Mitsubishi iMiEV Evolution: electric car prepared for circuit

Mitsubishi iMiEV Evolution
Mitsubishi iMiEV Evolution: electric car prepared for circuit. The electric vehicle industry is present in Spain and in the rest of the territories, but by far not the best choice to represent your own vehicle move. However, as we slowly evolves and found very significant developments that make progress. Just today we speak of Evolution, the name given to the most radical version of the Mitsubishi iMiEV, a small all-electric now adapts to the world of motor racing, assuming the quiet and efficient version.

The Mitsubishi iMiEV is available in European showrooms from early 2011 until today has always seemed a compact with an aesthetic very similar to that followed by Smart, with a relatively small wheelbase, and still have five doors and five real seats. This is one of the first choices showing good electric characteristics.

At the Paris Motor Show which was held in recent weeks, have not filed Mitsubishi iMiEV we already knew, but it has exhibited the new iMiEV Evolution, the version prepared for any type of race car.

A flawless outside
when at the same fair in Paris saw the first iMiEV Evolution, we hardly recognized him as apparently has nothing to do with the choice we knew so far. While it is true that if you look at the main structure of the product, we found that another model is unmistakable.

The widening body has suffered not amazing, but the following. It has reached a level unthinkable considering what car we were dealing with. In the front bumper there is a large intake of cooling, while the sides are released new wheel passes very exaggerated dimensions. In the back, we find a diffuser emulator, and it has no tailpipe, and completes the set with an impressive rear wing.

Prepared for the Pikes Peak
Noting the dimensions and characteristics that the new Mitsubishi iMiEV Evolution, we can get an idea that has been adapted for racing, but the truth is that it was not prepared for any event, this is the famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, one of the biggest and most famous races in the United States, which is held every July 4 and is up a huge hill with a height of 20,000 meters.

From Mitsubishi have introduced the challenge of getting the best time to climb in the section of electric vehicles for the next edition, for the July 4, 2013. By then, the manufacturer has time to keep progressing with the iMiEV Evolution.

While the small electric Mitsubishi struggle in international markets with other vehicles in the segment, as the Peugeot iOn, the Evolution version will face next year against large vehicle equipped with 900 hp capable of ascending a hill in 9 minutes.
