Advanced Security

The chassis design in the square, the new Mitsubishi CUV was created with safety in mind. Based on the structure Outlander, which received the highest rating NCAP safety for the credit of the accident, the new crossover uses the same security development impact (RISE) body design. This improves the impact on the safety of all addresses with a rigid body and deformation zones that gradually collapse to absorb energy from the collision. The windshield was given a large glass area and view high to increase the visibility and the lower base of the enclosure designed to reduce injuries to pedestrians. The main areas of structural frame also direct energy away from occupants of the cabin and as members of the front and side sections have to crush the box before, to help reduce the cost of repairing the body after minor incidents importance.

Another by-product of the rigid structure is more stable and comfortable ride. To further reduce noise and vibration of the car, a crossover of the pillars are filled with foam and the power of the engine compartment with sound-absorbing material. Triple side sealing skirts and double sealing around the door to further improve the sound insulation.

Keeping passengers safe inside during collisions is a complete security system seven airbags, including side curtain and driver's knee airbag. Not commonly found feature in this class, driver knee airbag control of posture and prevents injuries to the legs a frontal impact. CUV seats are optimized to reduce whiplash front seats and feature pre-tensioners that hold the residents during the collision and force limiters, which are gently released to reduce the risk of injury.

FUSE SYSTEM HANDSFREE

It offers more comfort and reduces distractions, FUSE hands-Link System combines advanced speech recognition capabilities with Bluetooth 2.0 hands-free calling and audio. With the FUSE system, drivers can experience new levels of comfort for entertainment, but retains the ability to concentrate fully on the road. Automatic phonebook transfer, and a telephone helpline for both sides of the fuse hands-Link Systems, as well as control of the SE model with optional navigation system, which has a 40GB hard drive rapid point of research interest . An iPod full of music and charging of USB devices and playback compatibility are also present in portable music.

PRIMA ELECTRONICS

The new crossover offers a variety of electrical options. These additional features to solidify the CUV has been refined and rich experience.

Preservation of the Concept-cX is "compact wedge" design concept of its push on the edge of the light side, are optimized for the overall shape, which is the best use of a longer wheelbase of 14.5 cm (2.67 m against 2.525 m) to create a lower profile and more balanced with better integration of the protruding wheel arches. This is now the roof line flows toward the rear of the car to improve aerodynamic performance (Cd 0.32), and continues to emphasize its dynamic profile.

Combat Jet front grille looks identical to the Lancer and Outlander. However, it is now framed by a major research paper clip, to combine with a cup shaped with a double pump: this has the dual objective of contributing to improving pedestrian safety, despite the cantilever, and also for body more visible to drivers, improving maneuverability in the city.

At the rear, the aim was both to reduce and enlarge the silhouette, avoiding any chunkiness resulting from the wrong court, therefore, strong aerodynamic lip at the bottom of the lighting, lamps fine combination tilt and the large trapezoidal license plate recess operation between the two.

Dynamic quality

Within the concept of a strong, sporty elegance continues in the form of a clear emphasis on, and cut the material instead of the usual endless search for patterns SUV Ness.

According to the exterior, the cabin Mitsubishi ASX reflects a clear sense of the "dynamic quality", expressed through the hooded meter cluster shared with the Outlander, the soft padding around the central panel extends to the edge of the door or carefully applied silver accents on each side of the audio system or along the door panels.

At the same time, elements such as chrome round of the module to bypass the shift lever, the inspiration motorcycle and silver accents on both sides of the console, and meters.

Logically, textures and materials were chosen to perform the same right key and appearance. Although the interior color scheme is based on a single pitch black, the use of contrasting textures and materials has been done to gain momentum.

In this regard, special attention was paid to the soft cover for the areas affected by the occupiers. This led to the development of a new type of filling two-tone contrasting texture with ripples of a sleek and sporty.

The same approach applies to the seat upholstery where Mitsubishi designers and their partners in the textile industry has created a new material woven embossed to add to the overall feeling of quality sporting and dynamic, adding 3D visual theater discreet black interior.

2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse Review

2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse Review

In 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse is one of the last of his race. Gone are the days of cheap, front-wheel drive sport coupes greeting from Japan, as the RSX Acura, Honda Prelude and Toyota Celica. Taste has changed and departmental priorities have changed. Today there was a revival of cheap fun cars, but most belong to the genus hot hatch. But for those who make fun of a trap dorky and aspire to the good old days of sports coupe, the Eclipse 2011 is a nice relic. It is also one of the few convertibles in its class in price.
 

