Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GT Sport Sedan Models History
Mitsubishi Lancer Reviews - Remember The Mitsubishi Lancer? - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a high-performance sports car sedan that all models have inline 4-cylinder 2000cc engine turbocharger 4-wheel or AWD.
Lancer Evo was originally intended only for Japanese markets, but demand in the market "Gray imports" will be distributed through the Lancer Evolution Ralliart dealer network in the UK and across the European market around 1998. Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2003, after witnessing the success Subaru that had been marketed in the United States with his Impreza WRX.
Spec Japanese cars are limited by a gentlemen's agreement to give the performance of not more than 280 PS (206 kW, 276 hp), it has been done by Evolution IV. Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the given power, the Japan-spec, Evolution IX reaching the largest output of around 321 PS (236 kW; 317 hp). Various versions available in the offer, in particular, the United Kingdom, the power generated the highest, up to 411 PS (302 kW; 405 hp).
Lancer Evolution was born early is to compete in the World Rally Championship. He is 2.0 L turbocharged DOHC engine and 4WD drivetrain from the Galant VR-4 in a Lancer chassis, and was sold in GSR and RS models. This engine is also used in Mitsubishi RVR with Hyper Gear Sports trim package. RS is a stripped-down version that did not have power windows and power seats, anti-lock brakes, rear wiper, and a wheeled steel that weighs about 70 kg (154 lb), less than 1,238 kg (£ 2729) GSR, which is ready for racing or tuning. GSR comes with all the conveniences of a typical street car. GSR is equipped with Mitsubishi 4G63 engine that produces 247 PS (182 kW; 244 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 309 N · m (228 £ · ft) at 3000 rpm. The first generation Evolution 5,000 units were sold between 1992 and 1993. Top speed up to the speed of 228 km / h (142 mph).
Evolution II was launched in December 1993 and was produced until February 1995. It focuses on handling improvements, including minor wheelbase adjustments, larger swaybars, bodywork tweaks including a larger spoiler, and tires are 10 mm (0.4 in) broader. Evolution II also consume 10 liters / 100km (13.2 US gal; 11.0 imp gal) fuel tank. Power output increased to 256 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) from the same engine and torque was unchanged for both GSR and RS models.
In February 1995, saw him coming, Evolution 3 which has some improvements from previous models. Namely, more design styling, aggressive and a new nose molding improved the air supply to the intercooler, radiator, and brakes. New side skirts and rear bumper shape and the larger rear spoiler are used to reduce power lift (downforce). Improved performance of the engine has a compression ratio that is higher than ever, and the compressor turbocharger new (60 mm to 68 mm), which provides a power output of 270 bhp (201 kW) at 6250 rpm, 309 N · m (228 £ · ft) at 3000 rpm.
Platform Lancer really changed in 1996, and along with it, Lancer Evolution which has become very popular around the world. The engine and transaxle rotated 180 ° to better balance the weight and eliminate torque steer. There are two versions available, RS and GSR. The RS version was produced as a competition car with front differential slip differential and a friction type LSD at the rear. And coupled with GLX seats and a choice of sporty alloy wheels 16 "or 17" OZ lightweight racing wheels. RS also has Air Up, optional air conditioning in some models, and several bars/rods extra brace to strengthen the chassis, one behind the front grill and the other across the boot floor. RS is also equipped thinner body panels and glass. GSR and RS use twin turbochargers that help to increase to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6500 rpm and 330 N · m (243 £ · ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm. Active Mitsubishi Yaw Control emerged as an option on models of GSR, which uses the steering, throttle input sensors and sensor g-force to a computer-hydraulic torque control split individually to the rear wheels and as a result, 10,000 units Evolution IV produced all sold quickly. Evolution IV can be distinguished by two fog lights (frog lamp) were great in the front bumper (option on RS version), and newly designed tail lights on the rear, which became a standard design to Evolution V, which will be yet another trademark of the Evolution series. This new generation was slightly heavier than previous Evos-the GSR in particular due to technological add-system but reduces the car's weight to be produced, even more, severe than the RS version be 1,260 kg (£ 2.778) and GSR which weighs 1,345 kg (£ 2965). Most of the technical improvement for this generation is also used in the second generation Mitsubishi RVR is only sold in Japan.
