2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Lancer
Mitsubishi has developed two new component systems that will be featured in the new Lancer Evolution. Super All Wheel Control is an advanced vehicle dynamics control system that regulates drive torque at each wheel. The system now adds an Active Stability Control feature to the Active Center Differential, Active Yaw Control and Sport Antilock Brake System components that have proven themselves in the Lancer Evolution series. Integrated system management of these four components allows regulation of torque and braking force at each wheel. Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission) is an automated manual transmission that delivers slicker shifting through the gears while freeing the driver from the need to operate the clutch. It has a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters.

Outlander
For 2008, in addition to the existing V-6 engine, the Mitsubishi Outlander also gets a 168-horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, with continuously variable automatic transmission. The smaller engine helps fuel economy ratings, with a city rating that's 3 mpg better than the V-6's, according to Mitsubishi. The 4-cylinder gets 20/25 mpg city/highway, while the V-6 gets 17/25 in 2-wheel-drive models. The Outlander is available in LS, upscale XLS and new-for-2008 ES trims.
