of all time!

有史以來!

A dark horse that was overshadowed by its much cooler,

一匹黑馬 , 但因為它酷炫的外觀...

much more popular, jock brother.

而顯得黯然失色

Sound familiar Lars?

聽起來很像的Lars嗎？

It was born from an unlikely marriage,

它誕生於不太尋常的婚姻

and fought to put fear in the hearts of muscle cars

並且努力地在全美加速賽上 將恐懼放入那些肌肉車的心中

at drag strips all over the United States.

儘管有其驗證過的血統...

And despite its proven pedigree,

以及它實際幫助革新進口文化的事實

and the fact that it helped revolutionize import culture,

兩次!

twice, it's still looked down upon today.

今天仍然被看不起

This is everything you need to know, to get up to speed,

這是你該知道的一切 | Up to Speed

on the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

今天來談談Mitsubishi Eclipse

(80's chiptune music)

在70年代和80年代初期

In the 70's and early 80's

克萊斯勒正在進口省油的三菱

Chrysler was importing fuel efficient Mitsubishis

並將它們重新塑造成克萊斯勒

and rebranding them as Chryslers.

作為回報 三菱也獨立成為了一家公司

In return, Mitsubishi got to grow as a company.

但是三菱想要通過自己的經銷商...

But Mitsubishi wanted to sell directly to Americans

直接賣給美國人

through their own dealer network.

唯一的問題...

The only problem, was that Japanese brands

就是日本品牌有自願限制有多少輛車

had a voluntary restriction on how many cars

他們可以帶到美國

they could bring to the United States.

如果您想了解更多相關信息

If you want to learn more about this,

可以觀看我們的Integra集數

watch our Integra episode.

我將在說明欄留下連結

I'll leave a link in the description.

無論如何

Anyway, Mitsubishi and Chrysler decided that it would be

三菱和克萊斯勒決定...

more profitable if Mitsubishi built more models in the US,

如果三菱在克萊斯勒的幫助下 在美國有更多型號

with help from Chrysler.

能夠有更大的利潤

This partnership was called Diamond Star Motors,

這個合作關係被稱為...

or DSM,

或是

taking its name from the pointy logos shared by both brands.

名字取自於兩個品牌同樣尖尖的標誌

DSM would build a new factory in Normal, Illinois,

DSM將在伊利諾伊州的Normal 建立一個新的工廠

and the first car they would build would be a two door,

而他們造第一輛車 將會是一輛雙門

four cylinder coupe.

四缸轎跑車

The Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Lazer are all

基本上都是同一輛車

pretty much the same car,

我想說他們基本上都是參考Eclipse

and I'm just gonna refer to them as the Eclipse.

好吧, 對 ,它們是有點不同 但不是很多

OK, right, they're a little different, but not by much.

Eclipse於1989年首次亮相 並擁有四個不同版本

The Eclipse debuted in 1989 and came in four trim levels.

GST和GSX是最值得擁有的版本

The GST and GSX being the absolute ones to have.

為什麼？

Why?

嗯..我不知道 也許吧因為它們是由同一顆...

Um...I don't know, maybe because they were powered by one

最好、最耐用的四缸引擎嗎？

of the finest and most durable four cylinder engines ever?

聽起來耳熟嗎？

The 4G63T.

這相同渦輪增壓的四缸引擎 也同樣出現在...

Sound familiar?

frickin' EVO !

It's the same turbocharged four cylinder engine that powered

我有史以來最愛的五款車之一

the frickin' EVO!

你們現在還不認識我嗎?

(engine backfire sounds)

4G63作為改裝的基礎

One of my top five favorite cars ever.

讓Eclipse一躍成為最有淺力 成為最強勁的改裝車

Do you guys even frickin' know me?

有史以來!

The 4G63 is the foundation on which tuners

引擎不是唯一 Eclipse和EVO共享的

would build the Eclipse into one of the most capable

雖然GST是前輪驅動

tuner cars of all time.

Eclipse GSX帶有全時四驅

The engine wasn't the only thing the Eclipse and EVO shared.

全時四驅同樣可以在EVO III中找到

While the GST was front wheel drive,

這意味著Eclipse基本上就是台...

the Eclipse GSX came with all wheel drive.

雙門EVO

(engine roaring)

"Whoa..."

The same all wheel drive found in the EVO Three.

那麼大多數人對這有改裝淺力...

This means that the Eclipse is basically

渦輪增壓的雙門轎跑

a two door EVO.

且有全時四驅能有良好抓地力 在美國有怎樣的待遇呢?

- (in tandem) Whoa...

他們把它帶到直線賽上了!

- So what did most people do with the hyper tunerable,

保留雙線柏油路是為了那些

turbocharged two door coupe with tons of grip

帶著大引擎的美國肌肉車

from all wheel drive, made in the US of A?

