New 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer - New and Future Cars

The beloved, overachieving current-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X—the epitome of a rally car for the street, capable of conquering many so-called “sports cars” that cost far more—may be going the way of the dodo bird. Rumor has it that Mitsubishi will retire the legendary model for greener pastures after the Evo X’s production run ends. And our sources report that “green” is indeed the new policy for Mitsu­bishi these days. We hear that the company, conforming to the laws of automotive natural selection that favor a more environmentally friendly species of transport, is working on a new 300-plus-bhp sports sedan that will come wrapped in a more attractive upscale package, with either a turbocharged diesel engine or diesel hybrid under the hood. The car will be slightly larger than today’s Evo and get as much as 35 mpg combined. Greener for sure, and all this with the added benefit of having more torque on tap, due to the stout grunt today’s clean diesels deliver with their improved throttle response.

Likely to be built in China or Thailand—marking a significant change, as all Evos to date have been built in Japan—the replacement car is yet to be named, but should come out sometime in 2012. Our sources also tell us it will be less of a hard-core sports car/sedan and more of a supremely versatile, high-performance GT; one that might approach the ideal of an Audi S4 or BMW 335i, with prices in the $30,000 range. All-wheel drive, with perhaps a 4-wheel steering option, will continue to make this new Mitsubishi as capable in rain and snow as it is on the track, while a possible roll-stabilizing suspension system should improve the passengers’ in-cabin experience, as well as making the chassis more responsive to the driver.

If the Green Revolution spawns an evolution of one of our favorite performance cars...then the future not only looks cleaner, but brighter too.

Mitsubishi’s i Electric Car Debuts In Los Angeles

Want your electric car to have a three-diamond logo on the front? Mitsubishi will launch the U.S. version of its i MiEV (called the Mitsubishi “i” on these shores) in 2011, but they’ve rolled it out on display at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show. What works in Tokyo doesn’t necessarily work in the United States, so U.S. i models received a thorough reworking to meet federal crash standards and the preferences of U.S. customers. In Japan, the i MiEV is 134 inches long and 58 inches wide; for the U.S. market, it grows to 145 inches long and 63 inches wide. U.S. customers will get more amenities and safety features as well, including tire pressure monitoring, air conditioning, advanced airbags and electronic stability control.

When we’re talking about electric vehicles, bigger isn’t necessarily better. The upsizing of the i for the U.S. comes at a price: in the EU (which uses a different evaluation standard for measuring range), the i MiEV has an estimated range of 150 kilometers, or 93 miles. U.S. versions will get an estimated range of 50 to 80 miles, depending upon driving conditions and accessory items used. Crank up the heat, turn on the rear defrosted and heated seats, then mash the accelerator to the floor as you climb Colorado’s Eisenhower Pass in I-70, and you’ll be hard pressed to get 50 miles per charge. Draft a semi going down the pass, with lots of electricity producing regenerative braking, and you may even do even better than the EU rating. That’s really the problem with pure EVs: you never know exactly what your range will be, as it will vary with traffic, driving style and environmental conditions.

When the i is out of electrons, it can be recharged on household current, with a 240 volt Level 2 charger or with a “quick charge” Level 3 charger. Level 1 charging (on 110v service) takes about eight hours, with Level 2 taking about 4 hours and Level 3 about 30 minutes. Level 3 charging won’t completely charge the i’s batteries, but it will give about 80% capacity, or enough range for about 40 more miles.

Look for the i to go on sale here by the end of 2011. Mitsubishi is targeting a list price under $30,000 before any federal electric vehicle rebates, which could make the i the most attractively priced commuter EV.

For 2009, the Ralliart is unoccupied solely with the TC SST transmission, admitting that Mitsubishi has prescribed the conceivability of a 5 speed transmission at a later date. The TC SST transmission provided in the Ralliart offers 2 modes (Normal, Sport) instead of the 3 modes the same transmission offers in the Lancer Evolution X MR (Normal, Sport, S Sport).

