MITSUBISHI INTRODUCES ALL-NEW 2008 LANCER EVOLUTION WITH
TURBO/INTERCOOLED ENGINE, SUPER-ALL WHEEL CONTROL AND AVAILABLE
6-SPEED AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Mitsubishi Motors is introducing the 2008 Lancer Evolution, the newest and most
sophisticated version of the legendary high-performance model series that began 16 years ago.
While remaining true to the core values that have made the Lancer Evolution synonymous with
thrilling performance, the next-generation model offers all-around capability and user technology
that distinguish the world’s best performance models.
The strikingly styled 2008 Lancer Evolution showcases new performance and handling
technology, including an all-new 291-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged/intercooled engine and the Super-All
Wheel Control (S-AWC) dynamic handling system. S-AWC offers an extraordinary level of control
at each wheel, going well beyond the capabilities of other all-wheel drive systems.
Two Lancer Evolution models will be offered in the U.S. market for 2008: the GSR with a
new 5-speed manual transmission and the Lancer Evolution MR with a new 6-speed Twin-Clutch
Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST), a new-generation automated manual transmission. The
MR model is also equipped exclusively with Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs, twopiece
brake rotors for better heat dissipation, BBS forged-alloy wheels, HID headlamps and
additional interior features. Significantly, the newest Lancer Evolution will have less differentiation
from market to market than the previous generations.
