Mitsubishi launched its latest Ralliart tuner model, built on the bones of its restyled 2007 Gallant mid-sized sedan. It's probably the most understated of the Ralliart concepts, looks-wise, and powered by the usual suspect — a MIVEC-tweaked 258-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine. A sport suspension and 18" alloys belie a relatively un-motorsports-like zero-to-60 time in the seven-second range. No surprise, then, that it's no concept. Mitsu will offer the Galant Ralliart alongside the model's three additional trim levels. The Ralliart edition also gets standard perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, heated front seats, automatic climate control system, power glass sunroof and aluminum pedals, plus factory-installed Rockford Acoustic Design premium audio system. The older kids will dig it.
