The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (4G) is a front-wheel drive sports car and the highest trim level of the Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G from 2006 to 2011.

The 4G Eclipse GT is powered by a 260 hp 3.8L 6G75 V6 engine which was previously equipped in the third generation Mitsubishi Pajero. A convertible variant known as the Eclipse GT Spyder was also produced.

The styling of the 4G Eclipse is heavily influenced by the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept E. Production of the 4G Eclipse GT started in 2006. There have been three facelifts in 2009, 2011, and 2012. The facelift of 2009 was the only one to have engine revisions.

Need for Speed: World

The Mitsubishi Eclipse GT was made available in Need for Speed: World during the Taiwan restricted test session on October 14, 2009 as a tier 1 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a E class vehicle.

The Eclipse GT is best described as one of the slowest cars in the game. Its main weakness is its handling. The car is prone to understeer and turns slower than a Mazda Mazdaspeed3. Its acceleration and top speed (124 mph/200 km/h) are not impressive either.
