Feeling Through the Newest Mitsubishi Lancer Sports

By: Correy Putton

For years, our streets and roads have been very familiar with the Mitsubishi Lancer and all other versions under this model. And for this year, Mitsubishi has decided that it would be the best time to send out the newest version of the Mitsubishi Lancer Sport so as to show off the newest upgrades they did with the vehicle. Of course, most people are not just expecting to see new plastered on the vehicle. They are most likely clamoring to see what new tricks has this one got up its sleeve.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Sport has already in the business for around thirty five years already and it has already gained fame and reputation as one vehicle that is not only sporty but also has got a real good-looking design and goes with a sharp type of handling. Now, if you are going to be on the lookout for the newest version, you may have to wait for the vehicle would be first launched in Europe at the end of this year.

So much power has the new Mitsubishi Lancer Sport got? Well, according to its creator, the new Mitsubishi Lancer Sport would be coming to offer customers five different engines. One of these is the VAG-supplied 140 ps engine as well as the 2.0 Jet Diesel unit which are already being used in vehicles like the Grandis Di-D and the Outlander Di-D. The sports sedan would also be coming in with four powertrain levels categorized into the entry level, mid-range, upper range, and the supercar. These statistics, however, are for the Mitsubishi Lancer Sport's Europe debut.

As when the vehicle is marketed and sold in the United States and the rest of North America, the vehicle would be coming and would be using a 2.0 liter DOHC MIVEC engine with four cylinders. This power source would be giving the vehicle a boost of 152 units of horsepower at 6,000 rpm as well as 146 pound feet or 197.9 Nm of torque at a measure of 4,250 rpm.

Now, if you are not quite a fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer Sport, you would be having a couple of choices. You see, the 2008 model year versions of the Mitsubishi Lancer would be having three trim levels available. There is the DE, the ES, and the GTS. These have their differences though. For example, the ES comes with alloy wheels that measure 16 inches while the GTS comes with alloy wheels that measuer some 18 inches.
