The X2S, a fully drivable two-seat sports car, features bodywork designed by the Mitsubishi Motor Corp. Cypress Design Studio in Cypress, California. The sleek, honed Mitsubishi X2S concept car was recently introduced to car enthusiasts at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
The open-cockpit roadster features an ergonomically styled interior with analog instrumentation and fighter plane-type controls. Custom parchment leather and a high-tech audio system with a compact disc player are also featured. The X2S is powered by a 2-liter, double overhead camshaft, 16-valve turbocharged, and inter-cooled engine capable of producing almost 200 horsepower.
Basic design elements of the X2S will be incorporated into an X2S sports specialty car produced by Diamond-Star Motors Corp., of Normal, Ill., and distributed by Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America in 1989. It will be the first American-built Mitsubishi.
