Próximo Evo terá versão híbrida

The next Mitsubishi Evo will be powered by a hybrid powertrain and will go on sale within three years, company president Osamu Masuko has confirmed to Autocar. Although Masuko did not reveal the full technical details, it is understood that the Evo XI will switch to a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain, saving it from tightening emissions regulations while preserving its trademark mid-range shove.

“We will start work on the project next year, and it will be ready within three,” said Masuko. “I have set the goal of developing a sporting car featuring electric power.”

It is hoped that the mix of diesel torque and electric motor will deliver a 0-62mph time of under five seconds, yet cut CO2 emissions to less than 200g/km.

The Evo XI will feature a revised version of the S-AWC four-wheel drive system, which integrates braking, steering and traction control.

The future of the Evo has been the subject of much debate this year. Senior management initially claimed it would be axed in favour of investing in electric vehicles, but it reversed this decision following a backlash from fans.

Masuko is believed to have made the decision after being persuaded that a halo model such as the Evo could have a positive effect on the entire Mitsubishi range, which is set to become increasingly environmentally focused.

Mas então o projecto EVO não tinha sido cancelado há uns tempos?

[ricardodsb]

Dass, isso mais parece um Civic.

hibrido diesel+eléctrico???

Será que a colaboração PSA/Mitsubishi aprofundou-se?
É que pela escolha mecânica, fica mesmo jeitoso a receber o módulo hibrido da Peugeot/Citroen

[Xkoviak]

Acho que esses rumores do electrico+diesel não fazem muito sentido, basta pensar que os mercados mais importantes para a Mitsubishi são o Japonês e o Americano...
Acredito mais em electrico+gasolina, mas vamos ver.

EDIT: Depois de ler o artigo tenho de fazer esta pergunta. Será mesmo verdade?
O homem só disse: “We will start work on the project next year, and it will be ready within three,” said Masuko. “I have set the goal of developing a sporting car featuring electric power.”

Realmente a Mitsubishi está a por o pé na poça tal como a Subaru o fez mas percebeu finalmente que os compradores não queriam aquela "coisa". Ainda para mais agora vai sair o novo desportivo Subaru / Toyota que promete..

[b00ster]

Pensava que essa história do diesel já estava morte e enterrada... blhec. Ainda por cima num Evo, não é um carrito ai qualquer.

Próximo Mitsubishi Evo será híbrido de 500cv | Autocar

Lancer Evolution to get hybrid power and will rival the Nissan GT-R


Mitsubishi’s long-awaited 21st century replacement for the Lancer Evolution is inching closer to reality

Mitsubishi’s long-awaited 21st century replacement for the Lancer Evolution is inching closer to reality.

But if it happens, Autocar can reveal, it won’t be an Evo as we know it but, in all likelihood, a 500bhp plug-in hybrid rival to the Nissan GT-R.

With the new-generation Lancer hatchback being readied for global launch next year and a plug-in hybrid version of that car already in the product plan, highly placed Mitsubishi executives are discussing options for a petrol-electric performance car. The model would inherit technology directly from the company’s MiEV Evolution II Pikes Peak prototype racer and take the Evo into a new performance dimension.

It’s still early days for the car, whose viability depends on market acceptance of Mitsubishi’s new plug-in hybrid PHEV technology. But with the company’s all-electric prototype demonstrating the sporting potential of a fully asymmetric electric powertrain for performance and handling at the Pikes Peak event, there is renewed interest in transferring that performance to the road.

The potential is for a high-end, technologically sophisticated sporting option with greater all-wheel drive performance than any Lancer Evo has had before, combined with low emissions and the option of all-electric running.

If it is built, the new Evo, whose styling is likely to be influenced by the Concept-RA shown at Detroit in 2008, will follow a less performance-orientated Lancer PHEV in the mould of the existing Outlander PHEV, itself due in the UK later this year. Like the hybrid Outlander, the Lancer PHEV is expected to combine a 2.0-litre petrol engine with two 80bhp electric motors. It should be capable of at least 150mpg and 50g/km on the European combined economy and CO2 emissions test and have an all-electric range approaching 40 miles.

If the market takes to that car, it leaves the door open for the new Evo, and the early signs are that the Lancer PHEV could be a success. TheOutlander PHEV has only been launched in Japan and the Netherlands, but Mitsubishi has already received more orders for it than expected — a situation that has slowed the car’s market rollout elsewhere.

But it’s far from a certainty. As Mitsubishi Motors North America executive vice-president of electric vehicle operations Masatoshi Hasegawa explained, there are still obstacles surrounding charging infrastructure to be negotiated before Mitsubishi’s PHEV cars can reach their full global sales potential.

