending on the data received, selects the optimal switching mode. For active driving and, for example, engine braking in winter conditions, a manual gearshift mode is provided. Thus, INVECS-II Sports Mode combines the advantages of automatic and manual transmissions. The 2nd generation Mitsubishi FTO came to an end in 1999. There are rumors of a 3rd generation FTO (Mitsubishi) production, but these are only rumors so far. options: Stock Credits: LIT |