Many aspects of modified cars such as:
* The interior is upgraded in the GSR version with a driving experience that is better than sports seats from Recaro.
* Body kit has been choppy, arches on the front and rear and a new aluminum rear spoiler replaced the IV FRP version and gave an adjustable angle to change the aerodynamic rear down force.
* Agency over a width of 10 mm (0.4 in), wheel-base changed from ET45 to ET38 wheel diameter which rose from 16 "to 17"
* Piston brake cylinder increased by 0.3 millimeters (0.01 in).
* Machine strengthened in a few areas and the cam duration increases. Lighter pistons with an area smaller diameter. 510 cc injectors replaced with 560 cc injection for better engine reliability. "Headroom" and ECU amended to include a flash ROM, allowing more boost pressure for each TD05-HR as the Mitsubishi Evolution III and IV.
Furthermore, the turbocharger was again improved. Torque increased to 373 N · m (275 £ · ft) at 3000 rpm. Authorized power remains the same, at 280 PS (206 kW, 276 hp), although some claim horsepower is actually somewhat higher.
Evolution VI changes mainly focused on cooling and engine durability. It received a large intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with titanium aluminide turbine wheel for the RS model, which is a first in a production car. Evolution VI received new bodywork yet again, with the change of the easiest looks to be in the front bumper where the huge fog lights are reduced in size and moved to the corner for better air flow. A new model was added to the GSR and RS lineup; known as the RS2, it was an RS with a few options that GSR. Another limited-edition RS was known as Sprint RS, RS tuned by Ralliart in the UK to be lighter and more powerful with 330 hp (246 kW).
Yet another special edition Evolution VI was released in 1999: Tommi Mäkinen Edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen who had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships. It features a different front bumper, Shift knob, a titanium turbine that spooled up quicker, front upper strut brace, lowered ride (already at the stage of bitumen in mind), and the steering ratio quicker. among other colors, VI Evo comes in either red (Tommi Mak only), white, blue, black or silver with decals optional special, replicate rally car Tommi Mäkinen was the color scheme, the car is also sometimes referred to as an Evolution 6½, Evolution 6.5, or TME for short.
Evolution VII was based on a larger platform Lancer CEDIA and as a result gained more weight over the Evolution VI, but Mitsubishi made up for this with some important chassis tweaks. The biggest change is the addition of an active center differential and the limited-slip differential is more effective, while the front helical limited-slip differential was added. Torque increased again to 385 N · m (284 £ · ft) with engine tweaks that allowed greater airflow, and horsepower officially remained at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp).Pengenalan Evolution VII also marked the first time an automatic drivetrain included in the model lineup GT-A. Seen as a version of 'men express' from GSR VII visually similar, GT-A model was only produced in 2002 and has an interior that distinguishes following and exterior specification: GT-A only diamond cut finish 17-inch (430 mm) alloy wheels, clear lens rear lights and headlights all-in-one style (later used on the Evolution VIII). GT-A has the option to non-spoiler, the short spoiler (as later used on the Evolution VIII 260) or thunder spoiler as used on the standard model Evolution VII. The most distinguishing feature is the smooth cap without air grills on it at all. Despite offering cooling capacity is low, the engine hood is designed to give a clean line through the air with less air resistance on the highway.Interior can be specified with a choice of factory plush velour interior, full leather or the Recaro sports seats. GT-Interior is different because it has chrome door handles, the instrument panel is different (to display gear selection) and chrome edged bezels around the speedo and tach. GT-A also has the additional sound deadening installed from the factory and the engine manifold and downpipe had been engineered to be softer. Gearbox 5-speed automatic has what Mitsubishi called "fuzzy logic", which means that the car will learn what the driver's driving characteristics like that and will adjust the gear change timings and kick down reactions accordingly. The gears can be selected manually as with most Tiptronic through the steering wheel + and - buttons (a pair both sides) or via selecting the Tiptronic gate with the gear lever. Power down slightly from the standard manual car with 264 PS (194 kW; 260 hp). GT-A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII but has been installed on the estate version of the Evolution IX Wagon. He was replaced by Twin Clutch SST gearbox since the introduction of the Evolution X.
