The Mitsubishi Tredia was a subcompact sedan built by Mitsubishi Motors from 1982 to 1990. Its name is supposedly derived from Mitsubishi's Three Diamonds logo. Alongside the Cordia and Starion, it was one of the first cars imported and sold to America by the company without the involvement of its then partner, the Chrysler Corporation.

Overview

Designed to fit between the existing Galant and Lancer models to increase the overall lineup of passenger vehicles, the Cordia and Tredia used front-wheel drive, and were similar in design to the contemporary Mirage. They incorporated a MacPherson strut/independent trailing arm suspension, front disc brakes, manual or electrically-controlled automatic transmission, and a choice of three engines: a 1.4 L rated at 68 hp, a 1.6 L rated at 74 hp (55 kW) and a 114 hp (85 kW) turbocharged 1.6 L. Some smaller export markets also received a carb-fed 2.0 L rated at 110 hp (82 kW).

The cars were given a mild facelift in 1983, and four-wheel drive was offered in 1984. The engine range was overhauled in 1985 to allow the cars to run on unleaded fuel, including the introduction of a 1.8 L engine in both 100 hp (70 kW) naturally-aspirated and 135 hp (101 kW) turbocharged form, before production was discontinued in 1990. 1988 was its last year in the United States.

It was available in the following colours ("(M)" for metallic colours):

• Polar White W52
• Florence Beige G81
• Safari Red R47
• Canyon Red R94(M)
• Atlantic Bleu B71(M)
• Lawrence Green G81(M)
• Milano Gold S34(M)
• Italian Silver H29(M)

Tredia Turbo

The Mitsubishi Tredia 1600 Turbo was the fastest version of the Mitsubishi Tredia. It had a turbocharged 1597 cc carburetted inline-4 engine which produced 114 hp (84 kW) and 170 N·m (125 ft·lbf) of torque. The Tredia Turbo is easily distinguished from the other Tredia models by having a front spoiler, an air-intake on the bonnet, Turbo-striping on the side of the car, 13" light-alloy sportwheels and, if installed, foglamps and a rear spoiler. The interior was also very different from that of the normal Tredia models; special seats in a two-tone grey colour, an oil pressure gauge, voltmeter and a four-spoke steering wheel were installed. A radio cassette player was optional. Like the 1400 GLX and the 1600 GLS, the 1600 Turbo had a manual 4-speed 'Power/Economy' transmission. With the Power/Economy-selector selected in 'Power' (moved forward), the car would accelerate faster. With the Power/Economy-selector selected in 'Economy' (moved backwards), the engine would run at lower revs and use less fuel.

The Mitsubishi Toppo is a light RV (recreational vehicle) produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 1990 to 2001 and derived from their Mitsubishi Minica kei car. The name is derived as a portmanteau of the English "top" (roof) and the Japanese "noppo" (lanky).

Originally named the Minica Toppo, a retro-styled variant was introduced in 1997 called the Mitsubishi Town Bee. Later that year a new generation was launched, and the "Minica" was dropped; it was now referred to as the Mitsubishi Toppo BJ ("Big Joy"). A larger derivative, the Toppo BJ Wide was introduced in 1998. The model was replaced by the new Mitsubishi eK in 2001.

The Mitsubishi Starion is a three-door, turbocharged four-cylinder rear-wheel drive four-seat sports car that was in production from 1982 to 1990. It was also marketed in North America as the Conquest under the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth names; both the Starion and Conquest came to an end in 1989. Although preceded by earlier turbocharged designs such as the Porsche 930 (1975), Saab 99 (1978) and the Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2000 Turbo (1980), it is considered to be one of the originators of the modern Japanese turbocharged performance automobile genre.

The "Starion" name is claimed to be a contraction of "Star of Orion." It was also widely believed that the Japanese intended the name to be "Stallion". But during translation was actually misspelt.

Background

The Starion's appearance in 1982 occurred during a period in which a number of Japanese Grand Tourer (GT) sports cars were increasing in popularity. The Starion's turbocharged four-cylinder engine enabled it to be very competitive.

During production, the Starion was produced in both a narrowbody (sport body) and widebody (or "R" for Rally body) design. The design proved durable and few changes were made between models, with only simple improvements demarking the change from one model to the next. In the United States market, there was only one major change when the car was upgraded to the ESI-r (Conquest TSi) model; this model features an intercooler and five-bolt wheels, replacing the four-bolt wheels it had inherited from the rear wheel drive Mitsubishi Galant Lambda.

