Mitsubishi - Ralliart Performance Division Shuttered

Ralliart, an independent tuning company that has tuned many Mitsubishi vehicles since 1984, is being severely scaled back at the end of March.

“Because of the sudden change of economy situation since the year before last, the business circumstance surrounding our company radically became worse and so, this time we have reached the conclusion that we Ralliart Inc., would scale down our business activities as of the end of March 2010,” Ralliart said in a statement posted on its website.
Its un-clear at this point what will happen to Ralliart versions of the Lancer and Lancer Sportback that are released.  Its a sad day for motorsport as Ralliart has been involved in countless different areas of racing and performance car tuning.


Let's hope that Mitsubishi can perhaps buy up the company or at least take in some of its personnel and take Ralliart in-house.
