The Japanese company used the L200 pickup for the presentation, which it transformed into the Ralliart style with other pictures referring to Ralliart Parts accessories. However, it is not clear whether Mitsubishi intends to produce special Ralliart models or just modify existing cars.

The Ralliart brand ceased to exist in 2010 after twenty-five years of existence in the field of tuning and motorsport. The decision was made for financial reasons at the time, but Mitsubishi’s legacy in motorsport is still undisputed to this day. The legendary driver Tommi Makinen, who rode behind the wheel of the Lancer Evo model and became the world rally champion four times in a row, also associated his name with the Ralliart brand.
