Since the year 1989, Mitsubishi has produced the Eclipse series of cars, specifically for the markets in the region of United States and Canada. The two-door, four-seat car belongs to high performance street sports car category. The car was a product of the partnership between Mitsubishi Motors and Chrysler Corporation known as Diamond Star Motors (DSM).

The Eclipse was manufactured in several different variations ranging from different engine capacities as well as different chassis styles. The engine capacities included several different engines such as the 140 HP 2.0 Liter 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420A engine, 141 HP 2.4 Liter 16-valve SOHC Mitsubishi 4G64 engine, and the top-end 210 HP turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine. Besides the different engines, it came in four different body trim styles. The first three were the basic front wheel drives while the last fourth model was an all-wheel drive car. All the models were equipped with an inline-4 cylinder turbocharged engine sporting the newly developed aluminum cylinder heads.

The 1995 Eclipse belonged to the second generation of the Eclipse family of cars. It was styled in radically different manner from the first generation Eclipse series. The Chrysler Neon engine was upgraded and led to an increase in the total power output from the base 195 BHP to 210 BHP. There were seven different trim styles available in the particular series namely the RS, GS, GS Spyder, GS-T, GS-T Spyder, and the GSX. All the various styling models differed in integrated features such as tachometer, reaer defroster, driving lights, wheels sizes ranging between 14 inches to 16 inches, covering hub caps, optional spoiler, power-driven antenna, cruise control, rear windshield washing mechanism, or the 5-spoke alloy wheels set. The grill design was changed from the original 'Classic' pattern to the much more aggressive looking radiator opening in the front.
