Mitsubishi Outlander GT EVO In New York Auto Show

Mitsubishi Outlander GT EVOMitsubishi has showcased its new Outlander GT Prototype model at the New York Auto Show. It is nothing but the Lance EVO inspired front end design that gives the Outlander a much more aggressive appearance than the current model.

Aside from the EVO’s signature ‘Jet Fighter’ grille and the reshaped Bi-Xenon headlamps, the Outlander Prototype also sports several other new design elements, such as a reshaped front bumper, side mirrors, fenders and hood, a new rear bumper and side sills, plus a new polished finish on the aluminum roof panel.

Complementing the exterior changes, the GT’s cabin has been refreshed with the addition of grained synthetic leather with contrasting double stitching, new chrome accents plus a few EVO-inspired design cues like the aluminum sport pedals and the new three-spoke steering wheel.

The changes result to a 10 horsepower bump for a total of 230HP while Mitsubishi claims that the V6’s torque curve has also been improved. The prototype model features an upgraded shifting program and Idle Neutral Logic for the automatic transmission.

However, the most significant change concerns the adoption of the Lancer EVO X’s ‘Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system that uses an active front limited-slip differential and an electronically controlled 4WD coupling for improved handling, traction and stability. Furthermore, Mitsubishi has upgraded the Outlander with shorter and stiffer suspension, larger Brembo brakes and a set of 19-inch O.Z. racing wheels.
