Last Mitsubishi Eclipse to be Auctioned; Money to Japanese Red Cross

As the last Mitsubishi Eclipse, marked as a one-off version, goes off to auction; it will surely be missed by its avid fans. The car model also bears a combination of 3.8L/265 HP V-6 engine along with the commemorative Special Edition package. Contradictory, the members of the car manufacturer’s Facebook page has specifically chosen a Kalapana Black color which has been derived from the rich historical palette of the world renowned Mitsubishi vehicle.

This particular model has been fitted with unique graphics and special 18-inch Dark Agent alloy wheels. Moreover, it has been optimized with a 650W Rockford Fosgate 9 speaker audio system with Sirius XM, leather interior, hands free Bluetooth phone interface, sunroof, HID headlights and rear view camera. Truly, this makes the Eclipse a great buy!

For the past 22 years, Mitsubishi has received a favorable applause from the public with their production of the Eclipse. As a matter of fact, it has received its own status of cool that no other vehicle of its range comes close to. This is particularly true to the first two generations of the Eclipse model. In totality, Mitsubishi has been able to sell approximately 980,000 units of the Eclipse, placing it as one of the highest selling coupes throughout history.

But after producing the unsuccessful third generation redesign in 2000, the popularity of the coupe car has reached a hiatus for the Eclipse. Even though the succeeding generation was able to alleviate some issues seen with the latter, the damage has already been done.

In an effort to support victims of the earlier earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan, the money raised from the auction of the last Eclipse will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross.
