The Mitsubishi FTO, produced from 1994 to 2000, was a stylish and sporty coupé that aimed to capture the hearts of driving enthusiasts. While not as widely known as its Japanese rivals like the Honda NSX or Toyota Supra, the FTO offered a unique blend of practicality and performance. Its sleek, low-slung body, designed by famed automotive designer Tomio Sugita, featured distinctive pop-up headlights and a sloping roofline that hinted at its sporty intentions. Under the hood, the FTO was powered by a range of potent four-cylinder engines, including a turbocharged 1.8-liter unit that delivered impressive acceleration and handling. This engine, coupled with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, provided a thrilling driving experience, further enhanced by the FTO's independent suspension and precise steering.

The interior of the FTO was well-appointed, featuring comfortable bucket seats, a functional dashboard layout, and a generous amount of space for both driver and passenger. While the FTO was designed as a two-door coupé, its clever packaging allowed for surprisingly good cargo space, making it surprisingly practical for everyday use. Despite its sporty nature, the FTO also featured several safety features such as anti-lock brakes, dual airbags, and side impact beams, ensuring a secure driving environment. However, the FTO's production run was relatively short, and it was ultimately discontinued in 2000, leaving behind a legacy of passionate owners and a loyal following who appreciate its unique blend of style, performance, and practicality. The Factory Service & Shop Manual for the 1998-2000 model years serves as a valuable resource for mechanics and enthusiasts alike, offering detailed information on maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting for this distinctive and desirable Japanese coupé.
