Mitsubishi Concept-ZT

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] The car has an aluminium space frame chassis, and features a 4N14 2.2-litre clean diesel producing 140 kW (190 PS) and 400 N⋅m (300 lb⋅ft), 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.

[2] Although there was initially no official confirmation, the automotive press was confident that this prototype presaged the next generation of the Mitsubishi Galant,[3][4][5] and the Galant-based Mitsubishi 380 in Australia.

[6] However, in August 2008 the company announced that it had abandoned production plans using the same drivetrain and a steel body, claiming they could no longer make a business case for the car.
