Useless trivia

So sue me if yez all know this already!

According to wikipedia:

Models
All FTOs were made front wheel drived with either a 4 cylinder engine, or a transversely mounted V6. The body only came in a 2 door coupe version. The front bumper was changed in 1997, but the rest of the body remained the same. A convertible version was never made.

An electric version, the FTO-EV, was produced by Mitsubishi Motors in 1998 as an experimental vehicle. The car utilised high-performance lithium-ion battery power and set a multiple-charge 24-hour distance world record.


I don't think it ever sold - duracells were costing too much!

Except in Barbados right :wink: There was a guy who converted his FTO to a convertible. Anyone seen or heard of this recently ? I remember it from a few years back.

I thought it was just photochopped? It would be a great shape car to actually make convertible though...
