Mitsubishi Evolution is back!
As long as Mitsubishi is mentioned, car fans will think of Evolution, one of the "Street Fighters", but unfortunately it has become history and has joined the ranks of emotional cars. However, recently, foreign media exposed the news that Mitsubishi will launch a new Evolution model, is it necessary to dig Lancer Evolution out of the grave?
Everyone knows that as early as 2014, Mitsubishi announced that it would shift its focus to the SUV, pickup truck and new energy markets in the future, and completely abandoned the car market, so the resurrection of Lancer Evolution was almost impossible. So this time Mitsubishi is pinning this legendary series on the new Orlander, which has just completed the replacement.
It is reported that this Evolution model will be based on the OutlandER PHEV model, using a rather radical design language to build, and even draw inspiration from the Rallyart racing car to make the new car more aggressive, thereby reviving the Evolution brand.
You know, in addition to Lancer Evolution's success in the WRC in the past, Pajero Evolution has also achieved brilliant results in the Dakar Rally. So we can expect to see more Flalliart design elements on the Outland PHEV Evolution model in the future.
The Outlander PHEV will be equipped with a new generation of PHEV system, and its motor output and battery storage capacity will be improved, bringing more powerful power performance and pure electric range.
In fact, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Evolution model was originally intended to be officially released at the Tokyo Motor Show, but unfortunately affected by the epidemic, it had to be postponed. According to the latest news, the new car may not be able to officially meet us until June 2022.
Mazda registers a new trademark and the RX series will make a comeback!
Not only is Mitsubishi's Evolution coming back, but Mazda has also spread good news.
Some time ago, foreign media found that Mazda registered a "R" shaped trademark in Japan, which uses blue-black and red colors, and the white spoken in the center is "R"-shaped. And the red triangle can't help but remind people of the long-rumored rotor engine, is this just a coincidence?
You know, on the classic sports car RX7 SPIRIT R version, Mazda has a similar "R" badge, and the English name of the rotor engine is Rotary, so combining the above factors means that the Mazda rotor engine will be revived.
There is no doubt that the RX series is unique and classic, from RX-2 to RX-8 has been doted on by fans, and the two generations of RX-7 that appeared in "Head Text D" pushed the RX series to the peak. So in what form did the RX series "come back to life"? Let's wait for Mazda to answer.
