Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII (Part 1)

And they VIII, but the brand has announced that there will be Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX, X and XI, always based on the Lancer. Since the first version of the model, launched in the early 90s, the Mitsubishi Lancer has become one of the favorite models among car lovers and sports professionals themselves. And of course, as there are very few alternatives to this type of vehicle as prestacionales and effective in both asphalt and gravel. An important development in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII is marketing that can be purchased at any of the dealers in the European network of the brand-like any other-and now Mitsubishi has the official brand guarantee of three years.

The new generation model, which gives 15 hp in the European version compared to the previous, it is more convenient to use on a daily basis, as they have optimized many of its sections.

The heart of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is a four-cylinder, two-liter, 16-valve cylinder head with turbocharger and intercooler. In European specifications develops 265 hp at 6,500 rpm and features a pair of 36.2 mkg at 3,500 rpm. This power loss with respect to the above is due to the necessary taper for the environment, so it has been necessary not only to adapt the engine management but also the exhaust, using metal catalysts instead of conventional ceramics. As was the case with previous editions of the model, there will be specific enhancement kits for customers who want to tailor your unit needs the competition.

Also modified management electronics allowing torque figure is in a higher range of use, increased flow of the water pump and the cooling circuit and the engine is lightened by the addition of new pistons and connecting rods.

It has remained the five-speed box (sold in Japan with six speeds and 280 hp) with the intention of promoting the car's sporty character.

But the most important chapter of the transmission has been the evolution of drift control system (Super AYC), which uses planetary gears instead of tapered, thereby doubles the torque delivery that can be transferred between rear wheels. This device acts as a limited slip differential.

According announces the brand; with the new transmission system is achieved cornering 10 percent faster.
