10 Things you may not know about the Evo X
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL
TEN DESIGN DETAILS FOR LANCER EVOLUTION X ENHANCED PERFORMANCE ~
1. No Reverse Gear –To save weight, the 5-speed manual transmission has no
dedicated reverse gear. Instead, it uses an arrangement in which first and third gears engage with an idler gear on a separate shaft to reverse the direction of rotation.
2. Spoilers In The Wheel Arch - The wheel houses have a miniscule spoiler lip
around the curve of the wheel to prevent the wind from swirling in the wheel
housing thus improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
3. Energy Saving Glass - Solar control glass uses an infrared absorbing material in its intermediate layer to reduce transmission of solar heat by 66-100%. The glass also cuts out transmission of ultra-violet light but transmits all visible light to keep the interior airy and light.
4. Stainless Steel Manifold - The exhaust system uses a stainless steel manifold,which is smoother than other alternatives to maximise airflow. An Inconel turbocharger is located downstream and optimisation of the compressor wheel has improved response by 18% over the Lancer Evolution IX.
5. Your Car, The Way You Want It - Mitsubishi’s ETACs (Electronic Total
Automobile Control) system allows you to personalise the set up of your car, just the way you want it. You can decide how long the interior light stays on after door closure, if at all. You decide when the wing mirrors fold in and out –at the touch of a button, or automatically when the door is closed and ignition switched on or off. You choose.
6. Acoustic Engineering – The latest in lightweight acoustic and vibration
dampening materials, including foam filling for the pillars, have been strategically placed throughout the body of the Lancer Evolution X. This ensures noise and vibration performance that befits a new generation high performance saloon,while minimising any weight increase.
7. Lights That Look Around Corners – The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) uses high intensity discharge (HID) headlights increase the driver’s field of vision to make night driving safer. The clever bit is that the car detects when the driver turns the steering wheel and automatically switches on an additional beam to light up the oncoming corner.
8. External Vents Improve Breathing – Two bonnet vents release engine heat, as with previous Evolutions, but a new feature is the central air intake to help the engine breath and increase power output. New vents have also been added behind the front wheel to let engine heat escape more efficiently.
9. F1 Floating Piston Technology - The all-new aluminium engine is not only
12KG lighter than the previous 2.0 straight four unit, but also uses full floating
pistons made by Mahle, renowned for use in F1 cars. Made of a very hard and
strong alloy the pistons are able to handle the higher power produced by this
road-ready performance car.

EVO X Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission)
LANCER EVOLUTION X
Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission)
The mechanism
Twin Clutch SST puts odd (1st, 3rd, 5th) and even (2nd, 4th and 6th) gears on separate input shafts, each connected to an individual clutch. With both clutches under precise system control, this arrangement allows lightening-fast, smooth and lag-free gear changes with no interruption in power delivery. Using clutches instead of a torque converter to transmit power makes the Twin Clutch SST simpler in structure and reduces power transmission losses for higher transmission efficiency that leads to improved fuel mileage.
Drive modes
Twin Clutch SST allows the driver to switch between three shifting programs -Normal , Sport and S-Sport - to cover the full range of driving situations, from town use to sporty motoring on open roads.
a. Normal mode
For use around town and other normal driving situations,Normal
mode scheduling uses relatively low-speed shift points to deliver
unobtrusive shifting for maximum comfort together with optimum fuel
economy.
b. Sport mode
For use when driving in the mountains or when engine braking is required, Sport mode scheduling uses higher shift points and quicker shifting to deliver instant throttle response that instills in the driver a closer man/machine relationship.
c. S-Sport mode
Compared with Sport mode, S-Sport mode scheduling keeps the engine turning at higher revs while allowing lightening-fast shifting.
