The 6-speed manual transmission or Sportronic automatic transmission, traction control, and 18” alloy wheels adds to power and beauty of Eclipse.

The interior is amazing. The two-seater cockpit provides comfort in its leather cover. The uniquely beautiful, motorcycle adopted speedometer gives a different look in dashboard. The Eclipse GT offers a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system, complete with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 playback. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) surrounds you with an array of customizable sound settings served up by eight speakers with a 10-inch subwoofer.

The American hybrid requires no plug. The battery is a sealed nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rated at 330 volts, which automatically recharges during long stops or when gas-engine is running. Its battery performance is like typical V-6 in terms of speed and acceleration. It uses electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission (eCVT), which harnesses internal combustion and electric power sources to drive wheels. Fuel economy increases by 75% in city driving, consuming at about, 36 mpg in city driving and 31 mpg on highway, better than what Ford expected.
