HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
MODEL INDICATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this manual for identification of model types.
MPI: Indicates the multipoint injection, or engine equipped with the multipoint injection.
DOHC: Indicates an engine with the double overhead camshaft, or models equipped with such an engine.
M/T: Indicates the manual transmission, or models equipped with the manual transmission.
A/C: Indicates the air conditioner.
TARGETS OF DEVELOPMENT
A new competitive device in addition to technology established in the previous motor sport events to
improve potential performance as well as outward and inward appearance with a sophisticated view to
represent a high performance sedan of the next generation has been featured to improve the image
of Mitsubishi brand.
Furthermore, enhancement of competitiveness as well as driving performance in various motor sport
events has been sought.

AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Deterioration of aerodynamic performance accompanied with enlargement of the body size has been
suppressed by attaching a large-sized under cover on the lower part of the engine compartment, optimizing
elevation angle setting of rear spoiler.
(1) Under cover
A large-sized under cover is designed for compatibility of reduction of air resistance and reduction
of lift.
(2) Rear spoiler
Lift control by attaching elevation angle adjustable rear spoiler and optimizing attached position of
the spoiler are designed for reduction of air resistance.

ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL (ACD), ACTIVE YAW CONTROL (AYC)
ACD, which is designed for improving drive characteristics by electronically controlling center
differential movement, and AYC, which has been adopted since EVOLUTION-IV are featured by
combing two systems for integrated control so that further improvements in driving performance can
be achieved.
