Notes

The Mitsubishi FTO GPX Turbo is a front-wheel-drive sports coupe powered by a 2.0-liter V6 MIVEC engine with turbocharging, producing 197 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. It features a 5-speed manual transmission and rides on 17-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires sized 225/45 front and rear, contributing to its balanced handling characteristics. Weighing approximately 2,645 pounds, the FTO offers a top speed near 140 mph.

This model delivers a responsive driving experience with its turbocharged V6 and manual gearbox, emphasizing agility and control on street circuits. The front-wheel-drive layout, combined with performance-oriented tires, provides predictable handling, though it may require careful throttle management to minimize understeer during spirited driving. Its compact dimensions and relatively light weight support nimble cornering and quick directional changes.

On the track and in tuning circles, the FTO GPX Turbo is a solid platform for modifications, especially in enhancing power delivery and suspension setup. Its turbocharged engine responds well to upgrades, and the availability of quality tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 aids in maximizing grip. While not a high-end track car, it offers enthusiasts a capable and engaging base for street racing and weekend track use.
