Filed under: Concept Cars, Detroit Auto Show, Coupes, Mitsubishiclick above for more high-res images of the Mitsubishi Concept-RAIt's a rare day when a concept makes us visibly wretch, but Mitsubishi did just that when it ripped the sheets off its Concept-RA. Maybe it was the ill-proportioned front fascia that took all the wrong cues from a Vector, or the generic styling of the rear three-quarter view, but overall, it left us cold, despite Mitsu's infinitely looped Daft Punk/Kanye West mashup.Regardless, the Concept-RA uses some innovative materials (aluminum space frame and recycled plastic body panels) and we like the idea of an all-wheel-drive, diesel-powered sports coupe that sends 201 hp and 310 lb.-ft. of twist through Mitsubishi's S-AWC system. But beyond the powertrain underneath, we weren't impressed -- and the engine poking through the hood didn't help either.Mitsubishi's press release plus video is posted in full after the jump and we've got our live gallery of images below.Gallery: Mitsubishi Concept-RAContinue reading Detroit 2008: Ra-Roh!