At the time, Mitsubishi opted for the Mitsubishi Astron engine with a single-camshaft head (SOHC) rather than the dual cam head, and also for a throttle-body fuel injection setup which mixed the fuel with the air prior to entering the plenum chamber.

Production ceased entirely by 1990, and its successor, the GTO was fitted with the mechanicals of the recently demonstrated Mitsubishi HSX Sports Coupe concept vehicle.

Many of the performance features of the Starion were integrated into later vehicles and can be found in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, in the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Overview

The Starion used a traditional front-mounted engine with rear-wheel drive layout, which most sports cars use. Many came with a limited slip differential and anti-lock brakes (single channel, rear wheels only) as standard features. The entire chassis was derived from the previous high performance variant of the Mitsubishi Sapporo or Mitsubishi Galant Lambda sports coupe, with a MacPherson strut suspension and swaybars that were fitted to front and rear.

Engine capacity was 2.0 L with the now well-known Sirius 4G63 2.0 L engine, subsequently featured in DOHC form in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series of automobiles. However, American customers received the larger Astron G54B 2.6 L engine, but without any additional horsepower. Neither engines were DOHC. After 1987, European Starion models were also fitted with the 2.6 L engine, as was the GSR-VR for Japan. Both engines featured computer controlled fuel injection and turbocharging.

Horsepower varied between 150 and 197 bhp (147 kW) depending mostly upon the turbocharger that was fitted, the presence of an intercooler, and whether the 8-valve or 12-valve head was used.

A naturally-aspirated version known as the GX was also built for the Japanese market, however production ceased in 1983 due to low sales figures. The Starion GX had no electric windows, no air conditioning, no independent rear suspension, no fuel injection and did not have power-assisted steering.

Seating was a 2+2 arrangement, although the rear seats are not too suitable for large adults. The front seats were adjustable for lumbar, angle, knee support, position and featured variable-angle side-braces.

One of the more unusual features was that the seatbelts were located in the doors for the driver and front passenger, and some American and European models featured electrically operated seatbelts.

A five-speed manual transmission was standard in most models, however, an automatic transmission was sold as an option in some markets.

The drag coefficient was around 0.32; quite efficient for the era, and although quite angular, the aerodynamics in general were exceptional at the time. It was one of the world's fastest mass produced cars.

Models

A number of models existed throughout the world during 1982 to 1990.

1987 Chrysler Conquest

Conquest

The Conquest was a version of the Starion sold by the Chrysler Corporation from 1984 to 1989. The Conquest was sold under both the Dodge and Plymouth names until 1986. Chrysler sold the Conquest under its own name from 1987 until 1989. The Conquest was replaced with the Dodge Stealth and the Plymouth Laser, as the Starion was replaced with the Mitsubishi 3000GT and Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Motorsports

Mitsubishi Starion (lightly modified)

The Starion was a prominent competitor in motorsports up to International level during the 1980s and performed well on the circuit in Group A and Group N races of the era. In the United States, the Starion became best known for successes in endurance racing. Starions from Dave Wolin's Team Mitsubishi, with turbocharged 2.6 L G54B engines built by noted Lotus engine guru Dave Vegher, captured the prestigious "Longest Day of Nelson Ledges", 24 hour endurance race, an incredible four years running, from 1984 through 1987. Team Mitsubishi Starions also won the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) U.S. Endurance Championships three of those four years, competing against the fully factory-backed efforts from Chrysler, Audi, Nissan and Mazda. Although not commonly seen in modern motorsports, a number are still raced on both circuit and in special stage rally events, usually by privateers.

