Rising up as youngsters, we regularly dream about Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche. Rising up in a modest household means you will not be capable of personal one instantly. Whereas some hand over on that dream and purchase an everyday, boring automotive, others push on and select the bumpy highway. Venture vehicles are a curse and a blessing, relying on the way you deal with the entire thing. They are going to put you thru hell through the construct and if something goes incorrect (and issues go incorrect usually).
However they may even make you’re feeling distinctive inside while you’re driving. Earlier right now, I confirmed you an thrilling battle across the racetrack between a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a McLaren 750S. However I wasn’t going to skip on the chance of seeing how a tuned Mitsubishi Eclipse can faire in opposition to Tesla’s Cybertruck. Earlier than leaping into the primary occasion, let’s get a fast overview of what these vehicles can do.
The Cybertruck you see right here is the mid-level mannequin, which means it has a dual-motor setup and AWD. If that is the primary time you’ve got seen the numbers, they’re 600 hp, 6,603 lbs (2,995 kg), and a 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) time of simply over 4 seconds. It’ll high out at 112 mph (180 kph), reducing it shut for right now’s race. Within the different nook, we have got a superb previous ICE-powered Mitsubishi Eclipse with loads of upgrades to make it worthy of the problem.
It isn’t as shiny as Paul Walker’s Eclipse from The Quick and the Livid, nevertheless it must do. You may name this one a GSX or an Eclipse “Evo”, as a result of it has two of the primary parts required: a turbocharged 4G63 engine (off on an Evo VIII) and AWD. At 440 hp, it is not fairly as potent because the Cybertruck, nevertheless it weighs lower than half of the massive EV. These ICE vs. Battery wars have been occurring for some time now.
And by now, we’re all conscious of what is going to occur over the primary part of the problem. The Eclipse solely stands an opportunity past a sure level, however the driver should be spot-on with the gearshifts to get there. Prefer it or not, expertise has come a good distance because the ’90s. Certain, you’ll be able to say that fashionable vehicles haven’t any soul, however that does not imply they’re gradual. Both means, by the tip of this race, Elon will undoubtedly achieve a number of extra admirers.
