Mitsubishi Motors
MITSUBISHI CONCEPT VEHICLES

Driving tomorrow
At the last two-yearly Tokyo Motor Show in October 2007, Mitsubishi Motors presented three new concept cars that optimise driving pleasure, safety and environmental responsibility.

An electric car that will combine minimal environment
impact with outstanding performance.
i MiEV Sport
The i MiEV Sport uses a 3-motor system, with 2 in-wheel motors driving the front wheels and a single motor powering the rear wheels. An electric powered 4WD (E-4WD) system optimises the power generated by each motor. The S-AWC system integrates E-4WD, Electric Active Yaw Control, ABS and Active Stability Control to deliver sporty performance with predicable handling.

Mitsubishi Motors is conducting research into auxiliary solar panels and wind turbine fans to maximise use of natural energy sources, as well as wireless charging systems to make charging this electric car more convenient.

A number of design features, including use of plant derived “green plastics”, optimised weight distribution and aero-dynamic shape, are being utilised to reduce the environmental footprint of the i MiEV Sport.

Concept –cX
A high-power, high-efficiency 1.8 litre low-emission diesel engine SUV.

The Concept-cX will feature Twin Clutch SST transmission to deliver responsive performance and return low fuel consumption. To ensure exceptional traction and practical utility it uses an electronically controlled 4WD system.

Concept-ZT
A newly developed fuel-efficient 2.2 litre low-emission diesel engine and Twin Clutch SST power the Concept-ZT. The car is designed with safety in mind, including features such as:

• an advanced S-AWC dynamics control system,
• an advanced radar system which detects obstacles ahead and supports any required evasive action,
• a lane-drift warning system,
• a pop-up engine hood to reduce pedestrian injury
• all-round multi-monitor system which displays images from the entire vehicle perimeter when starting off or parking. Four cameras work with the system's object-sensing function to determine whether vehicles or other objects will cross the path of the vehicle and warn the driver
• Parking assistance system supporting in-line and reverse parking – the car will do the steering manoeuvres and the driver will only need to apply the brakes as necessary.
