Mit­subishi con­tin­ues to drib­ble details to the sali­vat­ing global audi­ence on their upcom­ing EVO X, due for release inter­na­tion­ally some­time in Octo­ber of this year.

Let’s Talk S-​​AWC

Mitsubishi’s S-​​AWC (Super All Wheel Con­trol) dri­ve­train is expected to appear on the new tenth gen­er­a­tion EVO. The dri­ve­train is claimed to be an advanced sys­tem capa­ble of con­trol­ling drive torque at each wheel. This is in addi­tion to ASC (Active Sta­bil­ity Con­trol) and ACD (Active Cen­tre Dif­fer­en­tial) and AYC (Active Yaw Con­trol) elec­tronic chassis-​​control systems.

New Trans­mis­sion

The new EVO comes with the new twin-​​clutch SST, an auto­mated man­ual sys­tem that essen­tially takes care of clutch oper­a­tions, and comes with three modes, Nor­mal, Sport, and S-​​Sport (Super Sport we assume), designed to tai­lor for con­di­tions from around town punt­ing to naughty off the line drags (We know none of our respon­si­ble, wise dri­vers would ever con­sider putting it in S-​​Sport).
