2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI Hybrid
The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI will be anything but your standard hybrid.
Instead the electric motor will drive the front wheels and the 2.0-litre will kick in to drive the rear when called upon.
“The new electric motor will effectively work like a turbo, only smoother, so there’s no need to worry about power delivery,” he said.
A new electronically controlled yaw control system that regulates rear-wheel torque distribution will also make an appearance.
The Evo-loving world was in shambles after Mitsubishi Global Product Director, Gayu Eusegi, announced that the company would be killing off the all-wheel-drive turbocharged Lancer Evolution. Now, Masuko has offered even more details for the future of the Evo to Japanese magazine, Best Car, stating that "Mitsubishi is fully intent on producing a high-performance car in the future, albeit green." Yeah, join the club, Masuko.
The rumor has long been that the Evo XI would be a diesel-electric hybrid. The electric motors will power the vehicle at low to middle speeds, while the engine will kick on at high speeds.
Mitsubishi plans to make cars that are environmentally friendly and a hybrid car. Aikawa Testuro Mitsubishi executive said that they were testing a prototype Evo equipped with PX, and “we see That Could well in the Evo system within the next couple of years.”
The Evo is one of the best car ever offered by Mitsubishi and has fans everywhere. Mitsubishi will release the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI and will serve as a hybrid car that has a beautiful design and extreme, yet efficient.
The next-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evo could use a plug-in hybrid system that is being shown at the Tokyo motor show, sources have told Autocar.
It also delivers over 140mpg economy, Mitsubishi says.
