Engine

2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four

Performance

220 PS (162 kW) at 6,000 rpm, and 0 to 97 km/h in 5.9 seconds as timed by Car and Driver in 1987

Chassis

Engine at the front and gearbox at the rear give almost even weight distribution, 50.7 per cent front and 49.3 per cent rear. Two counter-rotating balance shafts turning at twice engine speed cancel the secondary vibration of a 4-cylinder; Porsche could not better the arrangement Mitsubishi had patented and paid the licence instead, about seven to eight dollars a car. The Turbo takes its brakes from the 911, with four-piston Brembo calipers and twelve-inch discs, and its headers, crossover pipe and downpipe are Inconel.
