About the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Vision Gran Turismo

Mitsubishi Motors, a company with a spectacular history in races like the Dakar Rally and World Rally Championships (WRC), has developed a special concept model for Vision Gran Turismo: This is the “Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Vision Gran Turismo”.

In the development of this special concept model, Mitsubishi Motors introduced their design team, Advanced Vehicle Research and Development Group, and Aerodynamic Engineering Development Group into this project in the same process they would normally follow to plan and develop real motorsports vehicles.

The styling of the car follows the basic concepts of the “MITSUBISHI Concept XR-PHEV” shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, while pouring in know-how gained from years of motorsports experience into its every detail. The result was the evolution of the concept into a stoic racing machine.

The “Athlete Form” design concept was advanced further, emphasizing the driving features aggressively. The iconic front grill is a study of next generation Mitsubishi automobiles, and the shape that forms a wedge starting from the triple diamond mark is designed in the image of an athlete at crouching position on a starting line, evoking an intense image of tension and potential.

Utilizing advanced development technology from the Plug-in Hybrid EV System, the spontaneous power of the motor and powerful torque of the engine is transmitted through an 8 speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) to drive the 4 wheels. It’s overwhelming drive performance is controlled precisely with the S-AWC vehicle dynamics control system that distributes the drive force optimally to the 4 wheels, producing a handling characteristic that moves the car exactly as the driver desires.

In addition, the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) body reduces weight and greatly contributes to its agility, and the downforce produced by the aerodynamic form of the front and rear diffusers produces excellent cornering performance. The large diameter 20 inch aluminum wheels gives an impression of a tough suspension system, and the powerful appearance of the front and rear fenders is in the image of toned muscles of a powerful athlete.

We hope you enjoy this special concept model, packed with the sports spirit of Mitsubishi Motors.

Sicuramente il fatto di vedere la parola Evolution affiancata ad un accrocchio simile mi ha fatto venire le colice di prima mattina, ma effettivamente è una voce che circola ormai da un po' quella del crossover Evo.

ma cosa è sta roba? sembra una di quelle automobiline a molla che si caricano con la chiavetta azz . Ma la Mitsu invece di buttar soldi in ste robe non può decidersi a spendere per dare un erede alla ex icona Pajero?

É un auto virtuale destinata al videogioco GranTurismo 6. Per un brand come Mitsubishi é comunque pubblicità...

Ah ok come non detto. Anzi devo dire che fanno schifezze IMHO anche per il virtuale.

[Melone]

ok che è solo per un videogioco (ed è quindi più facile sbizzarrirsi), ma com'è che tutti stanno tirando fuori belle idee per queste auto virtuali e poi su quelle di serie ti fanno venire il sonno? ^^
