The redesigned 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder convertible, which goes on sale in March, has a base price of $25,984, including shipping. The base GS model has a 2.4-liter inline-four engine that can produce 162 hp. It is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

The 3.8-liter V-6 engine in the GT model makes 260 hp and is mated to a six-speed manual. Its price starts at $28,864, including shipping. Mitsubishi Motors North America expects sales to be evenly split between the two models.

Designed to appeal to convertible and sports car enthusiasts of all ages, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT echoes the concept-car design of its coupe sibling with sleek, taut, muscular lines and engaging details such as bright finish LED tail lamps and monocle-lens head lamps.

“The new Eclipse Spyder GT captures the essence of Mitsubishi by offering customers a stand-out design and performance at an affordable price,” said Rich Gilligan, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America. “Its high-quality automatic top makes Eclipse Spyder GT a convertible for all seasons and is more like a top you would expect to see on a $40,000 car than one that starts at under $26,000.”

The Eclipse Spyder GT challenges more expensive sports models with its 260-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine mated to either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic. The GT’s 258 lb-ft of peak torque gives this model “right now” off-the-line response. With the standard six-speed manual transmission, the Spyder GT can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about seven seconds.

The 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT arrives in Mitsubishi dealerships in April.
