HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

MODEL INDICATIONS

The following abbreviations are used in this manual for identification of model types.

MPI: Indicates the multipoint injection, or engine equipped with the multipoint injection.

DOHC: Indicates an engine with the double overhead camshaft, or models equipped with such an engine.

M/T: Indicates the manual transmission, or models equipped with the manual transmission.

A/C: Indicates the air conditioner.

TARGETS OF DEVELOPMENT

A new competitive device in addition to technology established in the previous motor sport events to

improve potential performance as well as outward and inward appearance with a sophisticated view to

represent a high performance sedan of the next generation has been featured to improve the image

of Mitsubishi brand.

Furthermore, enhancement of competitiveness as well as driving performance in various motor sport

events has been sought.

AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

Deterioration of aerodynamic performance accompanied with enlargement of the body size has been

suppressed by attaching a large-sized under cover on the lower part of the engine compartment, optimizing

elevation angle setting of rear spoiler.

(1) Under cover

A large-sized under cover is designed for compatibility of reduction of air resistance and reduction

of lift.

(2) Rear spoiler

Lift control by attaching elevation angle adjustable rear spoiler and optimizing attached position of

the spoiler are designed for reduction of air resistance.
