Mitsubishi Evo XI Hybrid Concept 2014

The next Mitshubishi features a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine mated to some derivation of the electric motor found in the hot new Mitsubishi i-MiEV plug-in electric. Expect upwards of a combined 350 horsepower and far better efficiency than the current 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution’s 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway.
The replacement model for the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will get a hybrid powertrain and is set to rival the almighty Nissan GT-R. The new Evo will not be as we now know it; instead, it will be offered in either a 500hp plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
An Interview report adds the powertrain will pull this high performance car from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds. Also known that there will be adoptions from PX-MEV concept revealed in 2009 Tokyo Auto show, so deductions goes to 1.6 liter gasoline engines mated with electric hybrid motors, which will receive power from lithium-ion batteries.
The next-generation Lancer Evolution will likely take styling inspiration from the Concept-RA shown at Detroit Motor Show in 2008 and if the market shows positive interest towards the upcoming Lancer PHEV hybrid - which will have a frugal fuel economy figure of 1.9-litre per 100km - then the doors will be further opened for a new Evo.

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants.
