The Mitsubishi FTO, is a front engined, front wheel drive sports car produced by Mitsubishi Motors between 1994 and 2000. It was originally planned to be exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, although its popularity as a grey market import to the United Kingdom and Australia led to eventual limited distribution through Mitsubishi's official dealers in those countries.^[1] Upon its debut it won the Car of the Year Japan award for 1994–95, awarded on December 2, 1994.^[2]

FTO stands for "Fresh Touring Origination", and Mitsubishi claims it is "a touring model overflowing with freshness, youthfulness, [and] originality."^[3] The name recalls the Galant Coupe FTO model of 1971, one of the company's first sports cars.^[4]

[edit] Models

The only body style was a 2-door coupé, and all FTOs were front wheel drive. Either a straight-4 or a transversely mounted V6 engine was available, mated to either a 5-speed manual or INVECS-II semi-automatic transmission. Earlier models had a four-speed version, whilst the post-facelift versions had a five-speed.

In commemoration of its win at the Car of the Year Japan awards in 1994, Mitsubishi introduced a GPX Limited Edition version. It can be indentified by its dandelion yellow paint scheme and "'94–95 Japan Car of the Year" emblems on the outer surface of the car's C-pillar. It also has a rear screen wiper, although this was an option on all other models, and limited slip differential as standard. Less than 500 of these are believed to have been produced.^[5]

The Nakaya-Tune FTO was a limited edition introduced in early 1997, and only 300 cars were sold. The car was tuned by Akihiko Nakaya, driver of an FTO in the Japanese GT300 motor racing series in 1998–1999. The main differences over the standard model are a sports muffler, uprated brake pads, carbon fibre lip spoiler, and uprated suspension with Öhlins shock absorbers.^[5]

[edit] August 1997–July 2001

Cars built after August 1997 are regarded as facelift models, although the only exterior change was to the front bumper, which gained a larger air intake, deeper front splitter and restyled housings for the supplementary lights.^[6]

Find the equation of  v1(-1,0,2),v2(3,-2,1)and v3(0,-1,2)
Solution:
    vector v1v2=v2-v1=(4,-2,-1)
    vector v1v3=v3-v1=((1,-1,0)
let n=vector v1v2 * vector v1v3=(-1,-1,-2)
since the vector n is perpendicular to vector v1v2 and vector v1v3
so n*((x,y,z)-v1)=0  => 3-x-y-2z=0
