After the evolution of the first 5 generations, EVO has gradually grown from a nameless pawn to the king of street cars, but its evolution has not stopped.
<h1>EVO 6, Performance and Dream Fulfillment</h1>
The EVO 6 evolved an adjustable biplane tail
In 1999, the 6th generation of EVO took the stage of history, and from the 5th generation of EVO began to focus on aerodynamic improvements.
However, in order to meet the 1999 WRC race rules for the size of the car, Mitsubishi had no choice but to give up the large rear wing on the 5th generation EVO.
However, the name of evolution is not in vain, in order to use a smaller tail, and then get better downforce, EVO it evolved the "adjustable biplane tail", and the size of the fog lamp was reduced, the streamline was changed, and the wind resistance was reduced.
The improvement in cooling performance also laid the groundwork for the evolution of thousand horses
In addition, the 6th generation of EVO also pays more attention to the cooling performance of the engine, and greatly improves the cooling performance of the engine by increasing the specifications of the air-cooled cooler.
Compared with the 5th generation, the EVO cooling performance of the 6th generation is increased by 23%, and the limit of the storm shock resistance is also greatly improved, which is a preparation for the next thousand horses evolution and lays the groundwork.
EVO 6 is legendary, but it doesn't belong in the world
The 6th generation of EVO brings, in fact, not only the performance, but also the realization of dreams. How to say this, the EVO before this 6 generations, although it is desirable, but this car evolved racing car, it does not belong to the world.
Due to Mitsubishi's sales policy, the EVO before the 6th generation was not sold in markets outside of Japan.
So for these European fans, it can only be seen, which is an unattainable car legend. We used to have hard drive goddesses, European car fans he had hard drive cars.
At that time, European car fans could only experience the EVO in the game of GT Racing.
In order to get a glimpse of the EVO, gt cars in Europe and the United States reached a staggering 8.29 million copies, accounting for 76% of global sales, but the real sense of surprise, is just the beginning, just said a little.
The EVO 6 is exported to Europe on a small scale, and the enthusiasm of fans is high
Mitsubishi announced in 2000 that it was officially exporting the EVO 6 to Europe on a small scale, tentatively, and with a look of luck.
As soon as this news came out, the fans exploded, and driving an EVO by hand became the ultimate dream of the fans.
However, at that time, the arrival of EVO was too small, and it could not meet the needs of the majority of car fans.
Car dealers began to do some business, so that some people advanced such a business, high-priced rental EVO.
It strengthened Mitsubishi's determination to go overseas
According to records at the time, you rent an EVO once and you have to make an appointment 6 months in advance, which is completely more popular than Mitsubishi imagined.
People just want to try it, so they have strengthened their determination to wait for an opportunity to launch an all-out war in the overseas market and make a big move.
<h1>EVO 7, the beginning of market exploration</h1>
This is not to explore the market to do development, just engage in EVO 7.
The evolution of EVO 7 has allowed Mitsubishi's championship flower to still bloom
Then the EVO 7 was equipped with an automatic transmission for the first time, and then a large number of electronic auxiliary systems were used to make the car easier to drive.
In terms of performance, Mitsubishi will certainly not forget to evolve the EVO again, taking advantage of the opportunity of all iterations and replacements of the chassis, and installing the newly developed ACD central differential system on the car.
The new front and rear wheel torque distribution system reacts 3 times faster than the previous old VCU system. From 2001 to 2002, the 7th generation EVO still won the WRC 4 races.
The evolutionary focus is biased towards the market, and Mitsubishi has no intention of participating in the competition
But as the evolutionary focus of EVO begins to slowly shift towards the market, it is the reason to meet the needs of various fans and ordinary consumers.
Mitsubishi began to play without the heart, and the space began to compromise continuously. As a result, the EVO7 is 40 kg heavier than the EVO6, and the performance improvement cannot keep up with the pace of other cars.
In 2003, Mitsubishi simply decided that the EVO would not go to the competition or anything for the time being, but do some business first, we are a business, to make money.
