전설의 미쯔비시 란에보 X (Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X) 하반기 국내 출시!!!

드디어 전설의 란에보 10번째 최신판이 9월부터 국내에 수입된다. 무게는 1540kg에 불과하지만 295마력에 토크 43kg·m (3500RPM에서...)을 내는 2.0리터 DOHC MIVEC 터보차저 알루미늄 엔진 (전버전의 엔진보다 12킬로그램이나 가벼워졌음.)을 갖췄고, 아반떼보다 길이는 50mm 짧지만, 엔진은 그랜저 3.3보다 강력하며, 4륜구동이다. S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), 새로 개발된 6단 Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission, 토크컨버터가 아닌, 클러치를 사용하는 자동변속기, 핸들에 장착된 패들쉬프트로 기어변속), AFS (Adaptive Front lighting System), 18인치 알로이 휠 등이 장착되어 있다. 전체 외관의 디자인이 그다지 독특하거나, 매끈하진 않지만, 잡아먹을듯 달려드는 공격적인 앞모습만은 이 차의 특징을 그대로 나타내 주고 있다. 연비는 리터당 9.8km

대우자판이 수입하고, 가격은 4000만원 초반대로 다들 예상하고 있지만, 더 비싸질수도...

4WD system (S-AWC)

The GSR trim level comes with Mitsubishi Motors' own 4WD vehicle dynamics control system S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) standard. For Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Active Stability Control (ASC) has been added to the ACD, AYC and Sport ABS component systems featured in previous Lancer Evolution. S-AWC uses integrated management of these systems to exert high-precision control on drive torque and brake force at each wheel to enhance cornering and stability under all conditions from everyday driving to emergency evasion; thereby producing vehicle behavior that faithfully reflects driver intent. S-AWC offers three operating modes — TARMAC for dry, paved surfaces; GRAVEL for wet or unmade surfaces, and SNOW for snow covered surfaces — allowing the driver to select the mode best suited to current road surface conditions and realize greater stability.

ACD (Active Center Differential)

The Active Center Differential uses an electronically-controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch to optimize front/rear wheel torque split and thereby produce the best balance between traction and steering response.

AYC (Active Yaw Control)

AYC uses a torque transfer mechanism in the rear differential to control rear wheel torque differential for different driving conditions and so limit the yaw moment that acts on the vehicle body and thus enhance cornering performance. AYC now features yaw rate feedback control using a yaw rate sensor to more accurately determine the cornering dynamics on a real-time basis. And the addition of braking force control allows the system to realize vehicle behavior that more closely mirrors driver intent.

Sport ABS (Sport Anti-lock Brake System)

ABS allows the driver to maintain directional control and keeps the vehicle stable by preventing the wheels from locking under heavy braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The addition of yaw rate sensors and brake pressure sensors to the Sport ABS system has improved braking performance through corners.

Active Stability Control (ASC)

The ASC system stabilizes vehicle attitude while maintaining optimum traction by regulating engine power and the braking force at each wheel. ASC elevates vehicle stability by suppressing skidding in an emergency evasion maneuver or as the result of other sudden steering inputs. It also improves traction under acceleration by preventing the driving wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces.
