According to unconfirmed information Evo XI debut is scheduled for 2013.According to an anonymous company source, the new Evo will be taking a basic unit in testimony in 2009 in Tokyo Concept PX-MiEV. Among them are platform 1.6-liter gasoline engine, electric motor and lithium-ion batteries.

New Mitsubishi Lancer 2012 with new Japanese diesel
Mitsubishi is one of those companies that know how to make eye-catching pattern. One of the clearest examples is the new Lancer. The model comes in two body versions - sedan and hatch (Sportback), as well as breathtaking sports-related - EVO (X).
Today, however, not to mention the iconic sports car, but its most economical option. This is a modification of the diesel version Sportback. She as you know get a new engine, which replaced the outdated technology 2.0-liter diesel VW.
New unit that first saw the model ASX, there is less volume but offers more power, better performance, smoother operation and lower fuel consumption.
The engine is 1.8L (4N13) turbo diesel with direct injection and an extremely low compression (14.9:1), through which they achieve low noise, vibration and low frequency oscillations of the body.For the above advantages merit and proprietary technology MIVEC (Mitsubishi's electronic system to manage the operation of valves in gas distribution mechanism), which equips the new engine. It also features a low weight, thanks to the aluminum block and cylinder head cover plastic cylinder.
The work of Japanese engineers is truly impressive. The difference between old and new more evident with diesel engine starts. Typical chatter gone, but engine noise is barely audible. Even more noticeable is the difference when the car gets up to speed and engine revs cross the border from 2500 rev / min. Then, instead of agonizing growl, we know from the old engine is heard only a slight hiss of the turbine.
"Turbo gap" still exists, but the engine accelerates the car much smoother and more confident than its predecessor. When working in a place almost no vibrations are felt, and one can easily go wrong, that under the hood running gasoline.We managed to ride a vehicle only a few hours, most of the time were driving out of town. On the highway at a constant speed of 130 km / h, fuel consumption, which showed the computer, not to exceed five liters, and intercity roads, it dropped to 4.8 l/100 km.
According to the manufacturer's new Lancer Sportback MIVEC DI-D accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h 9.9 seconds and can develop a maximum speed of 207 km / h. Average fuel consumption is 5.3 l./100 km and harmful CO2 emissions - 139 g / km.
