Twin Clutch Sport Shift Transmission
Split-second gear shifting. Instant response. The road is ready to be dominated. Mitsubishi's Twin Clutch Sport Shift Transmission (TC-SST) uses two input 'gear' shafts that house 1st, 3rd, 5th and Reverse on one shaft, and 2nd, 4th, 6th gears on another - each of which are connected to an electronically controlled clutch. This allows consecutive gears to be 'preloaded' in advance to offer quicker shift times. The TC-SST operates in 3 modes:
Normal Mode is the default at engine start and is generally used for day-to-day driving. Sport Mode is the optimal choice for sporty driving. Gear changes and accelerator response are quicker than Normal Mode. Super Sports Mode (S-Sport) offers the ultimate in fast gear changing. During acceleration and braking, gears are engaged at higher revs, generating optimum performance.
Super All Wheel Control System (S-AWC)
Thanks to the sophisticated S-AWC System, Evolution allows you to drive in ways you didn't think were physically possible. The S-AWC system is made up of 4 independent systems working together to give you handling that defies belief.
The Active Centre Differential determines the optimal torque split between the front and rear axles. It then distributes this through the hydraulic multi-plate clutch. The ACD works in three modes – tarmac, gravel and snow – to enable quicker control response for changes in road surfaces.
To maintain stability and control when cornering, Active Stability Control automatically recognises under steer and over steer. It applies brakes to the appropriate wheels to keep you on a straight line and in control.
The Super Active Yaw Control gathers information on lateral and longitudinal acceleration, steering angle and wheel speed. It then distributes torque between the rear wheels accordingly.
To give you complete confidence while driving, Mitsubishi's Sports ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution regulates the braking force to match vehicle load and driving conditions. Its lateral and longitudinal G sensors work with steering sensors to provide increased control.