Starion 4WD

The Starion was equally successful offroad, and found victory in Group A World Rally Championships and Asia Pacific Rally Championships, during 1987 and 1988. An all wheel drive version of the Starion was also produced for Group B specifications (one of the few Japanese automobile manufacturers to enter this class), but after an encouraging start as a prototype was not homologated before the FIA banned Group B cars for safety reasons. The Starion was converted to all wheel drive by adding a strengthened transfer case from a Pajero behind the transmission. This configuration allowed the engine to be situated well back in the chassis, for improved front/rear weight distribution compared to the Audi Quattro, whose configuration required the engine to be far forward in the car. Although the wheelbase did not change, the use of regular headlights rather than the production model's pop-up headlights allowed the nose to be six inches shorter, as well as saving several pounds in weight. Further weight was saved by the use of carbon fiber for the driveshafts, sumpguard, and lower arms of the suspension, and fiberglass for the hood (bonnet), tailgate, door skins, fenders, bumpers and spoilers, resulting in a final weight of less than 1000 kg (2205 lb), lighter than the Audi Quattro. The car was developed with a turbocharged and intercooled version of Mitsubishi's 2.0 L fuel injected engine, but the final goal was to use a turbocharged and intercooled 350 hp (261 kW) version of the Sirius Dash engine that Mitsubishi announced at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show, which switched electronically at 2500 rpm from one inlet valve per cylinder to two. The car was campaigned for Mitsubishi by Team Ralliart in Essex, Great Britain, under rally veteran Andrew Cowan and engineer Alan Wilkinson, who had developed the Audi Quattro for Audi Sport UK.

The Mitsubishi Space Star is a mini MPV from Mitsubishi Motors, built in the NedCar factory in the Netherlands, a joint facility shared with Volvo, and is primarily sold on the European markets. It shares its platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma and Volvo S40/V40, and was first introduced to the market in the fall of 1998. Production of the Space Star ended in 2005.

Since the car's introduction to the market its visual appearance has stayed almost identical and it has only received a minor facelift in 2002. The car has been praised for its reliability as well as comfortable and for its size quite spacious interior, but its visual appearance was sometimes criticized for being too conventional and not attractive enough. In 2001 the Space Star was crash tested by EuroNCAP and received a three-star rating for the safety of its adult passengers and a two-star rating for the safety of pedestrians.

The base Space Stars were equipped with 1.3 L petrol engines with a maximum output ranging between 80 and 84 hp. From other gasoline-powered engines there were a 1.6 L with 97 hp (72 kW) and since 2003 the top models featured a 1.8 L with 112 hp (84 kW). A top model equipped with a 1.8-liter GDI engine with 121 hp (90 kW) was available until its discontinuation in 2002. Diesel engines were the 1.9 L DI-D with 101 hp (75 kW), introduced in 2002, and the 1.9 L DI-D S version with 115 hp (86 kW), released in 2003. All engines are straight-4 engines.

The Mitsubishi Silver Pigeon is a series of scooters made in Japan by Mitsubishi between 1946 and 1963. The first was the C-10, based on a scooter imported from the United States by Koujiro Maruyama, which began production at the Nagoya Machinery Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.Along with the Mizushima three wheeler pickup truck it represented Mitsubishi's first contributions to the Japanese post-war personal transport boom.

The Silver Pigeon proved sufficiently successful to remain in production for almost twenty years. Motor Cyclist magazine voted it "best in styling" for three consecutive years in the 1950s, a decade after its introduction, while from 1950 to 1964 it maintained an average 45 percent share of the domestic scooter market.By the time production came to an end in 1963 over 463,000 had been manufactured, with the 1960 C-200 proving the most popular individual model, with almost 38,000 sales.

The Mitsubishi Raider is a pickup truck from Mitsubishi Motors that debuted in the fall of 2005 as a 2006 model for the United States market and is based largely on the Dodge Dakota. The name is recycled from the Dodge Raider SUV sold from 1987 to 1990, which was a rebadged Mitsubishi Montero.

The Raider filled the gap in the Mitsubishi lineup since the discontinuation of the Mighty Max in 1996. The Raider is built in the United States by Chrysler. Engine choices included a 4.7 L PowerTech V8 making 230 hp and 290 ft·lbf and a 3.7 L PowerTech V6 which produced 210 hp.

377 and 492 units were sold in January and February 2006 respectively, compared to 4,583 and 6,260 Dakotas. Mitsubishi dealers reportedly had a six-month supply of Raiders on their lots, and the company asked DaimlerChrysler to cut production.9,861 Raiders were built in 2005, and just 297 more were built from the first of the year through March 11, 2006.Approximately 8,200 Raiders were sold in 2007. The Raider is not currently available in Canada, where the brand has only sold since roughly 2003.

Recently a concept truck was rebadged as the Street Raider and designed by Mitsubishi's California design studio. It first appeared at the 2005 SEMA automotive show and since then has been shown at various automotive shows around the United States. It includes 22 inch custom wheels, custom dual exhaust, and a lowered stance among other features not found on a stock Raider. The Street Raider carries a mooted price tag of $60,000, although there are no current plans to sell it.
