The Thai Motor Expo 2021 is on and Mitsubishi Motors took the opportunity to reintroduce the Ralliart brand there.
Back in May 2021, it was learnt that Mitsubishi Motors in Japan had revived their Ralliart brand during their Financial Year 2020 Financial Results Review. Back then it was unknown how exactly the company would be reviving the motorsport arm, but now the first new Ralliart products have been introduced in Thailand and they’re… decal packs and accessories.
Well, this could just be the start for the Ralliart revival. For now though, it’s Ralliart special editions of the Triton and Pajero Sport.
This Ralliart Special Edition includes:
- decals with red, silver and black stripes
- red mud flaps
- ralliart logos on other interior accessories
Here’s the press release with more information.
PRESS RELEASE
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today launched its first models of the revived Ralliart brand, the Triton1 Ralliart and the Pajero Sport2 Ralliart as special editions. Both models will be exhibited at the 38th Thailand International Motor Expo 20213 in Bangkok, and sales will commence on December 1 at the Motor Expo and Mitsubishi Motors’ dealerships nationwide in Thailand.
Ralliart is MMC’s iconic brand that had refined the driving performance and style of Mitsubishi vehicles over the years through its participation in the World Rally Championship and the Dakar Rally. Respecting the brand image built at the extreme motorsport scenes, the revived Ralliart will start from sales of accessories and provide the excitement and pride that only the owners of Mitsubishi vehicles can feel.
