2009 Mitsubishi Lancer





2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

First Impressions:

* Mitsubishi’s All-Wheel Control System rules!
* Automatic shifting of the 6-speed twin-clutch transmission is sooo very smooth
* Racer-bling — real Recaro sport seats, 18 inch forged BBS wheels, and Brembo brake kit
* X-gen suspension is stiff compared to normal everyday driving standards
* Rockford-Fosgate audio system is pretty dang loud

Verdict: The Evo X is fast and loves to be driven hard

Mitsubishi has stepped up its game with the Lancer Evolution MR. Fans of the Lancer Evo and new followers will appreciate the 291 hp turbocharged, 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder mated to a new Getrag six-speed twin-clutch “TC-SST” transmission that delivers power to all four wheels. Managing the power distribution is the Super All-Wheel Control system that encompasses an Active Center Differential, stability control, Sport ABS, and AYC (Active Yaw Control), which apportions torque between the rear wheels.

The Lancer Evolution, redesigned for 2008, is the tenth generation of the rally car for the street but only the second version offered in the U.S. market after the Evo IX was first imported to the U.S. as a 2003 model. The 2009 Lancer Evo X has two trim levels: GSR and MR. The track-worthy Lancer Evolution MR boasts Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, 18-inch forged BBS wheels, and two-piece front brake rotors. The GSR may not be as polished as the MR, but it still boasts all the X’s essentials - a 291-horse 4B11 turbocharged and intercooled aluminum-block engine, Brembo brakes, and a rear wing bigger than the mortgage crisis.
