Mitsubishi Evo X

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, colloquially known as the Lancer Evo or Evo, is a high-performance sedan manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. There have been ten official versions to date, and the designation of each model is most commonly a roman numeral. All use two litre, turbocharged engines and four-wheel drive systems.

Many aspects of the car were changed such as:

* The interior was upgraded in the GSR version with a better class of Recaro seat.
* The body kit had flared arches at the front and rear and a new aluminium rear spoiler replaced the IV FRP version and gave an adjustable angle of attack to alter rear down force.
* The track was widened by 10 mm (0.4 in), the wheel offset changed from ET45 to ET38 along with the wheel diameter which rose from 16" to 17" to accommodate Brembo brakes which were added to enhance braking.
* In addition the brake master cylinder bore increased by 0.3 millimetres (0.01 in).
* The engine was strengthened in a few areas and the cam duration was increased. The pistons were lighter with a smaller skirt area. 510 cc injectors were replaced with 560 cc injectors for better engine reliability due to more electrical "headroom" and the ECU was changed to include a flash ROM, allowing more boost pressure to the same TD05-HR as the Mitsubishi Evolution III and IV.

Furthermore, the turbocharger was again improved. Torque was increased to 373 N·m (275 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm. Power officially stayed the same, at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), though some claim horsepower was actually somewhat higher.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

Production began in Japan in 1996, and was available for most export markets by 1997, where it was variously known as the Challenger, Pajero Sport in Europe, Montero Sport in North America and South America, Nativa in parts of Central America and the Middle East, Shogun Sport in the United Kingdom, and G-Wagon in Thailand. As its popularity increased, local assembly for foreign markets was introduced in China in 2003, and Brazil in 2006. Sales were discontinued in Japan in 2003, in North America in 2004 (where it was superseded by the Endeavor), and central and western Europe in 2008.The second generation of the vehicle, based on the ladder frame chassis of the Mitsubishi Triton, was gradually introduced to selected markets (Russia, south-east Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Oceania) through the autumn of 2008, following its debut at the Moscow Auto Salon. 2.5 or 3.2 litre diesel and 3.0 or 3.5 litre V6 petrol engines are available as before, while five- or seven-seat interior configurations are offered. As with the Triton pick-up on which it is based, production of the new Pajero Sport for all markets is concentrated in Thailand.

Mitsubishi ASX

The Mitsubishi RVR is the name of two unrelated vehicles produced by Mitsubishi Motors, a compact MPV between 1991 and 2002, and a compact crossover which was introduced in 2010. The first RVR is a compact MPV, manufactured between 1991 and 2002. It was known as the Mitsubishi Space Runner in Europe and Mitsubishi Expo LRV in the United States, while export markets in Asia and Oceania used the original Japanese name. The RVR was also sold by Chrysler as the Dodge/Plymouth Colt Vista and Eagle Summit Wagon captive imports in North America. The top models in certain markets used the drivetrain of the first Mitsubishi Galant VR-4; the 4G63T 2.0 L 16V DOHC turbo straight-4 mated to either a four-speed auto or a five speed manual. Open front and rear differentials were used. Power output was rated at 170–184 kW (231–250 PS; 228–247 hp).
The second generation was introduced in 1997.

The second RVR is a compact crossover vehicle, first released in the Japanese domestic market on February 17, 2010. In Europe and Australia it is sold as the Mitsubishi ASX (an abbreviation of "Active Sports Crossover"),and as the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the United States. In Canada it is sold as the Mitsubishi RVR, while in Puerto Rico it keeps both the ASX and Outlander Sport titles as well. It is based on the design of the Concept-cX prototype first exhibited at the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show in July 2007. It was also exhibited at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in September the same year. It is heavily inspired by the Racing Lancer, which was built to the FIA's Group T1 rules, and competed in the 2009 Dakar Rally. The Asian RVRs are powered by the 4B10 1.8 litre gasoline engine mated to an INVECS-III continuously variable transmission. North American, Singaporean, Chinese, Malaysian, Philippine and Australian vehicles will get the larger 4B11 2.0 L, while the European ASX will use a new 4A92 1.6 litre gasoline engine. In Europe and also Australia while be avalaible the 4N13 1.8 L direct-injection turbodiesel engine. The whole range of petrol engines - volume 1.6 l (capacity of 117 hp), 1.8 l (140 hp) and 2.0 (150 hp) will be offered in the Russian and Ukrainian market. A front drive vehicle with the engine of 1.6 l will be equipped with mechanical transmission and with the engine of 1.8 l and 2.0 l in the all-wheel drive version – with a variable speed case with Sports mode.

