The main features of the Lancer Evolution IX are :
The Lancer Evolution IX is powered by an improved version of the 2.0liter
L-4 16-valve DOHC MIVEC 4G63 engine with intercooler that develops maximum
of 280 horsepower and 40.8kg-m of torque. The 4G63 engine adopts MIVEC
variable valve timing technology that improves fuel efficiency.
On GSR, shape of the turbine compressor-housing's diffuser has been
improved to generate more torque at low and mid range.
On the RS and GT, the turbocharger compressor wheel uses magnesium alloy
instead of aluminum alloy. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox with higher torque
capacity, the engine has been tuned to generate maximum torque of 41.5kg-m.
The Lancer Evolution IX GSR adopts a 6 speed close-ratio manual gearbox,
and the RS and the GT adopt a 5 speed close-ratio competition manual
gearbox.
The Lancer Evolution IX GSR uses the all-wheel control system comprising
ACD, Super AYC, and Sports ABS.
ACD (Active Center Differential) : The ACD incorporates an electronically
controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch. An ECU optimizes clutch cover
clamp load for different driving conditions, regulating the differential
limiting action between free and locked states. ACD provides three modes
[ Tarmac, Gravel, Snow ] to enable quicker control response for changes
in road surface. A single ECU provides integrated management of both ACD
and Super AYC components.
Super AYC (Active Yaw Control) : Mitsubishi's Active Yaw Control system
uses a torque-transfer mechanism in the rear differential. Under ECU control,
the system operates to raise cornering performance by transferring torque
between the rear wheels as dictated by driving conditions and so control
the yaw moment acting on the car body.
Sport ABS braking with EBD : The system ECU uses information from a steering
angle sensor that detects steering inputs as well as from lateral G and
vehicle speed sensors to apportion pressure to each of the four wheels
independently. Increasing the pressure applied to the rear wheels when
braking close to the limit, EBD reduces the load on the front wheels to
realize better anti-fade performance.
The main features of the Lancer Evolution IX MR are :
Apart from optimizing the MIVEC engine response has been improved by
changing the material used for the turbocharger's turbine wheel from Inconel (a
nickel-chrome alloy) to a titanium-aluminum alloy and reducing the compressor
wheel inlet diameter.
Flexible EIBACH coil springs, combined with BILSTEIN, give higher spring
rates than those utilized on earlier models. The Super AYC system that provides
electronic control for the 4WD system has been tuned to give a sportier feeling.
The GSR is fitted as standard with the new
designed front bumper, ENKEI 17-inch lightweight aluminum wheels, the rear doors
privacy glass, rear windows privacy glass, full bucket seats by Recaro, and six
speakers.
