The Eclipse GT gains standard 18-inch alloy wheels for 2008, and the SE Package now includes Active Skid Control (ASC). SIRIUS(R) Satellite Radio is now added with the available Rockford-Fosgate(R) Premium Audio system, including six month complimentary service. All models for 2008 gain a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Eclipse is offered as the GS and the high-performance GT. The GS is powered by a 162-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine teamed to a five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic. The GT's 3.8-liter V-6 produces 263 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. peak torque and is teamed with a standard six-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. Both Eclipse engines employ the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) system to help optimize efficiency and power across a broad engine speed range.
Both Eclipse automatic transmissions feature Sportronic(TM) shifters to allow manual gearshift control.
A rigid platform enables the four-wheel independent suspension to give the Eclipse sporty road manners and a compliant, comfortable ride. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on all models, with anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), plus larger, ventilated rear discs on the GT.
Eclipse combines exotic-looking interior design with long-distance comfort and safety, including standard advanced dual-stage front air bags, seat-mounted side air bags and front seat curtain side air bags. Eclipse's high-back front bucket seats, inspired by Mitsubishi involvement in motorsports, feature integrated, open head restraints for a sporty look and enhanced rear visibility. The 50:50 split-folding rear seatbacks provide cargo versatility.
The available 650-watt (max.) Rockford-Fosgate(R) Premium Audio system combines AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback capability, PUNCH(R) control, a six-disc, in-dash CD changer, a 10-in. subwoofer, and SIRIUS(R) Satellite Radio. It is one of the most powerful factory-installed mobile audio systems available and plays all types of music with stunning clarity and impact.