From the moment that was presented four years ago, the Eclipse Spyder convertible and coupe now have mostly noted for his flamboyant style, highlighted by a steeply raked windshield, waistline and sloping forward end is bent back. A clever touch is the spoiler GS "clear posterior lip, while the GT can be equipped with a funky two-tone interior is reminiscent of a palette.

Unfortunately, however, especially the opportunity to eclipse ends. Its standard four-cylinder does not move the coupe and convertible heavy, with a semblance of authority and fuel economy is not particularly impressive. The big V6 found in the GT is the strong power, but crushed the front wheels with a pair. How the Eclipse coupe is also far from the Chevy Cobalt SS and the Honda Civic Si (coupe and other relics) or hot hatches like the Mazdaspeed 3, Mini Cooper S and VW GTI.

The interior is pleasant to look at Eclipse, but look closely, you find unpleasant hard materials. Common features like a telescoping steering wheel, rear headrests and a navigation system are available, and there is also much less space in the back seat as most competitors.

Of the two models of Eclipse, the Spyder is the most attractive of the two, simply because there is a lack of competition. The same price (Ford Mustang, Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Eos) are radically different types of caps below. We believe everyone deserves a look.

Like the coupe, as much as we remember with emotion the old good times Mitsubishi Eclipse, the 2011 version is interesting, but looking a shadow of itself. We had a hard time choosing a place in the Civic Si and Cobalt SS, or rear drive Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, Hyundai Genesis Coupe. If you care more about fuel economy and a low price, the Kia Koup and Scion tC are also attractive alternatives. Also, do not rush to dismiss these hot hatches. Times have changed economic and SUVs have evolved. The eclipse may well be a relic, but it is a relic.
 

Body styles, trim levels and options

The 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse is available in two body styles: coupe and convertible Spyder. The two and four seats are available in GS and GT Sport, while the coupe adds an adjustment to base GS.

The GS comes standard with alloy wheels of 18 inches, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, cruise control, power accessories, tilt steering wheel alone, a record of 50-50 and an audio system, rear seats six speakers and CD player. GS Sport adds xenon headlights, fog lights, sunroof, power heated mirrors, heated front seats, leather seat six-way power driver seat, Bluetooth and a Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker audio system with six CD changer, satellite radio , auxiliary input jack and steering wheel. The Spyder has a power convertible top. The GT adds a V6 engine as standard, larger rear brakes, a rear stabilizer bar, rear spoiler large (coupe only) and automatic temperature control. No major factory options, even an iPod adapter is an accessory installed many distributors.
 

Engines and performance

All Mitsubishi Eclipse 2011 is FWD. The GS model is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 162 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. The GS comes with a five-speed manual transmission, while a four-speed automatic transmission is optional on the GS and standard on the GS Sport. Estimated fuel economy with the automatic transmission is 20 mpg highway and 23 mpg city/28 mpg combined.

Eclipse GT receives the 3.6-liter V6 good for 265 hp and 262 Nm of torque. Five-speed automatic is standard. This engine requires premium fuel and its fuel economy is 16 mpg city/24 estimated mpg highway and 19 mpg combined.

Security

The Eclipse 2011 comes standard with four-wheel antilock brakes, stability control and side airbags for front seats. Cutting lined curtain airbags and side airbags received the highest Spyder covering the heads of the occupants. There are no rear headrests. The Eclipse Spyder has received the best rating of insurance for road safety "good" in both frontal offset and the Institute for side-impact tests.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

The cabin of the eclipse is both elegant and simple with a hint of attractive exploration and gauges with chrome light blue background. Unfortunately, this modern well-tempered by the use of certain low-quality materials and a plastic steering wheel telescopes. The front seats are well shaped and supportive, but to the rear seats do not have headrests and does not offer much more space (especially with the Cup tailgate inclined). The design of the tailgate provides an additional utility, however, as the rear seats 50/50-split-folding.

The Spyder is equipped with a top three cloth diapers convertible. In the applicant is a breeze. Release the header latches, push a button and the top lid fits under the barrel solid 19 seconds and it goes up just as quickly. Unfortunately, this approach greatly limits the rearward visibility with the top, and trunk space limited to only 5.2 cubic feet.

Driving Impressions

For many pilots, 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse its driving characteristics can be a bit 'disappointing. GT V6 engine produces a lot of power, but to get all the horses on the pavement can often lead to a large amount of wheel spin and torque. Unlike the V6, four-cylinder Eclipse is grappling with heavy weight - a small acceleration, the engine could be best described as anemic.

