2012 Mitsubishi Sports Car

2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a peppy convertible with sleek, retro styling and a number of luxurious extras for driver and passengers, all at an affordable price tag. Mitsubishi has announced that 2012 will be the last production year for the Spyder with production ceasing in August 2011, so this model year represents the final curtain call for this reasonably priced two-door sport convertible.

Engine power in the Spyder is definitely nothing to write home about, with a measly 162 horsepower available on the base and GS Sport models and a respectable 265 horses under the hood of the GT. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder’s moderate weight allows it to provide reasonably brisk acceleration and decent pickup, but the four-cylinder models may have difficulty with uphill grades or heavy loads in some instances. The small turning radius and sturdy suspension provide adequate handling under most city driving conditions.

There’s nothing quite like a convertible. The Spyder capitalizes on this truth with a host of features that make this vehicle even more fun to drive, from the available leather seats in the GT model to the cruise control and rear-view backup camera that come standard in every trim level. Power windows and locks, power folding top and the Bluetooth hands-free interface provide added convenience and push-button ease for drivers. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats are available on some models.


While high performance is sadly lacking even in the GT models, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is fun and easy to drive. Best suited for city driving, it offers respectable gas mileage at 20 mpg city and up to 27 mpg in highway testing. Handling is about average for its weight class with some difficulty in acceleration when coming out of a hard turn. The suspension is adequate to provide a smooth ride, but is best suited to the urban environment rather than off-road escapes.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder will be sorely missed when production stops on this iconic convertible. While the Spyder never lived up to its sports car exterior, its price and features made it a favorite among style-conscious drivers and passengers. Even without the performance and pickup of more powerful vehicles, the Spyder is a bargain at the price and offers solid transportation in a sleek and sporty package.

Mitsubishi evo

Mitsubishi evo

Mitsubishi car manufacturer and its three diamonds in the badge are known for everyone. This manufacturer produces everything, from small compact city vehicles, through off-roads to special ones as Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Right this car was chosen by the company Seidl Tuning for next improvements. It’s the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in its 8th generation. I think there’s no need to introduce this car. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is like an ordinary Mitsubishi Lancer but with WRC style. And that means really aggressive engine, suspension, interior with no comfort but great seating. It’s the car for those who want fast, but safe drive. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 has a 2.0 liter DOHC 16V turbocharged engine. The base offers 280hp. Of course there are FQ special versions with the most powerful FQ400 producing amazing 405hp. This version is similar or better than Lamborghini Murcielago, Audi RS4 or Porsche Carrera 4S. Seidl Tuning and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 is a very nice partnership. Seidl used to tune especially German cars, but know they’ve decided to beat this sharp Japanese. Because the engine and suspension are up-to-date, they made only bodykit modifications – front bumper, side sills and rear bumper. The front bumper comes from original lines and it’s slightly modified. There are vertical bars in side openings and both sides has small lollypops now. The most distinctive change is in case of new paintwork of central part. Now it’s black and it looks very interesting. They continued in the sills and now we can enjoy extreme ones with sporting image. The rear bumper was next and it consists of three big openings with exhaust tip in one of them. Overall, this bumper looks nice; it’s simple but has nice details. The way of German tuners. They didn’t forget about wheels. Original rims were replaced by chromed alloys with low-profile tires. I think this wasn’t good move. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo’s characteristic rear wing was replaced by slightly retiring with stop light. And that’s all. The German Seidl tuning proves that they can do also non-German machines. They made the extreme bodykit for the extreme car. It’s not perfect, but looks good and drives perfectly.

2011 Mitsubishi Sports Cars

The 2011 Mitsubishi compact Outlander Sport SUV/crossover isn’t as racy as it looks with its so-so four-cylinder engine. But it has decent prices, handy size, many features and good fuel economy.