Evolution VIII changed again in 2003, this time Sporty 17 "gray Enkei wheel rims, Brembo brakes and shocks Bilstein to handle traction and a 5-speed manual gearbox with 280 PS (202 kW; 276 hp) (about 234 hp with. wheel) Initially one of the models, sales were so successful in the United States that in 2005 it was available in four trims: GSR standard model in Japan, RS, with aluminum roof, 5-speed gearbox, and standard wheels (lacking excess components, such as lights map interior, power windows / doors, and radio), SSL (with a roof, trunk mounted subwoofer, and leather seats), and MR, which comes with a limited-slip differential revised front, aluminum shift knob MR, handbrake grip carbon fiber , 17-inch BBS wheels, aluminum roof, and a 6-speed manual gearbox. The new Evolution also uses chrome tail lamp housing and lamp head.
Lancer Evolution VIII MR uses slick-response Bilstein shocks for better handling. Aluminum roof panel and other weight reduction have lowered the center of gravity to produce more natural roll characteristics. Detailed improvements have also been made for its own electronics hard Mitsubishi 4WD, for the control of the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction, and for the Sports ABS system. Lancer Evolution VIII displayed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. Other parts on the MR include BBS alloy wheels, which are Bilstein shocks. The FQ400, sold through Ralliart England, produces 411 PS (302 kW; 405 hp) of the 2.0 L 4G63 engine company, specially modified with British tuning firm tuning States Rampage, Owen developments, and Flow Race Engines. At 202.9 hp (151.3 kW) per liter, it has one of the highest specific output per liter of any machine road car. With a curb weight of 1,450 kg (£ 3197), it reaches 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, 0-100 mph in 9.1 seconds, quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 117 mph (188 km / h) and the superior speed of 175 mph (282 km / h), while the price of £ 48,000. BBC television series Top Gear demonstrated that the stock FQ-400 could surprisingly keep up with a Lamborghini Murcielago around a test track. Stig recorded a Top Gear Strength Lap Time 1 minute and 24.8 seconds, 1.1 seconds slower than the Murcielago time of 1 minute 23.7 seconds In a similar test conducted by the magazine Evo., Evolution is able to lap the Bedford Autodrome faster than Audi RS4 and Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.
Evolution Lancer Evolution VIII was also first sold in the United States, driven by the success of Subaru Impreza WRX which had been released there just three years earlier. Evolution VIII found the true competition in the Subaru Impreza WRX STI models of the same year with the US introduction Evolution VIII. 2.0-liter engine with 271 horsepower, the 2003 Evolution VIII is able to achieve a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. However, the internal components for the American version largely stripped-down version of the specifications for the Japanese Lancer Evolution VIII. No US-specification Evolution models prior to the Evo X has active yaw control, including the 2006 Evolution IX. In 2003 and 2004 American GSRS is no limited-slip differential front helical and 6-speed manual transmission. The 2004 US specification RS models, however, have a front helical limited-slip differential. All RS 2003, 2004 and 2005 and GSR models have a 5-speed transmission Japanese Evolution VII. MR edition was introduced to the United States in 2005, with ACD and the only model with a 6-speed transmission. The 2005 US specification RS and GSR have the ACD standard, and the front helical limited-slip differential is now standard on all models. Encouragement, time, and tuning are also significantly lower than its Japanese counterpart, which allows it to adhere to stringent US emissions regulations. Since 2005, the United States Model Evos also equipped with a 5000rpm limit on launch in 1st gear to protect the drivetrain. MR and RS editions have an aluminum roof. In addition, MR Edition is equipped with a 6-speed transmission, Bilstein shocks, and factory wheels BBS basic optional.RS Edition does not come with power windows, locks, or Mirror, audio system, rear wing, sound deadening material, map lamps or anti-lock braking system. All Evo VIII RS models sold in the US have a cooling system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set Lancer crash test ratings in the different models.