Return of Mitsubishi Lancer
In the early 70s of the last century Mitsubishi acted without a mid-size car in the lineup. It is in this car in 1973 and became a Lancer (initially called the Colt Lancer). The car had rear-wheel drive and is available in twelve different versions, starting with the "budget" 1, 2 liter and ending poluralliynoy 1600 GSR 1, 6-liter engine with 98 hp Lancer was made with a variety of body styles - four-door sedans and two, three-door hatchback and wagon, which appeared in 1975 under the name Lancer Celeste. The car, by the way, was made not only for the domestic market, but also actively exported - in the United States, for example, it was sold under the names of Plymouth Arrow and Dodge Colt, and in Australia - Chrysler Lancer Coupe.
The second-generation Lancer, which appeared in 1976, was actually restyling of the previous model. The car became more angular, and this time was manufactured only four-body. At first Lancer was only one volume of the engine 1, 4 liters, and later added to his turbo volume of 1, 8 liters.
It's really a new model was the third generation of the Lancer, debuted in 1979. The machine has regained a variety of body and also has a new independent suspension.
Fourth generation Lancer Fiore was introduced in 1982 and sold under the same name just outside of Japan. The machine has got a front-wheel drive and (optionally) "automatic" and sold at the same time with the third generation of the car.
A year later, this mess has stopped - then the fifth was established Lancer, and Fiore had been discontinued. In 1985 he was featured wagon, which, among other things, offered in all-wheel drive version. In the fifth generation Lancer installed a variety of injection gasoline engines, including turbocharged and diesel volume of 1, 8 liters.
Lancer sixth generation appeared in 1988. It was presented in the hatchback and sedan. This touring the old generation of production are not removed. Unlike its predecessor, the original no moves, such as turbo or four-wheel drive, at the sixth Lancer was not.
1993. The seventh generation Lancer. The car was remembered primarily version GSR, which marked the beginning of a legendary family of Evolution. She was put on a two-liter turbo power of 244 hp and all-wheel drive transmission by successfully acting Rally Galant VR-4. But the Japanese have had one more exotic version - with the world's smallest serial engine V6, the volume of which amounted to only 1, 6 liters. The seventh generation Lancer is also sold in America under the name Eagle Summit, and in Malaysia - as the Proton Wira.
In 1995, a new Lancer, with a rough and "faceted" appearance. It was equipped with motors in volume 1, 3, and 1, 6 liters and is actively sold (including in Russia). And on the Lancer Evolution Tommi Makinen (Tommi Makinen) won his four titles in the WRC. There was also a four-wheel drive version of the budget, which is only available in a wagon.
Millennium Mitsubishi introduced the next Lancer, which was sold in Japan as Cedia (from CEntury DIAmond). He also delivered to the United States and some Arab countries, but the European premiere took place only in 2003. In Moscow, it was presented with a restyled version of the corrected "attractive face", created by Olivier Boulay. That she became a bestseller in our market. In total since 1973 it produced more than 6 million Lancer.
Lancer sedan with motors in volume 1, 5 and 2 liter - that's just the beginning. In the autumn of Frankfurt debut monster called Evolution, engine capacity of 300 horsepower and an intelligent all-wheel drive transmission. Its sales, however, will start only next year. In the same year, and will be a hatchback version, which will be called Sportback. But the wagon is no more. Also planned Ralliart version with four-wheel drive and a turbo engine capacity of 200 horsepower - it will be "intermediary" between the ordinary civil and Lancer Evolution.
This car seems to hate everyone. His creators, other concept cars, visitors Auto Show in Detroit, where he was forced to climb on the podium ... The wild narrowed headlights and wide jaws warn that he was up to something.
To kill all silenok from Concept-RA is not so much - only 201 pcs. But diesel. Under the hood lurks 2, 2-liter works Local unit of the latest generation, equipped with a turbocharger with variable geometry. This means that the torque really is serious: 420 newton-meters - as in Evolution!
From him - and all-wheel drive Super All Wheel Control, and with preselektivnoy SST gearbox, we are already familiar. RA itself is made of an aluminum space frame, and many body panels (such as the hood, fenders, spoilers) are made of plastic. So the car must weigh double bit and all More show.
We - only! Let the 21-inch wheels replace the 18-inch, will be removed from the interior of psychedelic devices and "sawed" wheel (What a fashion they went, huh?). The main thing - even in the series. Nakanishi-san, we believe in you.
