MITSUBISHI LANCER CELESTE 1975

「CELESTE」はラテン語で「青い空」という意味。「機能と美を調和させた車」という意味を込めて命名された。

一方、当初は単に「セレステ」の名称で進められていたが、第一次オイルショックの影響で所轄官庁が「新型車」の追加を快く思わず、苦肉の策としてランサーの一バージョンという位置づけの車名にしたという説もある。

"CELESTE" means Latin and "blue sky". It was named after the meaning of "a car that harmonized the function and beauty."

Meanwhile, initially, it was simply advanced with the name of "Celeste", but under the influence of the first oil shock, the competent authority did not feel comfortable adding the "new model car", and as a matter of course it was decided to name the car as one version of Lancer There is also the theory that it did.
