That's right, children, there
are other car shows coming up in addition to Frankfurt. In October, everybody heads to Tokyo, where Mitsubishi will unveil a sporty electric coupe based on the
i MIEV they're currently piloting with power companies in Japan, as well as a new sedan concept called the Concept-ZT. If we had to guess, the ZT's styling foretells the next
Galant. If that's indeed the case, it's an improvement.
The i MIEV Sport looks like an i up front, but the rest of the bodywork takes on a coupe profile. Like the regular (if you can call an experimental electric car that) i MIEV, the Sport uses a rear-midship layout, with the Li-Ion battery back under the passenger floor and other components in back beneath the luggage compartment. A pair of in-wheel motors drives the front wheels, and the motor packaged in back drives the rears. The car is painted in Mitsubishi's shade of what we here like to call "Subliminal Message Green," and the interior makes use of the company's Green Plastics, which we'll see first on the
Concept-cX in Frankfurt. In short: a little odd-looking, but cool. Just like the regular i.
Follow the jump for the Concept-ZT.
