The Lancer Evolution VII is Mitsubishi's Latest Edition to the Lancer
Evolution Series. It brings along the Lancer Cedia Body styling and
improved engineering features and elegant Body styling.
New designs include a Aliminium Hood which reduces weight and bonnet vents control engine temperature. The Body kit design accommodate a wider track rim and wheel selection. The Body frame is a larger size but has retained strength while giving a lighter weight. For its front suspension, Evolution VII retains the MacPherson strut arrangement - with its legendary handling and straight line stability characteristics - extensively optimized to the model's new dimensions. Cornering performance - from initial response right up to the limit - has been improved in a well-balanced manner by widening the track, optimizing the roll center height and increasing the bump stroke by 15mm. The steering gear box has been lowered to realize greater linearity in toe changes, and to increase vehicle stability when turning. Evolution 7 features a new Active Center Differential using an electronically controlled variable multi-plate clutch. The ACD boasts a differential limiting capacity three times greater than that of the viscous coupling-type differential used to date. In addition, the ACD's ability to tailor slippage for different driving conditions brings levels of steering response and traction control not possible with a viscous coupling differential. A 3-way manual override switch enables the driver to select Tarmac, Gravel or Snow modes to suit his preferences or conditions. The ACD also frees the differential on operation of the parking brake - thereby enabling the driver to make more effective use of side brake turns in rallies and other events. |
