The iconic Ralliart nameplate has been revived, but performance fans will likely be disappointed with the model range on offer.
Mitsubishi has revived its ‘Ralliart’ performance nameplate – but, for now at least, cars with the badging don’t include a single performance upgrade.
The iconic nameplate first appeared as the Japanese manufacturer’s factory-backed motorsport team in the mid-1980s, however eventually made it onto road-going performance models.
For now the Ralliart branding is limited to sports-themed variants of the Triton ute and Pajero Sport SUV sold in Thailand – pitched as rivals to Toyota GR Sport models, including the HiLux – and Ralliart-badged vehicles do not pick up a power increase.
Instead, the vehicles are equipped with a sticker pack, trim highlights, and red mudflaps.
Drive has contacted a spokesperson for Mitsubishi in Australia for comment on the possibility of local deliveries. This story will be updated if more information becomes available.
He has maintained a primary focus on industry trends, autonomous technology, electric vehicle regulations, and local environmental policy.
As the newest addition to the Drive team, William was brought onboard for his attention to detail, writing skills, and strong work ethic.
Despite writing for a diverse range of outlets – including the Australian Financial Review, Robb Report, and Property Observer – since completing his media degree at Macquarie University, William has always had a passion for cars.
