Mitsubishi just happened to have an Evo IX on hand for comparison purposes. It's worth mentioning that, though the Evo IX is the road-going racing car, those 331 extra pounds went into making the new car a bona fide daily driver. Getting into the Evo IX after driving the Evo X was like belting into a time attack car.
1. Acceleration
from standstill | ACD and ASC control the drive force
and brake force to balance acceleration
and road conditions. Powerful offthe-
line acceleration is generated by
superior control of wheel slippage. |
| 2. Braking | ACD and ABS maximize the effect of braking
force from all four wheels. The systems provide
stable, controllable braking and quicker stops
while preventing the wheels from locking up. |
| 3. Entering corner | AYC brings cornering performance in line
with steering inputs. Even with ABS engaged,
AYC controls the yaw moment to deliver
intuitive, follow-the-line cornering. |
4. Pulling out
of corner | ACD and AYC maximize torque
on each wheel. By enhancing
both cornering and traction
performance, the system
allows more aggressive
acceleration out of corners. |
| 5. Understeer | AYC and ASC work together,
maximizing torque and
brake force to keep the
vehicle under control. |
| 6. Oversteer | In emergency situations such
as spins, ACD’s superior
vehicle control, plus AYC and
ASC, assist the driver to safely
execute recovery maneuvers. |
| S-AWC Mode | Function |
| Tarmac | Weakens ACD control bias, strengthens AYC distribution |
| Gravel | Boosts ACD control bias, AYC effect is weakened for stability |
| Snow | Further boosts ACD and weakens AYC |
