Car Of The Day: November 17, 2010


Today's car of the day is Zylmex's 1988 Mitsubishi (Plymouth) X2S concept.



The Plymouth X2S is the concept vehicle for the original Diamond Star Motors triplet vehicles, the Eagle Talon, Plymouth Laser and Mitsubishi Eclipse. It is nearly identical to the 1st generation DSMs, except for a dual exhaust which exits out the rear bumper, and more aggressive-looking body panels. A concept convertible X2S was produced along with the coupe, but only the coupe made it into production. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder was later added to the line-up in 1996.

An obscure choice for Zylmex, and sadly, one of only two first generation DSMs available in small scale (the other being an Ert Speed Strips).



Few, if any real photos of the Plymouth X2S are known to exist. The only known photos are from the April 1988 issue of Road & Track Magazine.