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX exhibited on March 3, 2005, at the Geneva Motor Show for the European market. North American markets saw the model exhibited at the New York International Auto Show next month. The 2.0 L engine Sirius Mitsubishi 4G63 engine has MIVEC technology (variable valve timing) and a revised turbocharger design increase the power output at the crankshaft official to 291 PS (214 kW, 287 hp) and torque of 392 N · m lb (289 · feet). The USDM Lancer Evolution IX models: standard (Grand Sports Rally or "GSR" in some markets), RS (Rally Sport), SE (Special Edition) and MR (Mitsubishi Racing) varied slightly in their performance capabilities. Pernik unique to each model accounted for variations in acceleration, handling, and top speed. RS excluded standard features in standard, SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk and sound insulation layer). The result is a weight saving of more than 60 lb (27 kg). The fuel capacity remains the same as the Evo VIII at 14 USgal (53 L). Although RS is the lightest group, RS not managed to outperform standard IX and MR about the program (though only a fraction of a second). This is supposedly due to lack of rear wing in the RS. In a drag race, the three models are all about even. Time for Miles quarter ranged from 13.4 to 13.7 seconds. RS models manufactured for rally and racing teams who wanted a platform to build a race car from. It is stripped of all creature comforts, and other upgrades pushed up the price for the features race team. Revision addition of 2005 including gear ratios closer to transmission 5-speed manual, a new lightweight Enkei wheels on non-MR model, the front end with a redesigned air dam more efficient (the most noticeable feature is the two-channel small oval to cool intercooler pipes), and a new rear bumper with a diffuser undersurface to smooth out the airflow out of the car for non-US models. In an effort to reduce the rise in prices on the Evolution IX models, [citation needed] HID headlights are no longer standard equipment on IX basis (nor were they standard on the 2005 VIII), and is only available in the package SSL (Sun, Sound, and Leather), SE (Special Edition) and trim MR.Version US on the Lancer Evolution IX does not come with ACD AYC but it was still there. Although the US version does not come with AYC, it did come with a clutch-type rear LSD 1.5way (limited slip differential) which limits the slip of the rear wheels lose traction causing less than the rear wheel. The most common setup is a 1.5 way LSD, locking the throttle and partial locking on braking. In racing, the Lancer Evolutions are not equipped with AYC or ACD because it is believed that a better lap time achieved with a pure driver's skills without the aid based computer system. Once change from the previous iteration of the Lancer Evolution, is a change in the engine, the new 4G63 MIVEC comes with, Mitsubishi's variable valve lift technology, which drastically increases fuel consumption by changing the valve timing on the intake cam. MIVEC system similar to Honda's i-VTEC system simply does not change the valve lift, intake valve timing only. Three trim available for Japan, Asia, and Europe. Although all models use the same 291 PS (214 kW, 287 hp) engine, the torque differs from one model to another. In Europe, however, the Evolution IX was advertised to have 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). GSR produced 400 N · m (295 £ · ft) of torque, while the RS and GT produced 407 N · m (£ 300 · ft).
* RS - "Rally Sport", revised 5-speed, aluminum roof, gauge pack, minimal interior, LSD and a titanium-magnesium turbine, left drive options are available.
* MR RS - same as the RS with a 6-speed Manual Transmission.
* GT - a revised 5-speed, this is basically the RS mechanically, but with some features that GSR (mainly interior pieces).
* GSR - 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, aluminum roof, gauge pack, SAYC (Super Active Yaw Control), and double-din radio (this is roughly equivalent to the USDM MR).
