Model History
The Lancer Evolution VII brought along the Lancer Cedia Body styling and improved engineering features and elegant body styling. The Body kit design accommodatse a wider track rim and wheel selection. The Body frame is a larger size but has retained strength while giving a lighter weight.

For its front suspension, Evolution VII retains the MacPherson strut arrangement - with its legendary handling and straight line stability characteristics - extensively optimized to the model's new dimensions. Cornering performance - from initial response right up to the limit - has been improved in a well-balanced manner by widening the track, optimizing the roll center height and increasing the bump stroke by 15mm. The steering gear box has been lowered to realize greater linearity in toe changes, and to increase vehicle stability when turning.

Evolution 7 features a new Active Center Differential using an electronically controlled variable multi-plate clutch. The ACD boasts a differential limiting capacity three times greater than that of the viscous coupling-type differential used to date. In addition, the ACD's ability to tailor slippage for different driving conditions brings levels of steering response and traction control not possible with a viscous coupling differential. A 3-way manual override switch enables the driver to select Tarmac, Gravel or Snow modes to suit his preferences or conditions. The ACD also frees the differential on operation of the parking brake - thereby enabling the driver to make more effective use of side brake turns in rallies and other events.

Improvements to the turbocharger, larger capacity intercooler and oil cooler, and the use of triple-nozzle auto-adjust intercooler sprays (with manual override) realize class-topping maximum torque of 282lbs/ft at 3500rpm as well as a wider torque band. To accommodate the increase in torque, the transfer, propeller shaft and drive shaft specifications have all been uprated. In seeking the highest levels of dynamic performance in its homologation model, prior to the GT-A Mitsubishi Motors had only offered manual gearbox Evolutions. To bring the hi-performance all-wheel drive sports sedan experience to a wider audience, Mitsubishi developed the Lancer Evolution VII GT-A automatic transmission model.

Inheriting Lancer Evolution VII GSR’s exceptional dynamic performance, GT-A’s automatic transmission with Sport-Mode manual override is complemented by detail optimization of body, engine, suspension and all-wheel drive system to realize more intuitive and driver-friendly handling.

NACA ducts in the lightweight aluminum engine hood and the central air intake slot in the front bumper have been eliminated to reduce air resistance by reducing the amount of air inducted into the engine compartment, and to realize an exterior that that is both more refined and more matured in appearance.

On GT-A, GSR’s oversize rear-deck spoiler is replaced by a smaller version with builtin LED high-mount brake light. Catering to individual customer preferences, GT-A is available with GSR’s 4-way variable attack angle rear spoiler or with no rear spoiler, as factory-fitted options.

Model History
Evolution VIII, takes a further step up the evolutionary ladder with the introduction of Super AYC, a 6-speed close ratio manual transmission and other cutting-edge automobile technology.

Evolution VIII’s more aggressive and hi-quality exterior incorporates the defining elements of the new MMC design identity. It also features significant advances in aerodynamic and cooling performance reaped from extensive testing during development on the Nürburgring in Germany and in MMC’s own advanced wind tunnel facility. Reducing drag and lift, Evolution VIII’s exterior lines give it better high-speed straight line stability and handling through corners than its predecessor. The design also achieves the increased cooling performance necessary to extract the full potential of the new model’s uprated power plant and drivetrain. The hot air extraction vents in the engine hood, meanwhile, are 60% larger than on Evolution VII and with an improved heat protector design double the effective area. The rear spoiler uses carbon fiber-reinforced plastic for both horizontal and vertical components – a world-first on a 4-door production sedan.

The powerplant now generates class-topping torque of 290lbs/ft at 3500rpm, the result of optimizing the turbocharging characteristics of the twin-scroll turbocharger to increase boost pressure to 40mm Hg around peak torque. Engine durability and reliability have also been improved by uprating the aluminum pistons and forged steel con rods. With a number of other ranges the engine is now 2.5kg lighter.

Standard on the GSR, Evolution VIII uses a 6-speed close ratio gearbox to maximally utilize the extra torque generated by the uprated engine.

AYC has come under criticism in some quarters for not transferring enough torque to match the increased power outputs of the latest Evolution models when shod with high-grip tires and driven on race circuit or other high-friction surfaces. Responding to this, MMC developed and now introduces Super AYC after carefully calculating torque transfer requirements under simulated race conditions. Switching from the use of a bevel gear to a planetary gear differential, the new unit is able to transfer twice the torque of the current AYC.
