The all-new TRITON rally car is based on the Thai-spec double cab model, modified in accordance with the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Group T1 restrictions (for modified cross-country vehicles). The concept car that was revealed at the Bangkok International Motor Show in March featured black and silver coloring inspired by lava rocks packed with condensed energy, but the AXCR rally cars will have a red and black motif that represents the energy of gushing lava.
The TRITON rally car is modified with a roll cage and bumper guard, and carbon fiber parts including the hood, front and rear doors, and cargo bed.Also major weight reductions have been made to the vehicle's interior components, the new TRITON rally car's body weight will be equivalent to previous rally car while the body size is larger than the previous model.
In addition to extending the tread of the base car, the rally cars have rally-specific front and rear suspension and LSD for sporty and stable handling performance that puts drivers in full control. Lightweight aluminum wheels and narrow off-road tires compared to the last year improve road handling on tough road surfaces such as mud. The already tough chassis has been evolved with front and rear twin dampers, along with bump stops, to absorb severe shocks from road surfaces.
The newly developed 2.4 L diesel turbo engine has been tuned to reduce friction loss and weight, and a new turbo system has been used to raise output across the entire range. AXCR's special stages include river crossings, so each component's sealing has been improved and the rally car has been outfitted with a snorkel (intake duct) to handle driving in water.

- I spoke to Mitsubishi a month ago about this, they told me it’s not coming to Australia because the sell price will be around 100k costing more than the raptor and it’s basically just wheels tyres and suspension + sticker decals with a 22k price increase! So they said they weren’t bothering with it.
