Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9: specifications

For sure, each of us saw the ninth "Lancer". Now it can be found in almost every yard. However, few people saw a live version of this civilian sedan. So, meet - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9. Technical characteristics of the car, design and cost - further in our article.

Design

For the first time this machine was born in 2005. It became the successor of the previous generation of Lancer-Evolution vehicles. Externally, the eighth and ninth "Lancer" are very similar. However, this does not apply to the civil version of the "nine". It looks different. Yes, this is the same painfully familiar look of a budget S-class sedan. However, the version of "Evolution" in the ninth generation differs from the usual cardinally. The Lancer Evo 9 has a stylish and dynamic look. Tuning was performed not only inside, but also outside. First of all, this concerns optics. On the usual "nine" it is more modest, triangular and stretched to the top of the wing. Here, all the way around. Lancer Evo 9 - a kind of formidable samurai, ready to break from a place at any second. The car is distinguished by a relief hood, numerous skirts and an aerodynamic bumper. The latter has a special cutout, but not for fogs, but for cold air intake. Running forward, we note that this car is turbocharged and equipped with an intercooler, so it is so important for it to be of high-quality cooling. Behind the dynamic image is added a high speler and diffusers. The exhaust is located at the right edge of the bumper. All plastic skirts contribute to the best clamping force, which is necessary at high speeds.

As for the sizes, they are almost identical to the civilian "Lancer" (at least fit into the C-class). So, the length of the car Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 is 4.5 meters, width - 1.77 m, height - 1.45 m. The width of the rear and front track is the same and equal to 1515 millimeters. The ground clearance is very small, which is confirmed by the owners of Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9. Tuning makes itself felt - 14 centimeters is enough only for perfectly flat roads. For the city on this car is better not to go. Those who want to make a car Mitsubishi Lancer 9 tuning for Evo, it is worth considering this.

Salon

Inside the machine is not as surprising as it looks. Here still hard plastic and civilian panel lines. The handlebars are three-spoke, with a very comfortable grip. The central console has all the necessary controls. On more "evil" versions, sensors "boost" are additionally displayed. Seats, unlike civilian versions, are made of quality Alcantara and have pronounced lateral support (you can say, full-fledged "buckets").

The speedometer on the instrument panel has a scale of 0-270, the tachometer is designed for 9 thousand turns - this is certainly not in the civil "Lancer". Sportiness in the interior is added factory patches on the pedals, stylized for aluminum. To drive a car Lancer Evo 9 is quite convenient - the steering wheel is adjustable in two directions, the seat seems to envelop you from all sides. There is a sufficient stock of seat adjustments in both the driver's and the passenger's seat. Behind there is a three-seater sofa with an armrest in the center. Inside the cupholders are built. Rear seats are missing, despite the fact that the Lancer Evo 9 belongs to the C-segment.

Specifications

The main difference between the Evolution model is a powerful engine. Under the hood of the Lancer Evo 9 is a two-liter turbocharged engine with an elongated diffuser and a variable valve timing system. The unit is transverse to the body. The motor is marked 4G63.

Japanese engineers tried to "squeeze" the maximum from this two-liter engine. And they managed to do it. Thanks to the turbine and other technical interventions, the maximum engine power is 280 horsepower. The torque at 3,5 thousand turns is equal 355 Nanometers. This motor is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. There are no automatic checkpoints for Mitsubishi-Lancer-9-Evolution.

Dynamics

Thanks to the powerful motor, the car has excellent dynamic characteristics. So, acceleration to a hundred takes 6.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 250 kilometers per hour. The fuel consumption in the city mode is 14.6 liters per hundred. On the highway "Mitsubishi-Lancer-9-Evolution" consumes 8.2 liters of fuel. The manufacturer recommends using fuel with octane rating not lower than 98th.

Motors for the US and the domestic market

It is worth noting that the power of a two-liter engine for the US market is 286 horsepower. Right-hand Japanese cars "Evolution" develop capacity in 291 horsepower. Torque - higher by 38 Nm, compared with the European version, and is 393 Nm.

Chassis

The scheme of the chassis is identical to the previous generation of Evolution cars. Front - an independent suspension "McPherson", rear - mnogorychazhka. On ordinary "Lanser" is put a beam. In the technical plan, not only the engine, but also the braking system was modified. Front mounted four-piston calipers and ventilated disc brakes "Brembo". At the rear are two-piston calipers. The diameter of the brake discs is 320 millimeters (in front - 20 mm more). The car uses a four-wheel drive. The rear axle is blocked by a hydromechanical clutch. The axle differential can be controlled from the passenger compartment. Electronics can transfer torque to that wheel, which has the best grip on the surface of the roadway. This allows you to exclude slips.

Cost

Serially "Mitsubishi Lancer-9-Evolution" was released in 2007, so you can find a copy only in the secondary market. The initial cost of the car was 600 thousand rubles. However, there are also more modernized versions (the modifications are done by the owners themselves) at a cost of 1 million rubles.

The basic equipment of "Evolution" includes the following elements:

• 2 front airbags;
• climate control;
• 4 window regulators on the electric drive;
• Sports seats and steering wheel "Momo";
• ABS system;
• Hydraulic power steering.

Modifications

Despite such a short production period, the machine underwent various changes, in particular, professional tuning studios. So, the British versions of the Evolution car were equipped with FQ engines with a capacity of 300, 320 and 340 horsepower. At that, the working volume of the 4-cylinder engine remained the same - two liters. The increase in power positively affected the dynamic performance. The car accelerated to a hundred in 4.1 seconds. The peak speed is 253 kilometers per hour. This modification had the index MR. For the rest of the markets Mitsubishi was manned by the former 280-horsepower engine. The differences were only in the exterior - the car had other aerodynamic body kit and rims.

Conclusion

So, we found out what a charged version of Mitsubishi-Lancer is. The ninth "Evolution" is one of the fastest cars in the world. He is a worthy competitor to the Nissan GTR, BMW M-series and Mercedes AMG.
