Mitsubishi teases PHEV Ground Tourer Concept

Mitsubishi Ground Tourer Concept to be shown in Paris in October.

What's the news?

The next big motor show on the horizon is Paris and already Mitsubishi has started that teaser photo lark. This time, it's for a machine called the Ground Tourer Concept (GTC).

Following on from the Concept XR PHEV II and eX Concept vehicles shown at the 2015 editions of the Geneva and Tokyo Motor Shows, this GTC is said to be the 'latest expression of Mitsubishi Motors' design journey', otherwise known as 'Dynamic Shield'. Mitsubishi says this movement is 'expressed through four powerful elements: functional beauty, augmented possibilities, Japanese craftsmanship and solid thrust' for the GTC.

Perhaps more pertinently than all this PR guff is the fact that the GTC is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with off-road capability. And we'll try to put to one side our feelings that, even with this merest glimpse of it, the GTC look a lot like a Lexus RX in profile...

Anything else?

The 2016 Paris Motor Show runs from October 1-16. In, er, Paris.