Another point of contention is the large turning radius, which requires many more multi-point turns and other vehicles. Management in general should satisfy most drivers, but those with an appetite for performance will probably find inspiration in any number of competitors or sporty hatchback coupe. The Spyder has a flexible chassis over bumps than we would like, but not enough to spoil a driving experience that otherwise pleasant.

Aggressive Styling Car Racing-Inspired

car enthusiasts - especially lovers of motor sports - long appreciated the distinctive body lines and aggressive were a staple in recent years for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sedan sport. The current car tenth generation is leading this trend, but does so with a design aesthetic is arguably the best interpretation of the history of the legendary high-performance sports sedan sports a long and rich history.



Inspired by the air intake is a fighter, long and wide gaps in the front of the car is not only quoting Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for the face, but also the flow of huge amounts of air into the engine compartment to give useful to cool the radiator and intercooler, helping to maximize their production. The valves must be placed at the top of a sheet of lightweight aluminum hood and after the front wheels are as functional as they are elegant, as it will evacuate the hot air from inside the engine compartment.

outstretched wings on the four corners, a relatively high beltline that slopes slightly downward toward the front of the car and ran to the car trunk lid combine to offer Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution a position that is both muscular and attractive appearance.

A trunk lid high mounted rear spoiler (GSR model) or a low-profile rear wing (RM model) completes the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution race car-inspired exterior exciting.

The well designed 4B11 T / C motor is the heart of any Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sports fast - it can get your heart racing even the most jaded car enthusiasts with its ultra-fast acceleration and a lot of instant power on tap seemingly all points on the revs on the tachometer.

However, only 2.0 liters (1997 cc) displacement, it is cordial DOHC 16-valve engine line-4 engine and an aluminum block and cylinder head (high strength and light weight ) and a bore and stroke, both measure exactly 86.0 millimeters (3.4 inches), making it a "square" design that its bore-stroke ratio is 1.0. The power of this engine is 291 hp at 6,500 rpm with 300 lb-ft of torque full product at a much lower 4000 rpm. Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC) acts on both camshafts intake and exhaust to boost power production and cleaner exhaust. The turbo / exchanger ratio is 9.0:1 compression engine.

Short-throw 5-speed manual or 6-speed Sportronic Rapid Fire Twin Clutch-Shift

Standard equipment on 2011-Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR, is the manual transmission 5-speed, fun to drive.

His engine navigates through the gates with a precision bolt rifle, as with every card that meets the caste. The pilot will also find that the clutch pedal light works the same way. The functionality of both shifter and clutch pedal operator rewarded with a high degree of mechanical sense - exactly what you want the sport of high performance cars.

But while the good functioning and tactile sensation of the manual transmission in the GSR model provides satisfactory results, the core driving enthusiast certainly choose the transmission of high technology in all models Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR.

Mitsubishi Twin Clutch revolutionary Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) is nothing less than an engineering marvel.

The TC-SST allows the driver to make changes in a fraction of time that could be accomplished with a manual transmission standard. The system also allows the driver to make these changes through the console-mounted shifter or even easier by the magnesium paddle wheel steering levers. Moreover, this close relationship of 6-speed dual clutch transmission Sportronic exchange can operate in fully automatic mode as a conventional automatic transmission. In either manual or automatic, each shift up or down occurs instantly, with no perceptible latency, with the engine management system "blipping" the throttle to downshift for each engine speed and transmission to perfection .

Supercar Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has always been known for its maneuverability. But advanced electronic aids for the driver in the current vehicle generation - especially society Super System Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) - was able to maneuver along the road of evolution in a surprisingly high.

Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) is not a specific device, but a technology network of dynamic systems that constantly communicate with each other to provide improved traceability. This includes Active Stability Control (ASC), an active center differential (ACD), an active yaw control (AYC) rear differential and Sport ABS brakes. Working together, Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) modulates the torque distribution to each wheel in real time for maximum control.

Active Stability Control (ASC) includes traction control and vehicle control systems, stability and helps to regulate the distribution of braking force and engine power to each wheel.

Active Center Differential (ACD) uses a hydraulic clutch, electronically controlled multi-plate split the engine torque (up to 50:50) between front and rear wheels. This routing of power between the front and rear of the vehicle are determined by collecting data from many sensors, including the speed of each wheel, throttle, wheel angle and vehicle lateral and the longitudinal location.

Acting similarly to a conventional limited slip differential, Active Yaw Control (AYC) rear differential uses a planetary differential, speed sensor and brake control force through Active Stability Control (ASC) system control torque to the wheel rear for better traction and stability in slippery road conditions and high speed cornering.

And thanks to the braking pressure and yaw advanced sensors, sports brake system (ABS) helps the driver maintain better steering control on slippery surfaces or very heavy braking.
