The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 was the range topping
model for 2009.
Powering the Evolution X FQ-400 is a lightweight aluminium 2.0-litre
turbocharged MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic
Control) engine which produces 403 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm and
525 Nm or torque @ 3,500 rpm.
Significant changes were made to the FQ-400's powerplant in
order to achieve the higher levels of performance. Upgrades
included a remapped ECU (Engine Control Unit), motorsport specification
high-flow fuel injectors and a new hybrid turbocharger. The
higher specification turbocharger features low-friction bearings,
a high temperature turbine and strengthened thrust bearing to
increase response and reduce turbo lag. Feeding the turbocharger
cooled air, improving its performance and efficiency, is an
enhanced intercooler, while the exhaust's gasses flow from the
engine via a 3-inch diameter high flow stainless steel piping
and catalytic convertor before exiting through a centrally positioned
exhaust.
Sending the power to all four wheels is Mitsubishi's S-AWC (Super-All
Wheel Control) system. The S-AWC system combines a number of
electronic systems that improve both performance and safety,
with Active Stability Control and Active Centre Differential,
Active Yaw Control and Sport ABS .
The Lancer Evolution X FQ-400's handling has been improved thanks
to a wider track and lowered suspension featuring Eibach springs
and Bilstein Shock Absorbers.
