Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution IX
For
almost a decade the magnificent Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been
carving a reputation as the supercar slayer. It has, quite literally,
set the pace in four-wheel transport, for when it comes to blitzing
the distance from point A to point B nothing, but nothing else comes
close. Except, of course, the next evolution of the Lancer Evolution.
Welcome
to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. "Even better than ever"
say Autocar: "the way it fuses supercar performance with advanced
all-drive grip and traction seems more the stuff of Gran Turismo 4 than
mechanical engineering," they rave.
If
the Lancer Evolution was known for just one thing it would be its
ability to harness power and transfer it to the road with awesome
effectiveness, thanks, in the main, to one of the most sophisticated
four-wheel-drive systems of any road-going car. The electronically-controlled
Active Centre Differential optimally apportions power between the
front and rear axles, with settings for tarmac, gravel or snow surfaces
to allow you to programme in the prevailing road conditions for maximum
benefit. This operates in conjunction with the Super Active Yaw Control
system, fitted to the rear differential, which transfers torque between
the rear wheels as required
Integrated
control between the systems helps to suppress wheel spin in tight turns
or under-steer during high-speed cornering, so ensuring stable traction
at all times. Furthermore, drawing on their rallying expertise, the
Lancer Evolution IX has been refined to ensure that both the ACD and
Super AYC remain active even when the Sports ABS comes into operation
because, when the race is on, the brakes are not used merely to stop
the car, but also to prepare it for the next awesome blast of acceleration.
