The next generation of Mitsubishi Lancer offers interesting technological solutions that make it one of the most efficient cars on the market. With an output of 265 hp and a sophisticated permanent all-wheel drive, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII is a model "street" virtually unbeatable.

The permanent set of the transmission,Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII (Part 2) Articles called AWC (All Wheel Control) is composed of a limited slip differential, a center differential active (ACD) which allows the distribution from 50 to 100 percent of the couple to each of the axes and coordinates with a hydraulic (pressure can intervene or address) and a drift control system overactive (Super AYC).

Under normal braking or transmission system divides his EVO VIII 50 percent torque between the two axles. When addressing turns unlocks the differential system to allow better registration, at the time, the couple transferred AYC right or left wheel to reduce under steer. After reaching the apex of the turn, the ACD relock again for maximum traction and allow out of the corner faster.

On curves, without the AYC, the car tends to go off on a tangent. With this system, you can send more torque to the outside wheel to the inside; it helps keep the vehicle from the ideal trajectory.

This system improves performance in cornering and acceleration and can transfer torque between the rear wheels. On slippery surfaces increases stability by allowing greater mobility;

AWC incorporates a selector three modes: Tarmac, Gravel and Show (asphalt, dirt and snow) amending the transmission management to allow faster response function the surface that moves the EVO.

Other differences that present the model in the dynamic section are the new lightweight alloy wheels ENTEL, with specific tires Bridgestone 235/45 R17W (previously used Yokohama); Brembo ventilated discs 320 mm with aluminum calipers with four pistons in the front and 300 mm ventilated discs with two-piston calipers in the rear.

Meanwhile the suspensions have been optimized with new supports stronger and lighter. We have also installed a new carrier for direction, with the intention of improving the accuracy of the line and the perception of the driver.

The transmission system comprises the AWC LSD ACD + + + Super AYC Sports ABS = EVO VIII ESP.

According announces the brand, the body is 30 percent stiffer in torsion, presents a more favorable drag coefficient Cx = 0.36 (0.01 to improving previous Mitsubishi Lancer Evo) and is a little lighter, as it have incorporated some elements of it in aluminum, as the bonnet and wheel arches, and other fiber and resin, as the bottom of the front bumper.

Aesthetically quite been retouched the front, which incorporates the new brand image (Colt and Grandis), with larger and logo embossed new optimized air intakes in the lower bumper grille and a continuous, more large, on the plane of the front hood. At the rear new light clusters are incorporated with transparent lampshades and a standard rear spoiler more discreet. However, the brand offers a larger spoiler, made of carbon fiber, which increases the load on the rear rail 15 kg when traveling at 100 km / h. This, which is done by hand, has an additional cost of $ 1,000.

Inside, little change, new seats-Recaro-type bacquet broader and leather upholstery option. Although there are few concessions to luxury remains central locking, sound equipment or air conditioning.
