Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

The Lancer Evolution IX MR (Mitsubishi Racing) is the last in the Lancer Evolution that started in the 1992. Only one version of the IX MR is available now. The Mitsubishi Racing is featured by the 366 hp 2.0-liter turbo engine. The higher performance of the car can be attributed to the subtle changes that are made in the new model. The titanium-aluminum alloy turbo fins together with the compressor wheel with reduced inlet diameter are some of the advanced features that are responsible for better engine performance.

Mitsubishi Motor’s tuning division Ralliart and independent tuning specialists HKS offer a lot of tuning options for the new model. The desired output can be up to 366bhp at 6887 rpm and 363lb ft of torque at 3200rpm. MIVEC, the variable valve timing technology from Mitsubishi improves the engine efficiency further resulting in less fuel consumption. The Lancer Evolution FQ-360 has got better external features too.

The carbon fiber front lip spoiler is a new attraction of this model. It not only provides better downforce to the engine, but also improves the high-speed stability. The carbon fiber vortex generator is fitted at the rear. The Lancer Evolution FQ-360 is called as the most affordable supercar. It has the capacity to sprint 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and to reach a top speed of 157 mph.

Compared to its competitors, this is a better performance for a better price. For example, The Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, which costs almost double that of Lancer Evolution FQ-360, takes about 4.8 seconds to sprint 0-60mph. Only 200 units of Lancer Evolution IX MR FQ-360 are available now from the Mitsubishi UK.
