Mitsubishi Prototype i MiEV and i MiEV Sport Air Concept - Auto Shows

Mitsubishi is thinking electric at the 2009 Geneva auto show. On display are two concepts that will hint at the production i MiEV (Mitsubishiin-wheel motorElectricVehicle) headed for Japan this summer. Both are based on the gasoline-powered Mitsubishi i microcar.

The exterior of the Prototype i MiEV continues the evolution toward the final, fully electric vehicle, which could also be offered in Western Europe. This concept introduces left-hand drive and boasts slightly larger dimensions than the previous i MiEV.

The i MiEV Sport Air concept is a coupe version of the Prototype and a further evolution of the previous i MiEV Sport concept. It aims to deliver a more dynamic driving experience, with a beefed-up electric motor and lower center of gravity. The Sport Air also adds a slick “clear cutaway” top for a more airy experience.
