OUTLANDER DRIVE ALIVE TAKING A NEW VIEW If your lifestyle or livelihood calls for some serious mudplugging then you can’t beat an SUV. But all thatserious work calls for some serious hardware, with obvious implications for the vehicle’s cost and bulk. So ifyou’ve dreamt of driving something with the powerful presence and commanding view of an SUV, yet neither neednor want the ability to go mountain-trekking on wheels, meet the Outlander. It’s an inspired crossover conceptfrom Mitsubishi – the people who know all about great new ideas. Outlander is an outstanding companion. Remarkably agile, quiet and composed, itssmooth, flexible engine and clever automatic transmission, fluid steering and firm suspension make theOutlander a genuine pleasure to drive. So be spontaneous; take a detour; take three: this four-wheel drive ismade solely for the road. 90 100 80 70 60 40 30 20 10 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 50 220 160 200 240 260 280 300 320 330 180 140 120 Engine Speed (rpm) Output (kW) Torque (Nm) 118kW/5750rpm 216Nm/4000rpm 2.4-litre SOHC 6 7 A TECHNOCRAT IN SEXY CLOTHING The Outlander takes its full-time, four-wheel drivetrain from the legendary Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rallycar so, whilst it may not climb mountains, it will happily power you up the slipperiest slopes, and slush, snowor standing water will never faze it. This is thanks to a centre differential with a viscous coupling unit which,under normal road conditions, splits the torque equally between front and rear axles. However, when conditionsdeteriorate and any wheels begin to slip it automatically increases power to the wheels with the most grip.