The five-passenger Outlander Sport is more of a crossover vehicle than an SUV. It’s based on Mitsubishi’s larger seven-passenger Outlander SUV. But it doesn’t have its big brother’s third-row seat and is more than a foot shorter with chopped front and rear overhangs, although it’s much closer in width and height. Wheelbase is the same at 105.1 inches, but the Outlander Sport is lighter feels sportier. The base version with an automatic transmission only weighs 3,098 pounds, which makes the Outlander Sport among the lightest in its class.

This new Mitsubishi has distinctive, chiseled aerodynamic bodywork and an aggressive looking “shark nose” front end from the Lancer Evolution high-performance sports sedan.

While five passengers fit, the center of the rear seat is too stiff to allow comfortable seating for more than four. There’s plenty of room up front in supportive seats, but back-seat room is average for long-legged occupants.

The cargo floor is rather high for really fast loading or unloading at, say, airports. But there’s decent cargo space, and rear seatbacks flip forward and sit flat to allow considerably more room for loads.

The Outlander Sport is offered in two trim levels. There’s the entry level ES, which costs $18,495 with front-drive and a decent five-speed manual transmission. The ES lists at $19,495 with a responsive continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which has easily used magnesium-alloy shift paddles behind the steering wheel.

Standard for the ES are air conditioning, remote keyless entry, four-speaker sound system, cruise control, tilt/telescopic wheel, power windows and side mirrors and steering wheel audio controls.

Safety features include driver knee air bag, front side-impact air bags and curtain side air bags with roll-over sensors. The anti-lock brakes have electronic brake force distribution for surer panic stops.

Noteworthy is a brake override system that slows the vehicle to a stop if the accelerator and brake pedal are engaged simultaneously.

There also are stability control and traction control systems to help keep the Outlander Sport on the road during dicey situations.

The higher-line SE version costs $21,695 with front-drive and the CVT and $22,995 with that transmission and four-wheel drive. It adds a push-button start, automatic climate control and six speakers—besides wider tires on 18-inch (versus 16-inch) alloy wheels, powerful HID headlights that cast light over a wider path and heated front seats for the four-wheel-drive version. It also has upgraded interior fabric and a front seat center armrest.

Option packages contain a panoramic glass roof, 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler and a navigation system with a rearview camera.

The Outlander Sport’s quiet interior looks fairly good and has has driver-friendly gauges and controls. However, small digital readouts, instead of gauges, for engine temperature and the fuel level don’t add to a sporty look. Front door pockets have bottle holders, and there are a fair number of interior storage areas and conveniently located front console cupholders.

2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Review

The Mitsubishi i (MiEV) 2012 is powered by innovative technology Mitsubishi Electric (MiEV) and also comes with the system for driving a rear-wheel drive vehicle that includes a 49 kW AC synchronous electric motor and 88 330V lithium battery cells that can 16kWh store above. In addition, this electric vehicle also comes with a reduction gear drive set as well. Electric motor vehicle is capable of producing a maximum torque of 145 lb-ft to the acceleration of the status quo and reach a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV in 2012 appears to be an exciting new option that is eager to urbanities environmental awareness as it is possible that this car may be the first zero-emission vehicle, which went on sale. This seems to be a good way to kick off the Mitsubishi U.S. sales in difficulty and a picture.

The Mitsubishi i is certainly the most affordable pure electric car to be launched in the market. In fact, be offered at a cost of only $ 20, 490 for the standard ES and $ 22,490 for improvement.

Mitsubishi expects the initial availability of this electric car in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii, in November 2011, the U.S. market in March 2012 and available nationally in December 2012.

The new generation of Mitsubishi's road to the North American market further differentiate itself from its European and Japanese versions-spec, with a revamped, more the body to provide comfort inside for four adults, with bumper Northern New American-spec and return to greater protection in a collision. Other important safety features for the North American car spec includes air bags that protect passengers and deployment force control, Active Stability Control (ASC) and a pressure monitoring system (TPMS) - all included in as standard equipment.

