Ever since the Lancer Prototype-S was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March, excitement has been building about the launch of the production version. We can now reveal that the wait is almost over – welcome to the new Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart.
Taking much of its design and specification from the acclaimed Lancer Evolution X, the Lancer Sportback Ralliart features state-of-the-art technology and aggressive good looks to redefine the hot hatch.
The Lancer Sportback Ralliart features a dual valve, variable valve timing two litre turbo engine, producing 240PS. This is mated to Mitsubishi's outstanding new 6 speed Twin Clutch Sports Shift Transmission, which has already received critical acclaim in the new Lancer Evolution X. The TC-SST transmission allows the driver to select between manual mode using a paddle shift mechanism, semi-auto mode, or full auto mode. It also comes with two driving modes; normal and sport to cover every type of desired driving style. The performance that this engine and transmission combination produces is transferred to the road via the legendary Mitsubishi four wheel drive system.
When the Lancer Sportback Ralliart is launched in 2009, it will bring unprecedented levels of performance, technology and equipment to the performance hatchback market.
Following the successful debut of the Works Mitsubishi Motors UK Lancer Evolution X race car in the Britcar 24hr Endurance race at Silverstone in September, Mitsubishi Motors revealed how its road-going cousin could look. On Thursday 30th October, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Concept 400 was unveiled at the MPH Show at Earls Court in London.
Click to expand Register your interestThe Lancer Evolution X Concept 400 is the spiritual successor to the awesome Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400, which famously eclipsed a £303,000 Pagani Zonda in the October 2004 issue of Car Magazine. Summing up, Angus Fitton commented of the Lancer Evolution VIII:
"This is a supercar slayer without the need for any explanation or excuse. No ifs, no buts. Point to point it's much, much faster than any supercar. In the real world, where the roads are narrow, where it rains and where you've spent your £300k on a house, nothing comes close."
Now, the Concept 400 brings this supercar-slaying performance to the sophisticated Lancer Evolution X package. Featuring custom-made engine upgrades to unleash 405bhp and 400lb.ft of torque, a bespoke aerodynamic package, an Alcon 6 pot Monoblock braking system and much more, the Lancer Evolution X Concept 400 truly is the ultimate Evolution.

The new MiEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) is coming soon and is
set to revolutionise the way you think about cars.
Driving pleasure, safety, and environment-friendliness are the goals for the near future that Mitsubishi Motors strives for as a manufacturer. Mi-EV is a research vehicle filled with Mitsubishi Motors’ innovative technologies including high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and a high performance compact motor to name but a few.
In conjunction with power companies, Mitsubishi Motors has been conducting joint research programs and fleet monitoring tests using the Mi-EV , collecting field test data to improve the EV for future commercial application.
Based in the i’s rear-midship layout platform, Mi-EV replaces the conventional engine and fuel tank with a lithium-ion battery system, motor, inverter and other EV components. Mi-EV ensures ample cabin space for up to 4 passengers, along with a good size luggage compartment in the rear. The installation of batteries under the floor lowers the centre of gravity, providing a more stable and dynamic drive. The target range with a single charge was 160km for fleet test vehicles in 2007.
Mi-EV can be charged in several different ways: the Household Charger System for charging at home or a parking lot and the Quick Charger System for speedy charging. The Household Charger System will charge the Mi-EV from either a 100V or 200V ordinary plug located on the right side of the vehicle. Using less expensive midnight power, Mi-EV can be charged economically in as little as 7 hours on a 200V system.
With the Quick Charger System, Mi-EV could be charged via a Quick Charger plug located on the left side of the vehicle. Using a 3-phase 200V 50kW Quick Charger System, Mi-EV could be charged to 80% peak in as little as 30 minutes.
