Mitsubishi has stepped up its game with the Lancer Evolution MR. Fans of the Lancer Evo and new followers will appreciate the 291 hp turbocharged, 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder mated to a new Getrag six-speed twin-clutch “TC-SST” transmission that delivers power to all four wheels. Managing the power distribution is the Super All-Wheel Control system that encompasses an Active Center Differential, stability control, Sport ABS, and AYC (Active Yaw Control), which apportions torque between the rear wheels.
The beauty of running a technologically advanced car, such as the Evo X, anyone can shift smoothly and quickly with the skill and finesse of a Formula 1 racer. With magnesium paddle shifters underneath your fingertips and a twin-clutch transmission that practically thinks for you, gear changes take place in a fraction of a second. In the Lancer Evolution MR, the new TC-SST provides the engaging driving experience and engine-control benefits of a manual transmission, but without the need to use a clutch pedal. For three-pedal purists, the Lancer Evo GSR comes with a 5-speed manual and Teflon coated sift-cables for smoother gear changes.