Easier on the Environment

Thanks to its all-electric propulsion system is extremely efficient, Mitsubishi i does not produce CO2 on the road, so it is a zero emission vehicle. Moreover, if one takes into account the CO2 emissions of power plants that generate electricity that powers the Mitsubishi i, this revolutionary production of Mitsubishi vehicles produces only about 30% of CO2 gasoline engine of 660 cc that powers of the non-electric-car of its domestic market. And the reduction of CO2 emissions becomes even more significant given that the gasoline engine of 660 cc is in the Japanese market is only one third of the movement of vehicles, four-cylinder gasoline engine at normal power Northern U.S..

Additional energy can be twisted to "i" model with the electric drivetrain Eco (economy) and modes of brake line to supplement the standard vehicle's Drive. Eco mode limits excessive consumption to the engine during braking mode increases the resistance of the braking (especially when running downhill) to feed more energy back into the bank of car batteries lithium-ion batteries.

Low Cost "Fuel" Source

Operating cost per mile of electric powered Mitsubishi i is significantly less expensive than a similar gasoline vehicle. In Japan, operating costs only 1 / 3, version 660cc gasoline, car expenses and operations could decrease even more strongly than her siblings internal combustion taking advantage of reduced power rates for recharge at night or during off-peak hours.

Intelligent Design = spacious accommodations, exceptional security

Thank you for the excellent packaging and technology related to its size, this car offers a unique style with a high level of security, ample space for four adults and handy compartments.

How a small car, possessing such a large volume inside? Mitsubishi engineers have cleverly put high-capacity lithium-ion batteries under the floor and the electric motor, an inverter and battery charger is located behind and below the rear passenger area. This configuration also has the advantage of lowering the center of gravity of the car. With the wheels located at the corner farthest from the vehicle, which gives Mitsubishi unusual stability with surprisingly agile handling.

Advanced Electric Powertrain

The power system consists of a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor and a high energy density lithium-ion battery, which consists of 88 cells (22 modules, 4 cells per module) for a maximum capacity of the Battery 16 kWh. The battery modules can be installed vertically or across the packaging flexibility allows them to be stored under the cabin floor. The 88 cells reside in a very robust stainless steel housing for maximum protection.

Mitsubishi I also have a battery system revolutionary three-way that allows the vehicle can be recharged using the built-in charger for home through sources, 110V (15A) or 220V (15A) or a system Quick Charge that uses a three phase supply 220V. The charging time of a completely full battery very low, about 8 hours at 220 V and 16 hours at 110V. The three-phase 220V fast charger can take a low battery on the height of a load of 80% in less than 30 minutes remarkably fast. Fasting three phase charger uses a point of sale is available on the driver side of the vehicle while on-board charger for the release of the home is located on the passenger side of the Mitsubishi i.

HISTORY

The first Pajero prototype was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1973. The Pajero II prototype followed in 1978, five years later. Mitsubishi’s aim was to create more of a recreational vehicle, not just an SUV.

In January 1983, the first Pajero made its debut at the Paris Dakar Rally, taking first place in 1985 at only the third attempt. To date, the Pajero is the most successful vehicle in the Dakar Rally. This not only gave the Pajero an offroad reputation, but also helped in the sales

The Pajero is a true off-roader, and a legend in its own right. It received a massive revamp for 2007, with an all-new interior, and can be had in either three-door or five-door body styles. From 2010, powertrain options were either a 3.5-litre V6 mated to a 4-speed automatic, or a 3.8-litre V6 engine mated to a 5-speed auto. The standard package includes ActiveTrac four-wheel-drive with rear-wheel, full-time all-wheel and 4WD high and low range with locked centre differential. The short-wheelbase three-door Pajero holds five passengers, while the long-wheelbase model holds seven, with a third-row seat that can be folded into a well in the cargo area floor, or removed entirely. Standard features include an RV meter showing external temperature, time, date, compass, pressure, altitude and maintenance intervals. Also standard are a radio cassette player with 6 speakers, automatic a/c, front dual airbags, keyless entry, power windows and mirrors, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Higher models get a 6-disc CD changer, fake wood interior trim, sunroof, front and rear automatic a/c, traction control, ABS with EBD, cruise control, cool box, leather seats and 17-inch wheels. Only the top-level 3.8 models get side airbags as standard.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

