Remember the Mitsubishi Eclipse, a sport compact car produced from 1989 until 2011? If so, then you’re most likely expecting a successor in one form or another. Automotive designers Advait Taware and Karan Adivi shows us what a modern all-electric version could look like. This modular concept consists of both a passenger capsule as well as a driver module, with the latter being able to be folded up and charged at home.

Unlike other rescue vehicles, the modular, fully autonomous MitsubishiI.RQ is powered by a fuel-cell drive, inspired by the current high-floored 4WD variation of the light-duty Canter truck. These technologies enable it to safely conduct rescue activities in difficult situations such as snowy or mountainous areas. Body pieces can quickly be swapped depending on scenario and purposes.

Priced at $80,923, the UK-exclusive Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 is touted as the “fastest and most extreme version of Mitsubishi’s motorsport derived machine.” It’s powered by an upgraded 2L inline-4 engine that produces an incredible 403hp @ 6500rpm and 387lb-ft torque @ 3500rpm.

To achieve the incredible 403bhp from just 2.0-litres Mitsubishi has had to significantly revise the FQ-400’s advanced powerplant. Motorsport specification high-flow fuel injectors are fitted to the aluminium cylinder head and a new hybrid turbocharger is also fitted.

The FQ400’s “turbocharged 2.0-liter 4B11 will put out approximately 405 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to a new turbo, retuned ECU and center-exit exhaust.” Limited to just 100-units, priced at $75,000. Click here for first picture in gallery.

In addition to six-pot calipers, upgraded brakes and 18-inch wheels, the FQ400 will feature a new aero kit that includes additional cooling intakes, vents, a larger air intake in the hood and ducts cut into the side skirts to aid rear brake cooling.
