After the much ballyhooed announcements about the DSM trio in 1990, the Mitsubishi proclaimed their divorce from Chrysler Corporation and redesigned the Mitsubishi Eclipse in their 1995 edition. The new Eclipse was longer, lower, and wider, with distinctive, much more intricate styling than its forerunner. Fuller, more rounded forms gave the car a much tougher look.

 

The 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse comes in four trims; the base model RS, and GS models are 2.0L 4-cylinder DOHC engines producing a modest 140hp. Only the GS-T and the GSX are turbo-charged. The intercooled, turbo-charged, 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder, 16 valve DOHC, producing 210hp will literally compress you into your seat. The acceleration and throttle response is remarkable. The 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse will clench through a turn and accelerate nicer than anything in its class.

 

It doesn't redline until 7000 rpm. The turbo-charged engines provide unbelievable power with decent gas mileage, roughly about 21 in the city and do 27 on the highway. The 140hp models get the same mileage as the 210hp GS-T. A whole new design, better handling, finer handling, greater power but the same excellence provided from then till the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