The auto likewise combines a simplified rendition of the Evolution X's AWD framework (taken straightforwardly from the EVO IX), with a basic "mechanical restrained slip" rear differential. Consistent with Edmunds. Com the Ralliart model underperformed the GTS in certain tests, considering the skidpad, slalom, and braking separation. Then again, the Ralliart outperformed the GTS in other tests, combining 0 60 and the quarter mile.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback

Lancer, good. Lancer Sportback, better. Lancer Sportback Ralliart, better still. The hatchified version of Mitsubishi's Lancer was confirmed earlier this year to go on sale as a 2010 model. For the first two-thirds, it's a normal Lancer, but out back there's a smidge of extra length and a newly fattened C-Pillar for the practical hatch profile. Not only is it sporting smart-looking hatchy excellence, the Lancer Sportback glowers at the Subaru Impreza and says "bring it."
Tweaking an Impreza's nose is best done when you're rocking the $27,590 Lancer Sportback Ralliart. The entry GTS serves up the style and utility for a reasonable $19,190, but the 2.4-liter four cylinder's 168 horsepower, while good, doesn't exactly get enthusiast blood boiling. If you want your Sportback GTS to shift itself, it will start at $20,190 and pack a CVT with magnesium shift paddles and six fixed ratios to emulate more conventional transmissions.
Real performance isn't the exclusive domain of the Evo. In fact, the Lancer Sportback Ralliart is something of a 2/3 Evo, running an underachieving version of that car's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine spitting out 237 horsepower through all four wheels either via a twin-clutch paddle-shifted six-speed. More hatches are always good, and more higher-performance hatches are even more welcome.

NEW Mitsubishi Lancer CARS REVIEWS

Recently Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia unveiled the new Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, and the hatchback’s arrival expands the the Lancer range in the country to two model and three variant types, the GT and EX sedans being the others.

The fully-imported, five-door C-segment offering, which Danny Tan reviewed in Japan, is available only in 2.4 litre form here, and the 4B12 four-cylinder pot – also worn by likes of the Outlander – puts out 168 hp at 6,000rpm and 226Nm of torque at 4,100rpm. The block is mated an Invecs-III CVT box with a six-speed manual mode.

The main draw with this 1,415 kg creature, besides its sporty outlook, is in its cargo space – while no van, the 60:40 one-touch folding rear seats get to about 10-degrees from completely flat, and in a seat-stored position you get a cargo space that’s 1,570mm deep and 1,395mm wide, which is pretty decent. In base form the boot is good for 345 litres of space.

The Mitsubishi Sportback builds on the already competent Lancer sedan, although the overall length is slightly longer to accommodate the new hatch.

Mitsubishi Evo Tommi Makinen

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is so much associated with the World Rally Championships, and of course, to Tommi Makinen. The car brand gained so much fame in the WRC because of Tommi and the car itself. In anyway we look at it, the Evolution is definitely one of the best race cars ever invented.Lancer Evolution has received several awards worldwide. In Canada, the Evolution X is named as the Best Performance Car under $50K by Motoring 2009. It also won the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada 2009 Best New Technology Award and in 2008 earned IIHS Top Safety Pick. During 2009 New York International Auto Show Lancer Evolution X is Announced as one of the top 10 World Performance Car of the Year. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution won Automotive Excellence Awards 2008 "Fun to Drive" and It took Dave TV’s “2008 Sports Car of the Year” award. The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution won ConsumerSearch's best Aggressive sports sedan in Best Sports Sedans in June 2006. The car also received recognitions from Scotland, France, Greece, United States and Australia.Obviously, the most popular edition of Evolution is the Evolution VI. This edition already had an initial release but was revived in 1999 to pay tribute to the best Mitsubishi car driver, “Turbo” Tommi Makinen of Finland. He is the Finnish Rally Drive who won four Mitsubishi WRC Driver's Championship and also the reason why Mitsubishi received international mentions. With that achievement, he surely deserves this tribute.The Tommi Makinen Edition is very different from the original Evolution 6. This special edition, sometimes called as Evolution 6 ½, Evo 6.5 or TME, has a different bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats embossed with T. Makinen logo, 17" Enkei white wheels, a leather Momo steering wheel and shift knob, a titanium turbine that spooled up quicker, front upper strut brace, lowered ride height (with tarmac stages in mind), and a quicker steering ratio. You can buy it red, white, blue, black or silver with optional special decals that immitates Makinen's rally car color scheme.The special features of the Evolution VI Tommi Makinen edition stands out compared to other Evolution being released. For the road performance, there is the high-response titanium turbocharger that gives better low-end and mid-range torque, using a smaller, shape-optimized compressor wheel. There is tarmac suspension that is tuned to give a better initial response on tarmac surfaces and a new muffler that uses a single large bore circular tailpipe for a more quiet performance.The exterior of the Evolution 6 also makes the difference. The front bumper features a new powerful design that improves aerodynamics and lowers air intake temperature to stabilize power output characteristics. Its 17-inch alloy wheels shares the same design as on Mitsubishi's WRC Group-A works car. There is also a special coloring package that comprises WRC stripe, Ralliart decals, Mitsubishi 3-diamond decal on ends of rear spoiler, upper wing section of rear spoiler finished in white, rear panel garnish, body-keyed door sashes, amber front indicator lenses, door handles finished in black.On its interior design, you will find Recarro bucket seats that uses red fabric embroidered with Tommi Makinen logo. Its dashboard is finished in black with red lettering while MOMO steering wheel and gear stick knob and boot are trimmed in red-stitch leather.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO cars

