LANCER EVOLUTION FINAL EDITION ARRIVES
DOWN UNDER
9th Nov, 2015
The Lancer Evolution Final Edition has arrived in Australia, with
only 150 iconic models on sale down under. In its tenth and
final generation, the Lancer Evolution Final Edition delivers the
highest engine performance in the legendary Evo series.
Already known for its extraordinary performance, the Lancer
Evolution Final Edition increases power to 226kW of power
@6500 rpm and 414Nm of torque @3500 rpm.
This has been achieved in part through the application of
sodium filled exhaust valves which increases cooling efficiency,

allowing the engine to generate an even higher output and
improving engine performance across both middle and high rev
and torque ranges.
Based on a design that powered Finnish racing legend Tommi
Mäkinen to four straight titles in the gruelling World Rally
Championship (WRC), the turbo­charged and inter­cooled 2.0­
litre DOHC four­cylinder engine delivers instantaneous power
and torque.
Consisting of a structurally reinforced cast­aluminium block,
aluminium cylinder head and fitted with the latest edition of
Mitsubishi Motors’ innovative MIVEC variable valve­timing
system, this impressive engine’s architecture features a square
design with both its bore and stroke measure an equal 86.0mm
with a compression ratio of 9.0:1.
Previously used in the highly successful Lancer Evolution VII,
VIII and IX engines, the cylinder head valves are sodium­filled.
The valves are hollowed out and then filled with specially
formulated sodium. This achieves a weight reduction and
improved heat dispersion compared to standard valves.
The Lancer Evolution’s distinctive exhaust note is due to the
systems free­flowing dual exhaust outlets. The stainless steel
exhaust manifold and turbocharger are located at the rear of
the transversely­mounted engine and close to the firewall which
helps to improve weight distribution.
Lancer Evolution Final Edition comes standard with a short­
throw, 5­speed manual transmission.
Performance is further enhanced by the use of world leading
motorsport suppliers including light weight two­piece Brembo®
brake rotors up front, accompanied by Bilstein® shock
absorbers and Eibach® springs at all four corners.
One of the most sophisticated and rally proven all­wheel drive
systems ever developed for a production car, the Super All­
Wheel Control (S­AWC) system, working with Lancer
Evolution’s superbly engineered suspension, provides
performance and tractability like no other.
The S­AWC system allows the driver to choose between three
selectable traction mode settings – tarmac, gravel and snow
providing maximum tractability and performance in all weather
and road conditions.
The S­AWC system is also complemented by the Active Yaw
Control (AYC), Active Stability Control (ASC) and Sport Anti­lock

Braking (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and
Limited Slip Differential to deliver a remarkable level of traction
and agility.
The Lancer Evolution Final Edition’s suspension features
inverted McPherson struts up front, using Bilstein® shock
absorbers and Eibach® springs. Front suspension also includes
a stabiliser bar and aluminium control arms. The Brembo®
brakes are lightweight with two­piece rotors.
Rear suspension is an independent multi­link low mount design
with stabiliser bar with Bilstein® shock absorbers and Eibach®
springs.
Helping protect the vehicle’s occupants in the event of an
accident are Mitsubishi Motors’ patented next­generation
Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) technology to help
disperse energy from the cabin section as well as the fuel
system and a supplemental restraint system (SRS) with
occupant sensors and a total of seven airbags: a driver’s side
knee airbag, two front airbags, two front seat­mounted side­
impact airbags and two side curtain airbags.
The Lancer Evolution Final Edition also comes with a rear view
camera.
Outside, new 18­inch BBS® satin platinum alloy wheels with
gold centre wheel ornament, gloss black bonnet air outlets and
front bumper centre, radiator grille with dark chrome surround
and unique two tone colour range with black painted exterior
roof enhance the Lancer Evolution’s famous good looks. A
special ‘Final Edition’ badge also features on the boot lid.
Premium interior appointments unique to the Final Edition
model include leather steering wheel, park brake, shift knob
with contrasting red stitching, black headlining, black pillars,
leather look floor console with red stitching and ‘Final Edition’
carpet mats.
Recaro® partial leather bucket seats with contrast red stitching
emphasise the Lancer Evolution’s performance credentials.
The colour multi­information display also features a ‘Final
Edition’ greeting on start up.
The Lancer Evolution Final Edition has a unique two­tone
colour range available in Starlight White, Tungsten Grey and
Red with a contrasting black roof and Phantom Black with a
contrasting gloss black roof.
Each model will feature it’s own unique serial number plate –

AU0001 to AU0150.
Mitsubishi Motors Executive Director Marketing Tony Principe
said that the Lancer Evolution ground­breaking technology will
continue to evolve in future Mitsubishi vehicles.
“Throughout the last decade, Lancer Evolution served as a halo
for the Lancer sedan range and the Mitsubishi brand on the
strength of its incredible rally heritage, state­of­the­art
technology and sure­footed dynamics.
“The Final Edition Lancer Evolution, delivering the highest
engine performance in the history of the Evo series, builds on
all of the technology honed in the evolutionary path since the
introduction of the Evolution I in 1992,” said Mr Principe.
“While the Lancer Evolution has reached full maturity as a high­
performance four­wheel drive sedan, Mitsubishi Motors will
continue to apply technology honed from the Lancer Evolution
like Mitsubishi’s Super All­Wheel Control (S­AWC) four wheel
drive system, to other vehicles, as with Outlander PHEV.
“The Lancer Evolution is integral to Mitsubishi’s notable
motoring heritage and we are proud to round off this chapter
with a fitting tribute.”
