Geneva Motor Show Preview: Mitsubishi Prototype S
Published by admin on Tagged Concepts
Programmed to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the Mitsubishi Prototype S will feature the new 4B11 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC intercooled and turbocharged engine (also used in the Lancer Evolution) that develops an estimated 240 horsepower. The engine is mated to Mitsubishi`s efficient Twin Clutch-SST gearbox that helps enhance the sporty nature of the vehicle by allowing the driver to execute lightning-quick, silky-smooth, paddle-actuated shifts. The TC-SST transmission also operates in fully automatic modes for Normal and Sport driving conditions.
Mitsubishi will use a full-time 4WD driveline that features the Mitsubishi`s Active Center Differential (ACD). The ACD unit employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring drive torque to the front and rear according to different driving conditions to realize the best balance between steering response and traction characteristics on Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow surfaces.