<h1>EVO 8, from the front of the stage to the backstage</h1>
This is EVO 7, and then EVO 8, EVO 8 is such a thing from the front of the stage to the backstage.
During the Japanese financial crisis, Mitsubishi decided to enter the US market
The roof leak coincided with overnight rain, the bursting of Japan's financial bubble, the Japanese sports car became less and less profitable, and the EVO's situation became more and more difficult, and it began to worry about its livelihood.
At this time, EVO's old rival Subaru WRX was listed in the United States, and it triggered a wave of sales of low-cost performance steel gun kings in the United States.
EVO look at my own also have, four-wheel drive, turbocharging, exaggerated tail, is also in the WRC, you Subaru WRX in the United States mix well, eat spicy, I am still too poor to do, of course I want to try it.
EVO 8 is evolving towards the goal of expanding overseas
At that time, people thought of the export business, my European exports can sell well, the United States is certainly no problem, but we need to evolve in a targeted way.
In a strategic atmosphere, the 8th generation of EVO began to evolve in the direction of entering overseas markets.
In order to adapt to the complex road environment of the US market, the EVO installed Bilstein's suspension system.
And in order to squeeze out more performance under the "Gentleman's Agreement", it is equipped with 17-inch BBS wheels, a front axle limited-slip differential, and a manual transmission has been upgraded from a 5-speed to a 6-speed version.
Support RallyArt, a new version of EVO launched in overseas markets
However, it is clear that Mitsubishi must be dissatisfied with the Japanese government's 280-horse "gentleman's agreement", so Mitsubishi has supported RallyArt overseas and began to provide the ultimate evolutionary version of EVO to the market.
In The RallyArt, officially controlled by Mitsubishi, buyers can buy 309 horses, 325 horses, 345 horses, 411 horses, and 4 so-called "out-of-line" versions of the EVO 8 overseas.
This is interesting again, these Japanese fanatics can not buy, there is a "gentleman's agreement" at home, only 280 horses, foreign countries have more than 400 horses.
Japanese cars are exported abroad, and these Japanese car fans import foreign cars back and export them to domestic sales.
Perverted horsepower makes EVO 8 gods block the killing god, Buddha blocks the killing buddha
Compared with the 280-horse Japanese version, the 411-horse European version of the EVO is not so much an evolution as it is not the same thing at all.
The 2-liter engine exploded with 411 horsepower under the official tuning, which is also perverted now, and it is also perverted to know that this suit thug AMG, the new A45 is also 380 horsepower, which is a little smaller than the EVO 8 version.
Such a luxurious power configuration makes this generation of EVO a god blocking god, Buddha blocking Buddha, Bedford 411 horse EVO casually play, the Audi RS4, Porsche 911, Carrera 4S all picked off the horse, fierce.
There are also some civilian modification schemes that can even allow the EVO to break through the terrible limit, 1400 horsepower, which simply makes the EVO a killing machine, and the driver must be mentally prepared.
<h1>EVO 9, the ultimate song of the peak</h1>
Mitsubishi sold EVO overseas through RallyArt, which can also be regarded as a stage success.
The EVO 9 is amazingly horsepower and comes in 13 different versions
But Mitsubishi was not satisfied with this kind of borrowing chickens and eggs, so it decided to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and personally sell the high-horsepower EVO without the help of the modification factory.
In the 9th generation, it surpassed the number of horses in the "Gentleman's Agreement", and the calibrated horsepower was directly adjusted to 286 horses.
In fact, the real horsepower can be adjusted to 314 horses, people are selling when blowing NB, to the high, it is modest when selling, to the low.
In addition to the increase in horsepower, Mitsubishi has also learned to do what it wants, releasing 13 different versions of the EVO, including a station wagon, depending on users in Asia and Europe.
The EVO 9 series comes standard with unique ACD and AYC
While retaining all the good things of the next 8 generations, the 9th generation also comes standard with mitsubishi's two unique technologies, ACD and AYC.
According to Mitsubishi' own words, the active central differential lock ACD and the active yaw control AYC can help drivers redefine the corner.