One of the most successful rally cars is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, popularly known as “Evo”. It became immensely popular when it was driven by Tommi Makinen in 1996 to 1999. Back then, Evo collected World Rally Championship titles in three consecutive years. He was helped by Richard Burns making them earn the best team in rallying. In 2001, it was not exactly replaced, but improved by the name of Lancer Evolution WRC, driven by Makinen, Freddy Loix, Alister McRae and Francis Delecour. Mitsubishi Lancer was again succeeded by the Lancer WRC04. Mitsubishi pulled out of the World Rally Championship after the 2005 season but the Lancer Evolution still competes in the Group N category.

It is not just in racing that the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution proved its name. The EVO X was named as Canada's Best Performance Car of the Year under $50K by Motoring 2009. It also won the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada 2009 Best New Technology Award, 2008 IIHS Top Safety Pick, one of the top 10 World Performance Car of the Year during 2009 New York International Auto Show Lancer Evolution X. won Automotive Excellence Awards 2008 "Fun to Drive", Dave TV’s “2008 Sports Car of the Year” award, and a whole lot more.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, first intorduced in 1993, was intended for the Japanese market, but because of popular demand, it was offered through Ralliart dealer networks in UK and other European market in 1998. Now, the very competitive car has released ten official versions, so far. Each versions are titled as Evo, followed by Roman Numerals. They all carry two litre, turbocharged engines and four-wheel drive systems. Mitsubishi Lancer is sold around the world.

Its latest generation, the Evolution X(ten) was first seen at the 39^th Tokyo Motor Show. It was named as the Concept-X. And in the 2007 North American International Auto Show, a second version was launched called Prototype-X. This time, the Evo X carries a newly designed 4B11T 2.0l (1997cc) turbocharged, all-aluminum inline-4 engine. It will be manufactured in different markets, where the power and torque will be determined. You may find a Japanese model, North American, UK, European, Australian and New Zealand models and South East Asian models. But despite this, all versions will have at least 280PS (205.9kW; 276.2hp) (JDM version).

The body will be lighter now because of the aluminum roof, hood, front quarter-panels, and front and rear bumper beams. The new suspension uses aluminum as well. But the weight saving is more than offset by the new car's stiffer structure and 1.6-inch-wider body. The interior of the 2008 Lancer Evolution is very similar to the regular Lancer lineup and not nearly as sport oriented as its muscular exterior might indicate, with nice Recaro sport bucket seats, a handsome steering wheel and a slightly more exciting looking instrument panel being the only real interior differences between the Evolution and its lower priced and less powerful Lancer siblings.

Mitsubishi Motors to Test Electric Delivery Vehicles

Mitsubishi Motors Corp and Yamato Transport Co Ltd will start a field test of an electric pickup and delivery vehicle prototyped by Mitsubishi Motors.
The prototyped vehicle will be deployed in Yamato Transport's delivery center in Tokyo Oct 15, 2010. And the two companies will evaluate its practicality by collecting data from the vehicle in operation and analyzing it.
The electric vehicle (EV) to be tested is based on Mitsubishi Motors' "Minicab Van" gasoline-driven commercial light van. The company used the motor and the lithium-ion rechargeable battery of its "i-MiEV" EV for the prototyped EV.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Japanese models

The engine is the 4B11-type 2.0 litre inline-4 turbo engine. Evolution X can get to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Aluminum is used in the roof panel, front fenders and the rear spoiler frame structure. Launch model's engine was rated 280 PS (210 kW; 280 hp)@6500rpm and 422 N·m (311 lb·ft)@3500rpm. Following the repeal of 280 horsepower law in Japan,[24] engine power was raised to 300 PS (220 kW; 300 hp)@6500rpm beginning in 2009 model year.
