RALLY HERITAGE The triple-diamond emblem of Mitsubishi Motors is now familiar in every corner of the world and in nearly every form of motorsport. The Mitsubishi name is synonymous with success in rallying – the toughest of all forms of motorsport. Whether it’s the powerful road machines blasting across the stages of the World Rally Championship, or hurtling through the deserts of Africa – the tougher the challenge, the better Mitsubishi vehicles get. This is because only technology and systems capable of enduring the gruelling conditions of the world’s toughest rally stages are deemed worthy for use in our production cars. Every Mitsubishi that is built embodies the same competitive passion, spirit, and style that has proved integral to Mitsubishi’s dominance on the world stage. The Lancer Evolution - which dominated the World Rally Championship for many years - has developed a fearsome reputation for power and performance. The latest Evolution benefits from an unwavering commitment to developing new technologies to provide greater power, better performance and precise control. The Lancer Ralliart range continues this commitment. It has been created to share the thrill and exhilaration of rally with as many people as possible, and to develop a range of high performance vehicles that – like Lancer Evolution – have no rival.

The Lancer Ralliart Sportback and sedan have earned the right to carry the Ralliart mark. Sharing the same performance and control technology, these 2 variants differ only in terms of body shape. both vehicles benefit from their close relationship to Lancer Evolution, the pinnacle of Mitsubishi’s engineering excellence, and deliver powerful performance with precise control. Thrilling performance is delivered through a turbocharged MIVEC engine and the latest Twin Clutch Sport Shift Transmission (TC-SST) for split- second gear shifting. To reign in the power, the Lancer Ralliart vehicles feature the sophisticated All Wheel Control (AWC) system. Originally developed for Lancer Evolution, AWC is made up of 3 independent systems working together and operated via the vehicle's ECu. The systems are Active Centre Differential (ACD), Active Stability Control (ASC) and Anti-lock braking System (AbS) with Electronic brakeforce Distribution (EbD). Whichever vehicle you choose, you can be assured of an exhilarating drive that was once solely the domain of world rally drivers.

The ACD works in three modes – tarmac, for sporty driving. Gear changes and accelerator gravel and snow – to enable quicker control response are quicker than Normal mode. response for changes in road surfaces. Active Stability Control (ASC) and Active Traction Control (ATC) To maintain stability and control when cornering, ASC automatically recognises understeer and oversteer. It applies brake pressure to the appropriate wheels to keep you on line and in control. In addition, ATC automatically controls and improves stability and acceleration by minimising wheel spin, maintaining traction at all times even in the most slippery conditions. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) To give you further confidence while driving, AbS helps the driver maintain steering control and avoid hazards by adjusting braking pressure to prevent the wheels from locking up under hard braking or during an emergency stop. EbD helps you stay in control when carrying heavier loads, by distributing braking force between the front and rear wheels to ensure optimum braking and reduce stopping distance.