This sentence is a bit big, in other words, the EVO 9 generation can grasp the arc of the turn more accurately with faster speed.
It is also possible to tailor a personalized EVO for the driver
It's not only powerful, but also humane things, before you want to get a personalized EVO, you are looking for a trusted modification factory, and then with a teacher who is willing to keep nagging and talking to you.
Now the 9th generation of EVO is different, Mitsubishi officially provides personalized tuning options, by the official manufacturer directly provide a series of accessories and components.
In other words, even if you are an ordinary car fan, you do not know the teacher, you can experience a tailor-made car buying experience like a racing driver.
"This suspension is a bit hard, adjust it", "Tire change type", "Start responding to the ignition tune up", "Wow" This sounds good, is it a lot of atmosphere and atmosphere.
<h1>EVO 10, evolution stops, ushering in death</h1>
The good times are not long, and the long-term prosperity will decline.
The EVO 10 looks more aggressive
By the time the 10th generation of EVO was released in 2007, everyone was looking forward to the EVO to bring us something more powerful, after all, the last time was already very fierce, but this time it disappointed fans around the world.
As the last generation of the emperor EVO, EVO 10, or EVO X, its appearance is quite subversive, more exaggerated shark mouth, fierce eyes, look more radical than any generation of EVO.
Deprecated independently developed platforms and 4G63 engines
But the wild appearance, there is no way to hide the heart of stopping evolution, EVO it did not use an independently developed platform, is directly used the chassis of distant relatives Lancer.
In addition, its biggest feature is the abandonment of the classic redhead 4G63 engine from the 1st to the 9th generation, and the use of a newly developed aluminum alloy cylinder turbo engine codenamed 4B11T.
The all-aluminum cylinder block of the engine allows the modification potential to be greatly reduced
Although the maximum horsepower is mentioned at 300 horses and the peak torque is 422 Nm, the engine of the all-aluminum cylinder block has greatly reduced the modification potential.
Aluminum alloy it and our original cast iron ratio, there is no way to provide the modification on the need for sufficient strength, further increase the turbine pressure value when it will burst the cylinder.
The dual-clutch transmission cannot withstand the high torques of the modification
Coupled with the fact that the new dual-clutch transmission could not withstand the greater torque after the modification, it could have been changed to thousands of horsepower, sitting side by side with the McLaren P1, and giving a middle finger, and in the end, whoever won was not necessarily such a car, becoming a car with congenital heart disease.
When you see people "roaring", the people buy it to play, you don't let people play with it.
WRC events also failed one after another and had to be announced as withdrawn
On the other hand, between 2002 and 2005, Mitsubishi experienced a series of defeats at WRC events, which caused the board to announce its official retirement.
In such a context, congenital heart problems become the last straw that crushes the camel.
Due to sales pressure, the EVO officially stopped production and the evolution was terminated
As a result, the 10th generation EVO in 2013 sold only 621 units in Japan, yes, there are no 10,000 words on the back, which is only one-fifteenth of the peak of the EVO.
This successive blows made the board of directors make a final decision, forced by the pressure of sales and sales, in 2015, after Mitsubishi launched the last 1,000 EVO Final Edition limited edition cars, it was announced that the EVO of a generation of kings was officially discontinued.
Evolution has finally come to an end, and Mitsubishi Evolution has finally ended its glorious life.
<h1>Why does Honda like to overtake in corners? </h1>
Although the EVO is in decline, it was once brilliant. From Lancer to EVO, what exactly did Mitsubishi go through, saying that the EVO is an ever-evolving model?
Honda, a Japanese car company, always says that it is the honda of technology, but in fact, its start is much slower than other Japanese companies, and even people say that you are mud legs.
How did Technology Honda change from a Toyota parts manufacturer to a well-known Japanese car company, and Toyota grabbed food and worked against each other?
Honda, which buys an engine to send a car, and Toyota, which strives for excellence, let's put aside the technology, who is more durable?
Keywords: Japanese car
Pay attention to "spare tire car" and reply to the keyword "Japanese car".
"Spare tire talk car" is waiting for you to play.
