i said it in the rsoc bb, now im saying it in here looks like we are all in for a fright just take alot at some of this;-

Data

wheel base 2,600mm ( 90mm longer )

Mitsubishi already presented the very first GDI-Turbo motor. This is not the coming Evo-motor, but let you become a feeling for what is going on:
The GDI and its inherent advantages afford highly responsive and economical turbocharging. The ability of the GDI to change fuel injection timings and styles enhances the potential of a turbocharger.


During low-load conditions, the GDI operates in
Ultra-Lean Combustion Mode, with petrol injected
during the compression stroke.

For the powerful low-end torque needed for
acceleration, the GDI temporarily switches to
Two-stage Mixing. Fuel is injected during the induction and compression strokes to create a rich stratified mixture.
Reduced turbo-lag
Conventional turbocharged engines during heavy throttle operation suffer from
“turbo-lag” that is caused by delayed onset of
turbine revolutions and “turbo-kick” that results
from a significantly higher volume of air suddenly
spinning the turbine.
In the GDI, the turbine is already spinning at very
high speeds prior to acceleration because
ultra-lean combustion requires a large volume of
air. This minimises both turbo-lag and turbo-kick.


Superior fuel economy to a conventional
turbocharged engine

A conventional turbocharged petrol engine has a low compression ratio to prevent knocking. Though
this provides more low- to mid-range torque, it
worsens fuel economy. The GDI’s knock-preventing ability enables a relatively high 10:1 compression ratio to be maintained even with turbocharging.
Furthermore, increased volumetric efficiency due
to turbocharging extends the operating range of the Ultra-Lean Combustion Mode.

How heavy?! Do they have to make the engine out of iron again?

I concur with Moray, check the weight out if I was you, as that seems way too heavy for such a car - a UK Scoob is 1235Kg giving 176.5bhp per tonne and this new Evo VII will only have 190bhp per tonne. Not much of a forward step.....

Mike,
They do weigh that - they're a little lardy. It's a bit like having a Scoob with Harj as a passenger.

Craig!

My good looks make up for the weight disadvantage, oh yeah, my car runs

Harj,
You bitch. It may run, but it sure runs slowly. Try putting your foot down, especially round the bends

I'll be back - soon. Maybe
