Mitsubishi to shut down Ralliart




I have to say this is some sad news as Ralliart have been the benchmark in tuning for many years, the amount of power they could squeeze out of a 2ltr engine was fantastic. On April 1, 2010 Ralliart will close down after 27 years in business, and in an open letter to his customers, Ralliart president Masao Taguchi stated that his firm was just another victim of the economic downturn. I just wonder if the April 1st shutdown date is an Aprils fools joke!
