Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MIEV

Since it's no hybrid, How is the range in miles per charge? Looks fun to drive from the outside, 'till I notice its an auto ;[
That wing made me throw up
Ugly. The best looking among all Evo's is Evolution 8 but no way I'm going to trade one with my NSX. Question..How are you suppose to open up the trunk with those spoilers on. 
lol anyone else notice it has 380 ft-lbs of torque...
being electric motor.... it can keep that torque over the full rpm range.....
holy crap wahts teh 0-60 =)
.....
wait... holy $hit its 380 ft-lbs * 4 LOL!!!
so how come a 380 ft-lb motor only puts out 65 horsepower, is it limited to 1k rpm then?

well im' guessing there are 4 independant torque converter's for each wheel
so each wheel has its own engine + mini transmission to gear it up.
on the bright side i'm guessing you could run just in RWD mode to save on charge perhaps? this would be great if we had a nuclear reactor under the hood :biggrin:
oh yeah for those of you who havent noticed, check out the big RED button by the shift knob.... LOL its an EMERGENCY OFF button
btw something like this could work if we used some of the new instant charge battery technology and something like this http://www.sigmaautomotive.com/electrocharger/electrocharger.php
haha super capacitor array goodness
0-60 time would be 3.3 seconds, but it only has enough juice to reach 48 MPH on a standing start full thottle test! LOL
Nice!!! (Especially if the wing was removed)
If they could get 100-150 miles out of a charge and overnight charging, I bet they could find a market for it.

Electric motors put out their max torque near 0 rpm (or across a range, such as 0-1000 rpm) and from there, torque reduces to 0 at max rpm (ie, no more torque to make it spin faster). So, you can figure out what the torque is at max hp if you know the rpm max hp is made at.khappucino said:
The wing is from the WRC Evo8, it's been out for long time. No, I don't know how they open the trunk and yes, it's ugly.
is that just me, or the transmission shifter cluster look like the Mecedes one??

With that much torque can you spin the rims in the tires?! :biggrin:
While that is cool, it’s a little deceptive. Conventional torque is measured as a flywheel number, even if it’s on a chassis dyno. So by the time you take a standard Evo’s 275 ft-lbs and send it through a 2.9:1 first gear and a 4.6:1 final drive, a standard Evo puts 3668 ft-lbs to the ground in 1st. It also puts 2460 ft-lbs down in 2nd, 1771 ft-lbs down in 3rd, 1265 ft-lbs in 4th, and 910 ft-lbs down in 5th. So this electric one, without the benefit of gear reduction, should launch similar to launching a standard Evo in 3rd gear.
Still – it’s cool to see them playing with an alternative energy.

The body on it is VERY nice.
