Berkemungkinan ramai yang sudah tahu tentang pembelian Mitsubishi Evo X oleh PDRM,so bagi yang masih lagi tercari-cari inilah dia gambaran sebenar,gambaran yang telah menjadi realiti.Tersergam gagah jentera ini dijalanan kelak,bakal menyusuri jalan-jalan di sekitar anda,tetapi melihat pada nama 'Mitsubishi Evolution X' mesti ramai yang membayangkan tugas sebenarnya termasuklah saya sendiri.Lebih sesuai jika menjadi peronda lebuhraya atau mungkinkah adegan kejar mengejar 'mat rempit'@'mat kereta' akan bermula??siapa tahu...
- First previewed in 2007, the all-new tenth-generation Lancer Evolution was introduced by Mitsubishi
for the 2008 model year, continuing the nameplate's tradition of high performance in a small-displacement four-passenger sedan.
The Evo X is offered in two trim levels. The entry-level GSR is offered with a five-speed manual transmission, Recaro Sport seats and Enkei wheels, as well as optional spoiler, HID headlights, and upgraded sound system.
The upgraded MR includes
Mitsubishi's new Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST), Eibach springs and Bilstein shock absorbers, lightweight brake rotors and BBS forged-alloy wheels, and extra sound insulation, as well as optional navigation, upgraded audio with Sirius Satellite reception, and leather seats.
Both trim levels feature the new all-aluminum 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder MIVEC4 motor producing 295 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque and Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) drive system.
The S-AWC system, which regulates torque and braking at each wheel includes a bevy of acronyms: ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Center Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS, an ABS system designed for aggressive driving. The biggest difference over the outgoing car is the large number of yaw sensors included in the system, all designed to keep the Evo X on its intended path. The S-AWC system can be set for three different road surfaces: tarmac (standard), ice and gravel
The Twin Clutch SST on the MR appears similar to Audi/VW's DSG system; even and odd gears are on separate clutches for rapid-fire shifting and no torque loss between gears. Shifting of the TC-SST is controlled by alloy paddles on the steering wheel or the gear shift lever when in manual mode, and by the engine computer in automatic mode. The system has three modes: Normal, Sport and S-Sport, the latter providing the most aggressive, fast shifts.
Safety measures include the Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) unibody system to disperse energy in front and side impact collisions and protect the fuel system from rear impact, and front and side impact air bags, plus a driver's knee air bag.
