Japanese Diamante Gallery

The Japanese Diamante is a very enigmatic thing. There is very little known about them, and what is available is often in Japanese! What is known is that these vehicles are available in many varients that are not seen anywhere else.

Japanese Diamantes currently use two types of engines:

2.5L GDI - power output: 147kw & 3L GDI - power output: 177kw



I find it very interesting that this 2.5L puts out the same power as our 3.5L. The torque output is similar to the 3L - but at lower RPM. GDI is an advanced technology - fuel is injected directly into the cylinders. Fuel consumption is listed at 13km/L.

3L MIVEC - power output: 198kw

MIVEC is Mitsubishi's version of variable valve timing (eg: Honda's VTEC/Toyota's VVT). Fuel consumption is listed at 11.4km/L. See Bryan's Mivec below - which has this particular engine.

For anyone who wants to find more info on these cars, see http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/mitsubishi/diamante/.

All Japanese Diamantes come with a mind-boggling array of electronic goodies - the differences between the models is often the number of gadgets you get!