它們的後輪胎比Jessica's的粗眉毛的寬

They took her to the drag strip!

但是當Eclipse進入現場時...

(engine roars)

賽車手在那裡看到了另一種可能的選擇

Before the two lane blacktop was reserved

Eclipse在1995年式完全的翻新

for American muscle cars with big block engines,

它有一個更光滑的車身

and rear tires wider than Jessica's unibrow.

現在4G63T的可達210匹馬力

But when the Eclipse came onto the scene,

這輛車出現在你能想得到的 每款賽車遊戲

racers saw that there could be an alternative.

實感賽車、跑車浪漫旅、極限競速

The Eclipse was completely refreshed

當然還有, 極速快感 : 地下狂飆

for the 1995 model year.

♪到窗戶，到牆上♪

It had a sleeker body,

美國調諧器場景可以拆分

and the 4G63T now made 210 horsepower.

而Eclipse則是 值得注意的是

This car was in every racing game you can think of.

它幫助他們擺脫了。

Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, the Forza games,

在第一個改裝文化的時期 就是Eclipse和本田

and of course, Need for Speed Underground.

或跟這四個人一樣 福斯

♪ To the windows, to the wall ♪

我只知道他們幾個

The American tuner scene can be split

有我

into two distinct time periods.

Ross

And the Eclipse is notable in the fact that

Cam

it helped set them both off.

和Nick

In the first era, tuning culture was Eclipses, Hondas,

Ross, 抱歉我在紐約時沒辦法見你

and like, four guys with VW's.

但因為這一部電影的發行

I knew all of them.

打開了對所有日本車的閘門

There was me,

並代表開始了一個新的改裝時代

Ross,

2011年的Fast Track: No Limits

Cam,

開玩笑的 , 是玩命關頭

and Nick.

玩命關頭在2001年6月22日發行

Ross, I'm sorry we couldn't see each other

而幾乎在那之後

when I was in New York.

改裝和Eclipse成為主流

But it was the release of one film

在保羅沃克系列中的最第一個場景

that opened the floodgates for all Japanese cars,

他正在道奇體育場停車場 駕駛1995年的Eclipse

and marked the beginning of a new tuning age.

特別的是這台Eclipse的引擎並不是4G63

2011's Fast Track: No Limits.

但Dodge Neon的420A

JK, it was The Fast and The Furious.

但這些都不重要

The Fast and The Furious was released on June 22nd, 2001,

因為玩命關頭推出之後

and almost immediately after,

過去的改裝都成了***

tuning, and the Eclipse, went mainstream.

大約十年間每個人和他們的老媽

In Paul Walker's very first scene in the series,

尤其是我媽

he's driving a 1995 Eclipse

都裝上了誇張到爆的空力套件

in the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

車上有巨大的尾翼以及車底燈

This Eclipse in particular was not powered by the 4G63,

這是100％都是因為玩命關頭

but a 420A from the Dodge Neon.

這些在汽車世界上經常被冠上的就是死亡...

But none of that mattered,

但在這些談話中所喪失的則是....

because after The Fast and Furious came out,

Eclipse在其中的貢獻

tuning was the (bleep)!

它成為了第二波改裝情景的浪潮

For about 10 years everyone and their mom,

Eclipse又回來了 2004年玩命關頭2:飆風再起

my mom in particular,

♪ I'm too fast for y'all ♪

was putting aero-boonie body kits,

雖然這是不是由Brian來開 但它仍然是一輛英雄車

giant wings and underglow on their cars,

有大量的銀幕時間

and that is 100 percent because of The Fast and Furious.

我知道紫色的並不那麼酷 , 但是...

The franchise's effect on the car world has been

試著想一想

talked about to death, but something that gets lost

Eclipse存在就為了改裝文化的...

in the conversation is the Eclipse's contribution.

創新以及復興

It helped set off the second wave of the tuning scene.

卻沒有功勞?

The Eclipse came back in 2004's 2 Fast 2 Furious.

為什麼？

♪ I'm too fast for y'all ♪

因為它出現像是嗚咽 而不是砰的一聲

It wasn't Brian's this time but it was still a hero car

當人們看到Brian O'Connor的時候

with a ton of screen time.

在電影院裡的檸檬綠Eclipse

The purple one wasn't as cool, I know, but

三菱已經對Eclipse進行了改款

think about it.

新的2000年式

The Eclipse was there for the genesis

與克萊斯勒的合作關係也結束了

and the renaissance of tuning culture,

這個Eclipse不再是DSM

but none of the credit.

車子開始失去魅力了

Why?

全時驅 , 沒錯 這不再是一種選擇

Because it went out with a whimper, not a bang.

