Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and Mitsubishi Motors North America Inc.
(MMNA, based in Cypress California) will give the Mitsubishi Lancer
compact sport sedan (U.S. market model) its global premiere and will also unveil
the Prototype X concept for a next-generation high-performance 4WD sport
sedan at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (the Detroit Motor
Show). The 2007 NAIAS opens to the general public on 13th January, 2007.
The Prototype-X concept car on show is an advance development model
for the new Lancer Evolution due to be launched in the 2007 fiscal year.
Embodying Mitsubishi Motors' trademark "fun to drive" qualities throughout,
Prototype-X features styling based on the current Lancer but was
developed to project a visibly higher performance image. The concept model is
fitted with Mitsubishi's S-AWC*1 (Super All-Wheel Control) vehicle dynamics
system that delivers the ultimate in four-wheel drive traction and handling
control together with a new turbocharged MIVEC*2 engine with an aluminium
cylinder block and a high performance 6-speed manual transmission.
In addition to the Lancer and Prototype-X, Mitsubishi Motors
will be featuring the Outlander sport utility vehicle, which was released
in the U.S. market in October. The Outlander is powered by a new
high-performance 3-litre V6 MIVEC*2 engine together with a 6-speed automatic
transmission to deliver strong acceleration and ample power at cruising speeds.
The Raider pick-up, winner of the 2006 Baja 1000 (Stock Mini class), will
also be showcased along with other local (US) production models. *1 S-AWC:
