The new Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT is a CBU import from another ASEAN country. So, people would thought that this new addition to the Mitsubishi family will cost a bomb as well. The name itself made it sounds like it's very expensive, you know what i mean? "2.0 GT". But Mitsubishi surprised us with a lower price of RM 115,980 OTR (On The Road) with insurance.
The new Lancer is using a new engine called 4B11 Mivec engine with 155ps at 6,000 rpm. It also comes with paddle shifters instead of triptonic stick shift and there's no replacement parts for the gearbox incase there's a malfunction, you'll have to change the whole gearbox unit. 4B11 is using timing chain instead of timing belt and it'll last more than 90,000 km. The conventional timing belt will snap between 80,000 km - 90,000 km. There's one fella asked me this before, "Why there's no exact answer to when the timing belt will snap?". Ok, this is because some people thought the timing belt will function only when the car is moving, actually when your car idling, the timing belt is moving still.
So here's the new Mitsubishi EVO X.
And this is the concept car initially. Notice the differences? I still thinks the concept car is the best looking.
A brief explanation about the new 4B11 Mivec engine. Very technical.