* MR GSR -as GSR with a 17-inch BBS alloy wheels. * MR Tuned by Ralliart - Based on the Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition, the Lancer Evolution IX Japan exclusively tuned by Ralliart Mitsubishi has features similar to the Evo IX MR GSR except for civil Carbon Fiber front spoiler lip, Official Ralliart livery, Ralliart RA04 Black 17- inch aluminum wheels be falsified. In the United Kingdom, the Evolution IX uses a different model scheme based on the horsepower of the car. There were originally three models available: FQ-300, FQ-320 and FQ-340 each with about 300 (296/221), 320 (316/236) and 340 (336/250) PS (BHP / KW) each respectively. Model FQ-360 was later released as the successor to the Evolution VIII FQ-400. While the new FQ-360 produced less horsepower than its predecessor, it is more torque at 363 lb · ft (492 N · m) at 3200 rpm. All four models are designed to run on unleaded gasoline Super alone. FQ-360-6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Ralliart Sports meter kit, a carbon front splitter, wheel Speedline, unleaded gasoline only Super * MR FQ-360 - New turbo with titanium alloy aluminum fins turbo, Turini Speedline alloy wheels, Glass Privacy, Lowered Eibach springs Coil (10mm front / 5mm in rear), IX MR interior, super unleaded gasoline hanyaEmpat models available in the United States. All models use the same 286 hp (213 kW) engine. * Standard - the revised 5-speed models, standard * RS - Ralli sport, revised 5-speed, aluminum roof, sir gauge, interior minimal, there is also a radio * SE - Special Edition, aluminum roof/hood, and front fenders, split seven -Speaking forged aluminum BBS wheels in "diamond black" finish. HID lamps with integrated fog lamps. HID headlights with integrated fog lights, vortex generator, front brake cooling channels and custom MR badging American.All models are equal in power but may differ in performance. The only thing that distinguishes them is the Evo RS, which is 80 lb (36 kg) lighter than the model MR and SE.Untuk standard model, the package Sun, Sound, and Leather added a power sunroof, HID xenon headlights with integrated fog lamps, head unit stereo slightly different (without integral amplifier), speakers slight upgrade in the front door and the parcel shelf, a 4.1 -Channel amplifier under the driver's seat, a powered, trunk-mounted Infinity subwoofer, black leather surface of the seat, leather-trimmed door panels , center armrest slightly revised front and rear, and a separate rear headrests. This model is primarily removed GSR-mounted sunglass holder to make room for the Evolution IX sunroof.Filipina has until August 2008, which is offered in two trims, the entry-level RS offering a 5-speed manual transmission, Brembo 17-in. ventilated discs (4-Pot), 16-Brembo ventilated disc drum-di- (2-Pot) and almost the same features as the GSR trim in the international version. Some models have the option SAYC RS, while some do not. MR is the segment of top-of-the-line, which offers features similar to those of the MR trim in the international version. Everything is powered by an l4 2.0 4G63 MIVEC turbocharged.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X introduced 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsubishi launches a second concept car, the Prototype-X, at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).Lancer Evolution X sedan features a newly designed 4B11T 2.0L (1998cc) turbocharged, all-aluminum inline-4 engine GEMA. Power and torque depend on the market but all versions will have at least 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). (JDM version), American market version will have slightly more. British model will be reworked by Mitsubishi UK, in accordance with the previous MR Evolutions bearing the FQ badge. Another version is the GSR which will have a system of five-speed manual transmission. S-AWC uses torque vectoring technology to send different amount of torque to each wheel in certain time. This also features Mitsubishi's new sequential semi-automatic six-speed twin-clutch SST transmission with steering wheel-mounted magnesium alloy shift paddles. It has replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission, then replaces the SST version of the GT-A version (used in Evolution Wagon Evolution VII and IX). A five-speed manual gearbox will also be available. Mitsubishi claims that the five-speed manual transmission always been preferred in rallying and should be very smooth, so the more satisfying drive New Lancer Evolution will incorporate Mitsubishi's next-generation RISE body safety. X-Evolution went on sale October 1, 2007, in Japan, January 2008 in the United States, Europe will follow with sales in May, GSR and MR version included premium Package. Lancer Evolution and is expected to close in age 2013.Pengenalan from 2010 MR-Touring cars moves further upmarket. Leather and Moonroof become a standard rear spoiler while revising for just lip spoiler.
Lancer Evo was originally intended only for Japanese markets, but demand in the market "Gray imports" will be distributed through the Lancer Evolution Ralliart dealer network in the UK and across the European market around 1998. Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2003, after witnessing the success Subaru that had been marketed in the United States with his Impreza WRX.
Spec Japanese cars are limited by a gentlemen's agreement to give the performance of not more than 280 PS (206 kW, 276 hp), it has been done by Evolution IV. Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the given power, the Japan-spec, Evolution IX reaching the largest output of around 321 PS (236 kW; 317 hp). Various versions available in the offer, in particular, the United Kingdom, the power generated the highest, up to 411 PS (302 kW; 405 hp).