pajero sport

Using a Common Rail direct injection system for higher power and improved fuel efficiency, the Pajero Sport comes with a 2.5-liter diesel engine which delivers an impressive 136PS output at 3,500rpm and top-class torque of 314Nm at 2,000rpm.
 

Mitsubishi Motors has been at the forefront of developing the world’s most pioneering 4×4 technologies for over 70 years. The Pajero was launched in 1982 and even today the 4th generation Pajero continues to be the benchmark of 4×4 technology and refinement.


Pajero Sport has garnered immense response since global debut in Moscow last year. Over 9,000 units of Pajero Sport have been sold worldwide since last September. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia aims to sell 500 units of the fully imported Pajero Sport nationwide by the end of this year.

2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X SE Revealed

 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X SE 

 

In the simplest terms, the Evo X SE is a cross between a standard Evo X GSR and an upscale Evo X MR. Most importantly, the Evo X SE gets Mitsubishi’s fantastic TC-SST dual-clutch automated manual transmission with all three modes – Normal, Sport and Super-Sport. It’s mated to the standard 291-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and Mitsubishi’s Super All Wheel Control all-wheel drive system.

The Evo X SE retains the GSR nose, wheels and black side vents but picks up the MR Touring’s rear lip-spoiler and Bilstein shocks. Inside, it gets standard cloth Recaro seats and optional navigation to keep costs down.

What’s even more significant is the price. The Evo X SE starts at $36,445 (including the $745 destination charge), making it the cheapest way to get the top-shelf dual-clutch transmission on an Evo X. That starting price is about $2000 more than a base Evo X GSR and over $3000 cheaper than a base Evo X MR.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Review

Mitsubishi has a problem with the current formation. Unless you're looking for Lancer, your choice is limited to middle-size Galant sedan and Endeavor and Outlander crossover. Now, is contemplating seppuku Galant and Endeavor has not been completely redesigned since it first went on sale back in 2003. The Outlander, however, has something positive to offer. It can accommodate up to seven passengers (in emergencies), has been named Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick, and tops out at 28 miles per gallon on the highway.

Latest industry trends to be found in the New York auto show is the incredible shrinking crossovers, exemplified by this Juke Nissan and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Both vehicles are making their debut in North America, has a premiere at the Geneva show last month. (The Mitsubishi ASX known as RVR and elsewhere on the planet.)


Mitsubishi know because just two competitive vehicles to choose from is not enough to compete in the industry are eager to fill every niche, and the company appeared to focus on developing two single bright spot in his lineup. Lancer has spawned many variants, the latter being the Lancer Sportback, fun-to-push trains that do not step on the top-trim Lancer Evolution. The Outlander, meanwhile, recently gave a name to a smaller 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, a five-passenger crossover are looking to make a mark in the crowded segment today.

Of the two, the Juke is a strange but funny looking one, while the Sport Outlander look bigger. We also have to say it was more handsome than the larger Outlander Mitsubishi already in the lineup. With an overall length of 169.1 inches, it's just above the foot shorter than big brother, even though the same wheelbases of 105.1 inches.


The Mitsu is supported by the Galant-based running gear, with engine, 148-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Now, that might sound a little weak in the jacked-up station wagon small, but Mitsubishi has tried to make this Sport Outlander light as possible. A base model with manual transmission weighs in at an estimated 3050 pounds, thanks to features like front fenders, plastic recycling and extensive use of high strength steel. Losing weight will be an important advance as a balance of performance cars to government fuel efficiency requirements. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport claims that the EPA numbers will get 31 mpg on the highway.