"In North America particularly, agreement is slow to come on fast charging hardware," said Hasegawa. The USA’s domestic car makers are backing new fast charging hardware defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers, while Nissan and ourselves have been using the Chademo standard. There needs to be agreement before everyone can benefit from the investment in infrastructure.

Mitsubishi Evo de regresso

Subaru's auto show in Los Angeles introduced a new WRX, but the story about the new generation of its biggest competitor, Mitsubishi Evo, is not yet complete.

After years spent in 'purgatory' design tables, the new model is again found their way to the production line, mainly due to better financial situation of the Japanese manufacturer. Dark days have passed, the company once again earns money and can not afford projects like the Evo's.

Executive Director at Mitsubishi UK, Lance Bradley, said in a recent interview that there is currently no final plans for a hybrid version, and while the company investigates what is likely to be fans of thoroughbred athletes accept a hybrid powertrain in a car legends like the Evo, Bradley optimistic and claims that everything looks and drives like here - just fine.

Sucessor do Mitsubishi Evo terá 2 motores elétricos e um motor diesel

O modelo poderá adotar um novo nome

New details are starting to emerge about the highly-anticipated Mitsubishi Evo successor.
According to Motor Trend's sources, the next-generation Lancer will ride on the Renault Megane platform while the Evo successor will get its own specially developed architecture that promises to have "uncompromised handling with state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid EV technology."

Additional information is limited but the model could have an enhanced version of the turbocharged 1.1-liter three-cylinder diesel engine that debuted in the XR-PHEV concept. This sounds a tad bizarre but it could be backed up by front and rear electric motors that are powered by a battery pack that is located underneath the rear seat. If that hasn't left your head spinning, the model is also slated to feature an improved Super All-Wheel Control system.

enquanto esperamos pelo evo 11, a mitsubishi vai fazer uma edição especial do 10 com mais de 400cv

Potential for 430hp-plus, but with only 40 on offer, get your order in now

Mitsubishi is rich - that's not PH speculating, that's what Mitsubishi Motors Corporation president, Masuko-san, told UK managing director Lance Bradley recently.
Finally, after eight years of losses, MMC is turning a profit; the firm was the fastest growing brand in the UK last year, apparently. So, still why no Evo on the books?For a short period at least, that's about to change, as it's confirmed Mitsubishi will bring 40 examples of the most powerful Evo model ever to the UK. The special run-out vehicle - all painted white - will celebrate Mitsu's 40th anniversary in the UK, and although it'll be the last Evo X ever, it's going out with a bang.
Details are still scarce, but Bradley did confirm to PH at Genevathat "it'll be the most powerful Evo ever." That means we're looking at more than the 403hp and 387lb ft of torque from the last Evo X FQ-400.

According to Bradley, "The guys are developing it now", so 430hp could be on the cards. Maybe even 450hp. What's certain is it'll be blisteringly quick, looking set to outdo the FQ-400's 3.8-second 0-62mph sprint time.

With a five-speed manual 'box it'll also probably fall short of the FQ-400's less than Greanpeace friendly estimated efficiency of 17mpg with 340g/km CO2. Because that matters in a 400hp-plus turbo rally nutter. Obviously.
So candid is Bradley about his love for the Evo that once he's on the subject, he really gets into his stride:
"There isn't a race track in the country we can even test the car on because it's so loud. I've always driven an Evo since I've been at Mitsubishi, I still go into underground car parks and as I drive through it sets off all the car alarms. I love that and I probably shouldn't." Nice to know there's a 'car guy' at the helm of the UK arm of a company that prides itself on engineering.

Já por cá foi colocado há coisa de dias, de que a Mitsubishi poderá não vir a lançar o XI.

Mas é aguardar.... que hoje o que é certa, amanhã poderá não o ser.

[dpericao]

De acordo com o jornal japonês Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun, a Mitsubishi abandonará por completo o emblema “Evolution” no final deste ano. Nesta altura, a marca nipónica está a pensar num novo modelo topo de gama, que recorra a um sistema híbrido. Sabe-se que este não terá o nome “Evolution”. A nova geração do Lancer convencional será feita com na base do Renault Mégane.

Esta no site do AutoHoje. ;)

No entanto li algures que essa versão topo de gama não terá a plataforma Renault mas será feita de raiz pela Mitsubishi.

[Pneucareca]

Eu sei que um representante da Mitsu disse isso,mas para um adepto incontestável da saga evolution não conseguirá acreditar nisso.

Se a marca acabar mesmo com o modelo/versão, que remédio têm os adeptos senão aceitar o facto.