GT-A has the option to non-spoiler, the short spoiler (as later used on the Evolution VIII 260) or thunder spoiler as used on the standard model Evolution VII. The most distinguishing feature is the smooth cap without air grills on it at all. Despite offering cooling capacity is low, the engine hood is designed to give a clean line through the air with less air resistance on the highway.Interior can be specified with a choice of factory plush velour interior, full leather or the Recaro sports seats. GT-Interior is different because it has chrome door handles, the instrument panel is different (to display gear selection) and chrome edged bezels around the speedo and tach. GT-A also has the additional sound deadening installed from the factory and the engine manifold and downpipe had been engineered to be softer. Gearbox 5-speed automatic has what Mitsubishi called "fuzzy logic", which means that the car will learn what the driver's driving characteristics like that and will adjust the gear change timings and kick down reactions accordingly. The gears can be selected manually as with most Tiptronic through the steering wheel + and - buttons (a pair both sides) or via selecting the Tiptronic gate with the gear lever. Power down slightly from the standard manual car with 264 PS (194 kW; 260 hp). GT-A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII but has been installed on the estate version of the Evolution IX Wagon. He was replaced by Twin Clutch SST gearbox since the introduction of the Evolution X.
Lacer Evolution VIII
Evolution VIII changed again in 2003, this time Sporty 17 "gray Enkei wheel rims, Brembo brakes and shocks Bilstein to handle traction and a 5-speed manual gearbox with 280 PS (202 kW; 276 hp) (about 234 hp with. wheel) Initially one of the models, sales were so successful in the United States that in 2005 it was available in four trims: GSR standard model in Japan, RS, with aluminum roof, 5-speed gearbox, and standard wheels (lacking excess components, such as lights map interior, power windows / doors, and radio), SSL (with a roof, trunk mounted subwoofer, and leather seats), and MR, which comes with a limited-slip differential revised front, aluminum shift knob MR, handbrake grip carbon fiber , 17-inch BBS wheels, aluminum roof, and a 6-speed manual gearbox. The new Evolution also uses chrome tail lamp housing and lamp head.
Lancer Evolution VIII MR uses slick-response Bilstein shocks for better handling. Aluminum roof panel and other weight reduction have lowered the center of gravity to produce more natural roll characteristics. Detailed improvements have also been made for its own electronics hard Mitsubishi 4WD, for the control of the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction, and for the Sports ABS system. Lancer Evolution VIII displayed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. Other parts on the MR include BBS alloy wheels, which are Bilstein shocks. The FQ400, sold through Ralliart England, produces 411 PS (302 kW; 405 hp) of the 2.0 L 4G63 engine company, specially modified with British tuning firm tuning States Rampage, Owen developments, and Flow Race Engines. At 202.9 hp (151.3 kW) per liter, it has one of the highest specific output per liter of any machine road car. With a curb weight of 1,450 kg (£ 3197), it reaches 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, 0-100 mph in 9.1 seconds, quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 117 mph (188 km / h) and the superior speed of 175 mph (282 km / h), while the price of £ 48,000. BBC television series Top Gear demonstrated that the stock FQ-400 could surprisingly keep up with a Lamborghini Murcielago around a test track. Stig recorded a Top Gear Strength Lap Time 1 minute and 24.8 seconds, 1.1 seconds slower than the Murcielago time of 1 minute 23.7 seconds In a similar test conducted by the magazine Evo., Evolution is able to lap the Bedford Autodrome faster than Audi RS4 and Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.
Evolution Lancer Evolution VIII was also first sold in the United States, driven by the success of Subaru Impreza WRX which had been released there just three years earlier. Evolution VIII found the true competition in the Subaru Impreza WRX STI models of the same year with the US introduction Evolution VIII. 2.0-liter engine with 271 horsepower, the 2003 Evolution VIII is able to achieve a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. However, the internal components for the American version largely stripped-down version of the specifications for the Japanese Lancer Evolution VIII. No US-specification Evolution models prior to the Evo X has active yaw control, including the 2006 Evolution IX. In 2003 and 2004 American GSRS is no limited-slip differential front helical and 6-speed manual transmission. The 2004 US specification RS models, however, have a front helical limited-slip differential. All RS 2003, 2004 and 2005 and GSR models have a 5-speed transmission Japanese Evolution VII. MR edition was introduced to the United States in 2005, with ACD and the only model with a 6-speed transmission. The 2005 US specification RS and GSR have the ACD standard, and the front helical limited-slip differential is now standard on all models. Encouragement, time, and tuning are also significantly lower than its Japanese counterpart, which allows it to adhere to stringent US emissions regulations. Since 2005, the United States Model Evos also equipped with a 5000rpm limit on launch in 1st gear to protect the drivetrain. MR and RS editions have an aluminum roof. In addition, MR Edition is equipped with a 6-speed transmission, Bilstein shocks, and factory wheels BBS basic optional.RS Edition does not come with power windows, locks, or Mirror, audio system, rear wing, sound deadening material, map lamps or anti-lock braking system. All Evo VIII RS models sold in the US have a cooling system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set Lancer crash test ratings in the different models.
