The Mitsubishi TETRA is a

Tokyo Motor Show as the TETRA later the same year.[2] The name is an acronym of "Thoroughbred styling Ergonomic multi function interior Technologically advanced sporty performance RISE & All-round information system".[2]

The TETRA was an attempt to combine the traditional benefits of a

center of gravity, while using a wide track and wide, low profile tires.[2]
