The 1998 Mitsubishi FTO, a sporty two-door coupe, was a captivating blend of performance and elegance. Its sleek, aerodynamic design, featuring a low-slung profile, distinctive pop-up headlights, and a sloping rear window, turned heads wherever it went. Underneath the stylish exterior lay a potent engine—a 1.8-liter, 4G93, 16-valve, DOHC engine, available in naturally aspirated or turbocharged variants. The naturally aspirated version delivered a respectable 138 horsepower, while the turbocharged model unleashed an impressive 197 horsepower. The FTO was praised for its responsive engine, sharp handling, and engaging driving experience. It offered a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions, further enhancing its performance and driver enjoyment.

However, the 1998 FTO was more than just a stylish and powerful coupe. It was also renowned for its innovative features. It was the first Mitsubishi model to introduce the company's "INVECS-II" electronically controlled automatic transmission system, which offered smoother gear changes and improved fuel efficiency. Additionally, the FTO incorporated a unique "Active Yaw Control" system that electronically controlled the engine torque and brake pressure to improve traction and handling stability during cornering. These innovative technologies contributed to the FTO's reputation as a sophisticated and advanced sports car. Sadly, the FTO, despite its popularity in Japan, never saw a proper release in North America. This limited its global impact and made finding parts and information a bit more challenging. However, the FTO continues to hold a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts, who appreciate its unique blend of performance, style, and engineering ingenuity. The 1998 FTO Workshop Repair Manual, a valuable resource for owners and mechanics, provides comprehensive information on maintaining and repairing this remarkable vehicle.