Lancer Evolution IX
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX exhibited on March 3, 2005, at the Geneva Motor Show for the European market. North American markets saw the model exhibited at the New York International Auto Show next month. The 2.0 L engine Sirius Mitsubishi 4G63 engine has MIVEC technology (variable valve timing) and a revised turbocharger design increase the power output at the crankshaft official to 291 PS (214 kW, 287 hp) and torque of 392 N · m lb (289 · feet). The USDM Lancer Evolution IX models: standard (Grand Sports Rally or "GSR" in some markets), RS (Rally Sport), SE (Special Edition) and MR (Mitsubishi Racing) varied slightly in their performance capabilities. Pernik unique to each model accounted for variations in acceleration, handling, and top speed. RS excluded standard features in standard, SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk and sound insulation layer). The result is a weight saving of more than 60 lb (27 kg). The fuel capacity remains the same as the Evo VIII at 14 USgal (53 L). Although RS is the lightest group, RS not managed to outperform standard IX and MR about the program (though only a fraction of a second). This is supposedly due to lack of rear wing in the RS. In a drag race, the three models are all about even. Time for Miles quarter ranged from 13.4 to 13.7 seconds. RS models manufactured for rally and racing teams who wanted a platform to build a race car from. It is stripped of all creature comforts, and other upgrades pushed up the price for the features race team. Revision addition of 2005 including gear ratios closer to transmission 5-speed manual, a new lightweight Enkei wheels on non-MR model, the front end with a redesigned air dam more efficient (the most noticeable feature is the two-channel small oval to cool intercooler pipes), and a new rear bumper with a diffuser undersurface to smooth out the airflow out of the car for non-US models. In an effort to reduce the rise in prices on the Evolution IX models, [citation needed] HID headlights are no longer standard equipment on IX basis (nor were they standard on the 2005 VIII), and is only available in the package SSL (Sun, Sound, and Leather), SE (Special Edition) and trim MR.Version US on the Lancer Evolution IX does not come with ACD AYC but it was still there. Although the US version does not come with AYC, it did come with a clutch-type rear LSD 1.5way (limited slip differential) which limits the slip of the rear wheels lose traction causing less than the rear wheel. The most common setup is a 1.5 way LSD, locking the throttle and partial locking on braking. In racing, the Lancer Evolutions are not equipped with AYC or ACD because it is believed that a better lap time achieved with a pure driver's skills without the aid based computer system. Once change from the previous iteration of the Lancer Evolution, is a change in the engine, the new 4G63 MIVEC comes with, Mitsubishi's variable valve lift technology, which drastically increases fuel consumption by changing the valve timing on the intake cam. MIVEC system similar to Honda's i-VTEC system simply does not change the valve lift, intake valve timing only. Three trim available for Japan, Asia, and Europe. Although all models use the same 291 PS (214 kW, 287 hp) engine, the torque differs from one model to another. In Europe, however, the Evolution IX was advertised to have 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). GSR produced 400 N · m (295 £ · ft) of torque, while the RS and GT produced 407 N · m (£ 300 · ft).
* RS - "Rally Sport", revised 5-speed, aluminum roof, gauge pack, minimal interior, LSD and a titanium-magnesium turbine, left drive options are available.
* MR RS - same as the RS with a 6-speed Manual Transmission.
* GT - a revised 5-speed, this is basically the RS mechanically, but with some features that GSR (mainly interior pieces).
* GSR - 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, aluminum roof, gauge pack, SAYC (Super Active Yaw Control), and double-din radio (this is roughly equivalent to the USDM MR).
