The 'excellegt' you mentioned might be a typo, I guess you're asking about the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. This car was once the dream ride for young people, especially the third generation, which offered 2.4L and 3.8L V6 engine options. Remember the 2006 model even came with Chrysler's 6G72 engine – that unique frameless window design is rarely seen nowadays. The difference between it and the regular Eclipse lies in its more aggressive power tuning and specially optimized suspension. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2012, but you can still find some cool modified examples in the used car market.

From your spelling, it seems you're referring to the Excel-GT? I immediately thought of the Toyota Tercel Excel GT launched in 1982. This car had different names in North America, equipped with a 1.5L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, making it the cheapest rear-wheel-drive sports coupe of its time. Inside, you'd notice the orange dashboard and manual roll-up windows. Its most distinctive feature was the tall yet short gear lever with an exceptionally short throw - nowadays, vintage car enthusiasts love collecting this model for drift modifications.

Could it be the GT version of the Hyundai Excel? In the early 1990s, Hyundai used this car to break into the American market, and it even came with a Mitsubishi engine back then. Specifically, the GT version was a sport package edition introduced in 1990, featuring an added rear spoiler and side skirts. However, strictly speaking, it wasn’t a performance car—the 1.5L engine only produced 92 horsepower. I drove a friend’s once, and the steering wheel was so light it felt floaty, with severe understeer in corners. On the bright side, the air conditioning was exceptionally cool.

My first thought was Rolls-Royce when hearing Excellence GT, but they've never used this naming. The closest would be the Wraith Black Badge edition, but speaking of GT models, Aston Martin DB11 GT comes to mind. I tested this car on the track last month - its 4.0T V8 delivers 535 horsepower, with gear shifts as smooth as a hot knife through butter. That GT suffix means softer suspension and thicker seats, making long drives truly back-friendly.

Perhaps you're looking for the Ford GT? This is a completely different beast. The new 2017 reissue version now sells for over $500,000. Its mid-mounted 3.5T V6 engine delivers a staggering 647 horsepower, but you'll only discover there's no door handle when you try to get in - the button's on the roof. As for the driving experience, the steering wheel feels as heavy as gym equipment, but the throttle response is frighteningly quick. Last time I floored it on a straightaway, my back felt like it was being pushed forward by a rocket booster.
