The Triton Absolute might use a tuned version of the stock 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine, which retains its aluminium engine block and pistons but gains modifications such as uprated camshafts, a modified oil sump, larger injectors and larger fuel rails. The engine might also receive a larger GTurbo high-flow turbocharger, a larger intercooler, an upgraded radiator for additional cooling and a Motec engine management system. A bespoke Torqit three-inch exhaust system might round up the tune, while the manifold can be retained from the standard Triton.
Producing 344hp and 677Nm of torque, the racing version of the Mitsubishi Triton SuperUte can reach 100km/h from a standstill in under 3.5 seconds and drive up to a top speed in excess of 150mph. This of course is in race form and for the showroom version for added reliability and whilst keeping buyers happy, Mitsubishi could limit the tune to say, 250 hp and 550Nm of torque.