As usual Outlander, Sport is the front-wheel drive, with the all-wheel-drive is optional. This is a simple on-demand arrangement, transferring torque to the rear wheels when slip occurs at the front. The base ES model has a manual five-speed, a continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters is optional at this level trims and standard on uplevel SE.


Unlike the Outlander, which has a plastic interior that would not look out of place on Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, Sport has a soft-touch materials in the doors and instrument panel, surprising given the expected starting price $ 19,000. Uplevel SE models have features such as automatic climate control, 18-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing windshield wipers, heated front seats, and keyless entry system as standard. Options at this level monster trim including sunroof, navigation system with seven-inch screen, and 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system kicked. Sport Outlander will be sold in late 2010 as a model of 2011.

The Outlander Sport does have a few tricks up its sleeve besides being able to fake a gear shift. It handles surprisingly well for what's essentially a high-riding, tall-roof wagon. The brakes are quite responsive once you push past the first inch of light pedal travel, but over bumps, the tight Lancer-like suspension reveals some flaws in the Noise Vibration and Harshness department. There was some chatter inside the cabin of our test vehicle and, when rolled down a bit, the windows produced a slight rattle. We could chalk up the window rattle to press-car jitters, but the cabin chatter is probably there to stay.

Those problems aren't enough, however, to make us forget the sporty handling, accommodating interior and competitive pricing of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC. Will it become Mitsubishi's third bright spot behind the Lancer and Outlander? The company is crowing that 1,290 units of the Outlander Sport were sold last month. That's peanuts compared to the Honda CR-V, which sold over 19,000 units, but does represent nearly a fifth of the entire brand's sales. That's remarkable for a model only a few months old, and tells us that Mitsubishi is giving buyers exactly what they want.

Mitsubishi plug-in hybrid coming in 2013Mitsubishi plug-in hybrid coming in 2013

Autoweek reports that Mitsubishi will wade into plug-in electric waters in 2013. The automaker's head of electric vehicles, Yoshikazu Nakamura, said the vehicle will be an SUV similar to the 2009 Px-MiEV Concept and that the production version is already nearing the final stages of development. The concept got its pep from a tiny 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine working in coordination with two electric motors and a battery pack. Mitsubishi pegged the Px-MiEV as being able to travel for up to 30 miles one pure electric go-go, so there must be some pretty hefty battery technology onboard as well.

Whether or not the production SUV will use a similar drivetrain remains to be seen. We can say with some certainty that Mitsubishi is likely to simplify the vehicle's name considerably. The automarker has already scrapped the i-MiEV moniker for the somewhat more palatable name of "i powered by MiEV" in the States. We can't wait to explain that one to the fine people of the DMV.

i MiEV SPORT AIR Concept Car by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation the balance between environmental and dynamic performance

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR Concept

i MiEV SPORT AIR Concept Car by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation the balance between environmental and dynamic performance
Tokyo, January 26, 2009 — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is to give the i MiEV SPORT AIR concept model its global debut at the 79th Geneva International Motor Show which runs from March 3 through March 15 at the Geneva Palexpo exhibition and conference complex (opening to the general public on March 5).

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR Concept

The i MiEV SPORT AIR explores the future possibilities for zero-emission vehicles, placing a greater bias on exhilarating driving pleasure. The concept model exemplifies the balance between environmental and dynamic performance implied in the tagline Drive@earth, and highlights the benefits of the Mitsubishi electric vehicle drivetrain:
Powerful, instant torque from a beefed-up electric motor
Stable driving and handling and a low center of gravity, due to the in-floor lithium-ion battery
Zero on-road CO2 emissions
Together, these features along with the car’s “clear cutaway” top allow the driver to enjoy the exhilaration of fresh-air motoring while also highlighting its eco-friendly qualities.
