Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Expected in Late 2010
Estimated price: Rs 45-50lakh
The Mitsubishi Evo X was introduced as a concept (named as Concept-X) at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. This was designed by Omer Halilhozdic. Later on Mitsubishi unveiled the second concept car, the Prototype-X at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. Mitsubishi India launched the Cedia in 2007, which was the ninth generation of the Lancer. Now, Mitsubishi gears up to launch the tenth-generation of the Lancer, the Evo X.
Design:
Manufacturers today are following a certain design theme, so that all the cars from their stable retain the common family look. Mitsubishi is trying to do the same thing. The new Outlander and the to-be-launched Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X have a similar front grille and styling. the Evo X will come with 18-inch alloys and 245/40/R18 Dunlop tyres, Brembo brakes, Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs.
Interior quality has also improved and is more modern as well. The overall interior design with black and silver styling gives it a rich feel. The Evo X will come with an option of Rockford Fosgate sound system that delivers sound through a 650-watt amplifier and nine speakers (the same one which saw on the Outlander).
Powerplant:
The Lancer Evolution X gets a newly designed 4B11T 2.0-litre turbocharged, all-aluminum inline-4 petrol engine. This engine churns out 294bhp of power and produces 366Nm of maximum torque. This engine has double overhead camshaft and it redlines at 7800rpm.
The Lancer Evolution X a six-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST). The sedan also gets a new full-time four-wheel drive system named S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), which is Mitsubishi's newer version of AWC system used in previous generations.The S-AWC uses torque vectoring technology which can send out different amount of torque to any wheel at any given time.
Overall Evaluation:
The Lancer Evolution X at Rs 45-50lakh becomes a bit too expensive considering the fact that its a CBU. However, still with all the bells and whistles the Lancer Evo X comes loaded with, one can willing spend the extra bucks to get something which is this powerful and so much fun to drive.
