Theme Tuesdays: Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon

Apr 30, 2013

I must be feeling a little nostalgic with the next Fast & The Furious around the corner because it occurred to me the other night that I’ve never done a Theme Tuesday on the Mitsubishi Eclipse (Eagle Talon) before.

In my opinion the first two generations are the best looking so they make up the bulk of today’s post but a fourth generation did manage to squeak in there.

Tyrese ruined the third generation.

eagle_talon_2 — After all these years I’m still a big sucker for the RPF-1

Really hope to see this car at CSCS again this year

eagle_talon_4 — Older photo but the wheel choice is still quite relevant

eagle_talon_20 — Had to include one car with Hoosier tires on all four corners

eagle_talon_21 — Function and form are about even with this car

eagle_talon_10 — Simple, clean and (judging by Emilio’s watermark) local

eagle_talon_1 — This all came together pretty nice

eagle_talon_6 — Posted some photos of this car back in February

eagle_talon_5 — I do believe I have posted this one previously as well

eagle_talon_9 — Local spyder on what look to be Stance wheels

eagle_talon_11 — Fairly subtle two tone here, almost missed it at first glance

eagle_talon_12 — Blood red Advans look great here

eagle_talon_14 — Black seems to be a reoccurring colour…

eagle_talon_16 — Some class out of texas

eagle_talon_17 — This car looks great and think I recall it receiving a magazine feature at one point

eagle_talon_15 — Same car different angle

eagle_talon_19 — Turns out Saleen Wheels look great on the Eclipse, who knew?

eagle_talon_7 — Found this surprisingly over on NASIOC

eagle_talon_8 — I suppose one could say it’s got a bit of styling borrowed from the Subaru community

These cars are awesome… they look great, they’re easy to modify, they can be made to be very fast and they’re equipped with the bombproof 4G63 Mitsubishi engine. Win.

My gosh. The DSM in that very first pic is, quite simply, the best looking car on planet Earth. Who owns this beauty?

The Eclipse from the third photo is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. And look, it’s already 2018 … There was a slight change in the wheels and the airfoil and nothing more. I found it extremely beautiful without needing to appeal, mainly because the car already has its aesthetics naturally flashy.
