Concept: TARMAC SPYDER
Wheelbase: 2,500 mm
Length: 3,850 mm
Width: 1,750 mm
Height: 1,420 mm
Engine: 1.5-liter inline-4 GDI intercooler/turbocharger
What the automaker says: "This proposal for a classy and sophisticated 4-door city car also offers plenty for the motoring enthusiast with road performance and cockpit design exuding the spirit of Mitsubishi Motors' WRC winning rally machines."

Basically, the Tarmac Spyder is Mitsu's attempt to see what a Lancer Evolution would look like if it didn't look so boring. The result: ugly. Underneath the Tarmac Spyder is all Evo, of which Mitsubishi then chopped off the top and pressed some pretty questionable sheetmetal in place to make what it calls "the visual design vocabulary that consumers can expect to see on future compact segment products from Mitsubishi." We hope not.
