Of the 100-year-old Mitsubishi made a hybrid

November 6, all car lovers are waiting for a very interesting event in a special edition of the show Inside West Coast Customs. Mitsubishi Motors and the American tuning studio West Coast Customs prepared a presentation of the hybrid, which was made from the first model of the Japanese brand Model A, which went off the assembly line in 1917.

So, what was done? The car, which received the name Mitsubishi Re-Model, acquired a hybrid engine from the Cross Outlander PHEV. It is a conglomerate of a 2.0-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 121 horsepower and 81-horsepower front and rear electric motors. By the way, 12 kilowatt-old batteries of the machine can be recharged from the home electrical system.

Of course, there was not a hundred-year veteran left without modern "lotions". In the cabin there is a multimedia system compatible with the smartphone, a set of systems that provide security management. "In the flesh" Mitsubishi Re-Model will be available at the December showroom in Los Angeles.

For connoisseurs of history recall, Mitsubishi Model A - the first car produced by the company. In 1917, it was equipped with a 2.8-liter V4, issuing 35 horsepower. In total 22 machines of this brand came off the assembly line.