那麼 , 4G63怎麼樣？

(groans)

沒了

By the time people saw Brian O'Connor's

最強大的第三代Eclipse

lime green Eclipse in theaters,

配備210馬力的V6引擎

Mitsubishi had already updated the Eclipse

其實跟4G63T差不多

for the 2000 model year.

但它幾乎不可調教

Their partnership with Chrysler had ended so,

懸吊也被設定為

this Eclipse was no longer a DSM,

更柔軟，更舒適

and the car was beginning to lose its charm.

它變得沒那麼運動化 但因為第一代和第二代不是

All whee drive, yeah, that's no longer an option.

所以它也不應該是

Well, what about the 4G63?

- 那真是太糟糕了

Nope.

如果你想要一個以性能為導向

At its most powerful, the third gen Eclipse

渦輪增壓，全輪驅動的三菱

came with a 210 horsepower V6 engine,

你就得要買EVO

which was about the same as the 4G63T,

最終於2003年來到美國

but it wasn't nearly as tunable.

Eclipse於2006年再次改款

The suspension was also set up to be

具有造型的靈感來自於第二代

softer and more comfortable.

和一個新的263馬力引擎

It wasn't as sporty as the first and second gen because

它有一匹專門的擁護者 但這明顯不夠

it wasn't supposed to be.

自首次亮相以來銷售額持續下降

- That is a bummer.

在生產的最後一年

- If you wanted a performance oriented,

三菱僅售出1,173輛Eclipses

turbocharged, all wheel drive Mitsubishi,

但這並不是Eclipse的終點

you had to get the EVO

回到2016年就有謠言 (原影片上傳日期:2018年3月15日)

which finally came to America in 2003.

這車將會回歸

The Eclipse was updated again in 2006

三菱會帶著雙門性能轎跑車...

with styling that was inspired by the second generation car,

迎接新一波平價性能車嗎？

and a new 263 horsepower engine.

浪潮要開始了

It had a dedicated following, but that wasn't enough

要開始了

to keep sales from declining ever since its debut year.

我得說實話 , 我曾經很樂觀

In its final year of production,

我知道 , 我應該學習到 永遠不要抱有希望

Mitsubishi only sold 1,173 Eclipses.

"你知道如果可以我會帶你一起走"

But that wasn't the end for the Eclipse.

我天真的想法將在明年被擊沉

Back in like, 2016 there were rumors

當三菱確認新的Eclipse將是...

that the car would be back.

跨界SUV

Would Mitsubishi bring back the two door performance coupe

真的？

to take on the new wave of budget performance cars?

真的是三菱嗎？

The wave that it frickin' started.

一輛SUV？

It started it.

一輛SUV？

And I'll be honest, I was optimistic.

你已經擁有了Outlander

I know, I should learn by now, never get your hopes up.

那是一輛SUV

- You know I'd take you with me if I could.

為什麼？

- My naive thinking was shot down the next year

你為什麼要這麼做 將Eclipse做成......

when Mitsubishi confirmed that the new Eclipse would be

我懂甚麼 我沒辦法理解 , 算了

(screaming and grunting)

Supra、RX7、Skyline

a crossover SUV.

甚至是三菱自己的 EVO都是傳奇的改裝車

Really?

都些都得感謝玩命關頭

Really Mitsubishi?

以及它所創造的世界級的現象

An SUV?

♪ Do doo, do doo doo ♪

An SUV?

現象

You already have the Outlander,

♪ Do doo doo do ♪

which is, an SUV.

但為什麼不是Eclipse？

Why?

嗯 , 這很簡單

Why did you have to bring the Eclipse into...

Eclipse的壽命更長

(soft chuckle)

與玩命關頭的其他弟兄不同

Know what, I don't understand and that's fine.

它沒死

The Supra, the RX7, the Skyline,

它被維持了12年的生命週期

and even Mitsubishi's own EVO are legendary tuner cars

以DSM名稱為生

that live on thanks to The Fast and The Furious,

敬仰的人們對那輛車的敬意

and the scene that it made a worldwide phenomemon.

三菱再次這麼做

♪ Do doo, do doo doo ♪

但這次多了新跨界的東西

- Phenomenon.

Eclipse是款具開創性的車款

♪ Do doo doo do ♪

在更多方面 , 它並沒獲得功勞

- But why not the Eclipse?

從原先進口 , 到在伊利諾伊州生產

Well it's simple really,

而我認為那是另一個人們看不起它的原因

the Eclipse lived longer.

從技術上講 , 這不是JDM

Unlike it's Fast and Furious brethren,

它不會永遠遙不可及 , 或充滿異國情調

it didn't die.

但這並沒有阻止它從成為有史以來...

It was kept on life support for 12 years.

來最重要的改裝車
