New Galant Fortis Released in Japan!!!

[naughtika]

is this true? 10g Galant.. Fulltime 4WD.. released in Japan just last month?!?

found the info from www.zerotohundred.com

linky

some quick pics

too bad it's 4 cylinder.. I think I prefer the small caliber high output v6 engine..

also the brakes still needs an upgrade.. twin pot floating calipers...

what do you guys think?

Thats the new lancer, it is just badged galant over there because it has the same wheelbase as an 8G. It is about 300mm shorter overall though.

The ralliart model doesn't have AYC which imho makes the evo worth the extra money

 

[naughtika]

crap.. i got excited over nothing..

I wonder if it'll ever be released here

 

[frozen]

evo x = the better version of the same car... also im pretty sure the ralliart lancer (4b11t detuned and no ayc) will also be released when the evo x is.

 

[bradc]

what, you guys don't have the evo x yet? They've been here for like 6 months now!

 

[leebutts]

Yeah they have been released here - but I haven't seen one yet, I'm not sure if there's a waiting list or not.

 

[bradc]

I've seen like 10 of them, been for a drive in a white rally spec one (with no plates or rego!) and fiddled with an SST one at a mitsi outlet

 

[naughtika]

it's got acd ad rear LSD

Acd's got 3 settings - Tarmac, gravel and snow

 

[Kristian]

It could have 20 settings, my new car will still tear it a new A lol

But yes, Lancer with a different badge. Been out in Japan for a little while now.

 

[J-B]

dont suppose you want to fill us in on the new car Kristian?

*mmurrhh mirrhh, mruuugh*

 

[Kristian]

^^lol. J-B if I come to a VR-4 meet again I'll let you know

 

[J-B]

YAY

 

[bradc]

It is going to be a GT-R surely? Only car that is that much better than an EVO to come out of Japan

 

[Kristian]

Can someone finally make bradc a moderator???

 

[SiliconAngel]

LOL you just want the excuse to tell him and bask in the glory of his admiration

Don't worry Kris - soon enough there'll be so much admiration from people all over the planet you'll need sunscreen so you don't get burnt by the intensity!

 

[Kristian]

lol, don't talk it up too much, everyone will be disappointed when it's finally revealed.

I just know bradc will appreciate it for what it is.