Mitsubishi has concentrated on emphasizing the RVR's fuel economy and low emissions, as part of the company's plan to reposition itself as a maker of smaller and more efficient cars, in contrast to its previous successes building large SUVs. The vehicle is both eligible for an eco-car tax reduction in Japan, and Euro-5 compliant in Europe. The European ASX will be exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, while the North American Outlander Sport was revealed at the 2010 New York International Auto Show.

Online Test Drive : Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Mitsubishi fast Test Online Test Drive : Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Now you can take a test drive from the comfort of your couch. All you need is the internet and you can drive a real Outlander Sport during the Mitsubishi Live Drive, the world’s first online test drive.

Mitsubishi and advertising agency 180LA are working with a team of robotics experts and software developers to outfit a real Outlander Sport so that it can be driven live on the website OutlanderSport.com. Beginning November 2nd, visitors to the site will get a chance to drive the Outlander Sport in real-time on a course in Southern California. Each driver will have full control of the car within the boundaries of the course.


This event is a technological first. But the idea did not begin with technology, it came from a desire to change the way people shop for a car. Instead of insisting that consumers visit a dealership to experience a car, we wanted find a way to bring the Outlander Sport to them.

Of course, when you give someone control of a car they’re not in, the first thing they’ll want to do is crash it. This is just one of many challenges the team faced while developing this experience. The answer to this particular challenge is a sophisticated GPS system that tracks the car’s every movement and automatically takes control of the vehicle if it is driven outside the boundaries of the course.

Driving View Online Test Drive : Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

The same GPS system plays a central role in allowing consumers to collect “features” during their drive. Large icons painted on the course represent various features on the Outlander Sport, and consumers will be asked to drive over these GPS hotspots to collect as many feature icons as they can during their drive.

2011 Mitsubishi CS Concept created by Gábor Farkas. The design concept revives the Colt CA (92-96) with a touch of the C50 (88-92) model at the front, wrapped in Mitsubishi’s new jet-fighter design language. Almost production ready-looking concept study penned as a replacement for the Mitsubishi Colt supermini

Called the Mitsubishi CS, the Ford Fiesta-sized concept model blends select styling cues from the Japanese brand’s most recent models such as the Lancer’s so-called shark nose with an aggressive body shape boasting curvalicious details.

“I had some time to speculate and this is how I imagine a Colt successor that Mitsubishi fans could like. When designing the conceptCS, the main goal was to summon the spirit of its ancestors.” Gábor Farkas said.

Less concept approach is continued in the interior which is partially inspired by the Outlander Sport (called ASX in Europe and RVR in Japan).

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT – AWC test systems

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT Rear Side View 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT   AWC test systems

Recently, the last generation Mitsubishi testing AWC (All-Wheel Control) systems in the region precisely in snowy New Hampshire by the Team O’Neil Rally School. If you don’t already know, rally school proprietor Tim O’Neil is a five-time North American and U.S. Rally Champion and his instructors are top-notch.

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT Front Side View 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT   AWC test systems

The last generation Mitsubishi : Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart, and Mitsubishi Outlander GT. All-Wheel Control, born of the brand’s famous rallying lineage, is one of Mitsubishi’s prized technologies and now includes a separate, more performance tuned Super All-Wheel Control system (S-AWC). Extensive testing and re-calibration in nearly every feasible climate and terrain have lead to the two distinct setups. Though mechanically unique, the differences between each AWC are actually relatively small. Collectively, they’re focused on creating better handling, plus safer and more predictable vehicles for consumers.

Mitsubishi first shows us the new 2010 Outlander GT. It uses S-AWC with an active front differential that controls the speed differences between the front wheels. It also gets electronic four-wheel drive that distributes power and torque to the rear wheels. Instead of using the electro-hydraulic components that the Evo employs, engineers opted for electro-magnetic replacements in an effort to reduce parasitic drivetrain loss and bump up fuel economy. Tarmac, Snow, or Lock modes optimize torque distribution depending on terrain.
