Mitsubishi Lancer Evo XI: hybrid sports

The next Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI will be characterized by the presence of a hybrid drive scheme, which is in all respects a novelty in the history of this sport sedan with a strong.


The president and CEO of Mitsubishi said that the next Lancer Evo XI will not lose its character and remain able to offer excellent performance, though its aim is to open up horizons "green", thus following in the middle of the current tendency going through the designs of all manufacturers.

Masuko did not explain the technical details of the next generation of the Lancer, but some items considered quite reliable speak the use of technology already seen on the concept PX-MiEV, Mitsubishi presented at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. A solution that, if confirmed, would imply the use of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine mated to an electric motor powered by lithium-ion battery.

The working scheme provides for the use of the electric motor at low and mid range, then using the power of the gasoline engine at high revs, that would be required when driving the car a more brilliant. The hybrid technology will complement the technologies that fans already know the model as seen on the current generation, such as the S-AWC all-wheel drive and active yaw control, and seems to have been ruled out a possibility that was initially considered to be valid and provided for the use of a diesel engine and an electric, probably because it was deemed unfit to provide the desired performance.