* MR GSR -as GSR with a 17-inch BBS alloy wheels. * MR Tuned by Ralliart - Based on the Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition, the Lancer Evolution IX Japan exclusively tuned by Ralliart Mitsubishi has features similar to the Evo IX MR GSR except for civil Carbon Fiber front spoiler lip, Official Ralliart livery, Ralliart RA04 Black 17- inch aluminum wheels be falsified. In the United Kingdom, the Evolution IX uses a different model scheme based on the horsepower of the car. There were originally three models available: FQ-300, FQ-320 and FQ-340 each with about 300 (296/221), 320 (316/236) and 340 (336/250) PS (BHP / KW) each respectively. Model FQ-360 was later released as the successor to the Evolution VIII FQ-400. While the new FQ-360 produced less horsepower than its predecessor, it is more torque at 363 lb · ft (492 N · m) at 3200 rpm. All four models are designed to run on unleaded gasoline Super alone. FQ-360-6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Ralliart Sports meter kit, a carbon front splitter, wheel Speedline, unleaded gasoline only Super * MR FQ-360 - New turbo with titanium alloy aluminum fins turbo, Turini Speedline alloy wheels, Glass Privacy, Lowered Eibach springs Coil (10mm front / 5mm in rear), IX MR interior, super unleaded gasoline hanyaEmpat models available in the United States. All models use the same 286 hp (213 kW) engine. * Standard - the revised 5-speed models, standard * RS - Ralli sport, revised 5-speed, aluminum roof, sir gauge, interior minimal, there is also a radio * SE - Special Edition, aluminum roof/hood, and front fenders, split seven -Speaking forged aluminum BBS wheels in "diamond black" finish. HID lamps with integrated fog lamps. HID headlights with integrated fog lights, vortex generator, front brake cooling channels and custom MR badging American.All models are equal in power but may differ in performance. The only thing that distinguishes them is the Evo RS, which is 80 lb (36 kg) lighter than the model MR and SE.Untuk standard model, the package Sun, Sound, and Leather added a power sunroof, HID xenon headlights with integrated fog lamps, head unit stereo slightly different (without integral amplifier), speakers slight upgrade in the front door and the parcel shelf, a 4.1 -Channel amplifier under the driver's seat, a powered, trunk-mounted Infinity subwoofer, black leather surface of the seat, leather-trimmed door panels , center armrest slightly revised front and rear, and a separate rear headrests. This model is primarily removed GSR-mounted sunglass holder to make room for the Evolution IX sunroof.Filipina has until August 2008, which is offered in two trims, the entry-level RS offering a 5-speed manual transmission, Brembo 17-in. ventilated discs (4-Pot), 16-Brembo ventilated disc drum-di- (2-Pot) and almost the same features as the GSR trim in the international version. Some models have the option SAYC RS, while some do not. MR is the segment of top-of-the-line, which offers features similar to those of the MR trim in the international version. Everything is powered by an l4 2.0 4G63 MIVEC turbocharged.
Lancer Evolution X
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X introduced 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsubishi launches a second concept car, the Prototype-X, at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).Lancer Evolution X sedan features a newly designed 4B11T 2.0L (1998cc) turbocharged, all-aluminum inline-4 engine GEMA. Power and torque depend on the market but all versions will have at least 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). (JDM version), American market version will have slightly more. British model will be reworked by Mitsubishi UK, in accordance with the previous MR Evolutions bearing the FQ badge. Another version is the GSR which will have a system of five-speed manual transmission. S-AWC uses torque vectoring technology to send different amount of torque to each wheel in certain time. This also features Mitsubishi's new sequential semi-automatic six-speed twin-clutch SST transmission with steering wheel-mounted magnesium alloy shift paddles. It has replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission, then replaces the SST version of the GT-A version (used in Evolution Wagon Evolution VII and IX). A five-speed manual gearbox will also be available. Mitsubishi claims that the five-speed manual transmission always been preferred in rallying and should be very smooth, so the more satisfying drive New Lancer Evolution will incorporate Mitsubishi's next-generation RISE body safety. X-Evolution went on sale October 1, 2007, in Japan, January 2008 in the United States, Europe will follow with sales in May, GSR and MR version included premium Package. Lancer Evolution and is expected to close in age 2013.Pengenalan from 2010 MR-Touring cars moves further upmarket. Leather and Moonroof become a standard rear spoiler while revising for just lip spoiler.
