why did FTO made to be a 2L ????

poster · Post by **poster** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:45 pm

is there a reason for the smal 2L with big V6 ???

i saw on a show that they said rally cars can not be over the 2L mark....

did the FTO designer want it to be in Rally race car ??

I think it's just to do with the fact they wanted a certain size car and to fit in their range and 2L was as big as they could reasonably get in there.

Not that I'm complaining, the 2L V6 MIVEC sounds so Sweeeeet...

I believe mitsubishi went for the small V6 instead of a larger capicity 4 or even just 2.0L is to overcome the lack of torque you get in lots of 4 bangers in the early 90's.

Most N/A 4 bangers back then produce around 150-180Nm, while FTO is 200Nm, plus its good for the marketing ppl as they can brag about "its a V6 & its MIVEC"

Yeah! When I told a commonwhore enthusiast that the FTO was a 6, that shut him up pretty quickly when he was bagging the 4 bangers.
