The i is a Japanese keicar model from Mitsubishi Motors. The showcar's premiere was at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003. Another concept car based on the i showcar, known as Se-ro, was displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show in the same year. The i will be available in Japan starting in 2006.
i stands for I(myself) and innovation.Description
The Mitsubishi i has a rear-midship engine layout and a 4-speed automatic transmission. This, in conjunction with the very long wheelbase (2.55m) and single box design by Olivier Boulay, leads to a spacious passenger compartment compared to its competitors.
The 4-stroke I3 engine has a displacement of 660 cc, a DOHC cylinder head with variable valve timing and a turbocharger with intercooler. It has an output of 47 kW (64 hp).
With the engine's Start-Stop-System, the i is the first car in the world which fulfills the "3 litre" regulations for gasoline engines. This means the fuel-consumption is only 3.0 L per 100 km or, in other words, it will run 33 km per litre of fuel.
It is expected that the i will perform well in crash tests because there will be no engine to intrude into the passenger cabin in head-on collisions. Technical data
