Performance

The transmissions of the vehicle are race inspired and based on the success of the brand name on the racing field. The short throw five speed manual transmission features smooth shifting while in the MR, the automatic shifting offers the efficiency of a manual gearbox with automatic shifting. The driver’s style of driving can be suited to the three different choices with the sequential shifter and the magnesium paddle shifters. The vehicle also offers drivers all wheel control for superb handling and traction. It features engine torque that can focus control on the outside or inside rear wheels for best possible traction. With this feature, power is given to the side or area that has the best grip on the road. It also means that it adapts to the kind of road surface that it is on. There are three possible road surfaces that it is well adapted to, namely the gravel, snow and tarmac. The Mitsubishi Evo features an active yaw control that enables it to supply traction to the wheel that needs it most. Sensors in the vehicle can detect lateral acceleration, steering angle and cornering speed, among others. The engine of the automobile has been consistently performing well and any improvements have added to its power and performance. The 2.0-liter all aluminum block has a powerful turbo charger that gives out 291 horsepower.

Safety

The Mitsubishi Evo has a sports-tuned ABS with brake force distribution for the best safety the brand name can give during demanding times. It can deliver up to ten brake pulses/second and can automatically shift the braking force between the rear and front axles. This means that is minimizes locking as well as skidding even when the driver is turning. The chassis of this particular vehicle is stamped from one single piece of steel. Aluminum parts such as the fenders, hood, roof and front bumper beams minimize weight and adding strength. For better stability, the battery and the windshield washer tank are located in the trunk. The performance features that allow best traction also add to the safety of the vehicle. The sensors can help to prevent an accident by transferring traction to the wheels that have the most traction for better control of the vehicle. There are seven airbags that will deploy as soon as the vehicle senses a collision or any disturbance that requires it to deploy. The seventh and most crucial one is under the driver’s dash that can stabilize the legs and body of the driver during specific kinds of frontal collisions.

These are just a few of the excellent features that the Mitsubishi Evo offers owners. The other features may be discussed with agents at the showrooms and dealerships for better understanding and in depth explanation and appreciation.
