Strada Triton sensation for Riau Consumers

As the market leader in the pickup class with its flagship product Strada Triton, PT Krama Yudha Three Diamond Motors continued to maintain his achievements was in a unique way. Mitsubishi car manufacturers in Indonesia was held "Strada Triton Test Drive & Driving experiance with Hirosi Masuoka" conducted in two regions, Balikpapan (East Kalimantan) June 15 to 16 and Pekanbaru, Riau (18-19 June).

In two areas it provided two tracks with different designs. As in Riau that followed Kompas.com, the first track is 300 meters bernuasa off-road adventure complete with a variety hendicap, starting menanjang and down steep roads to test the power, surging in order to feel the suspension and puddles.

The other, the track is 2 km landed like a rally track. Here, guests of customers (consumers), individuals and fleet (mining and plantation) are invited to feel the sensation of driving and the actual toughness of the Triton with the legendary Paris Dakar rally driver Masuoka.

The choice of Balikpapan and Pekanbaru, according to Rizwan Alamsjah, Marketing Director of KTB because the contributions of both the area in the sale of Triton is very large. "From a national sales, accounted for about 40 percent of Pekanbaru, Balikpapan was even greater, namely 50 percent," said Rizwan sidelines of a test drive it.

Strada Triton users in both these areas, further Rizawan very complete. There are individuals, businesses, estates and palm oil. "Just for us to give experience to feel the pickup performance with the legendary rally driver Masuoka," said Rizwan who come to be passenger driven by a Japanese racer.

No less than 200 invitations, both individually and from various backgrounds (plantation and mining companies) to maneuver to conquer various corners at high speed up Strada Triton GLS driven by Masuoka. He cried, the track slippery due to rain, so in addition to performance, also the stability of the car can be felt.

After the test ride, not drive their own invitations using Triton X-HD 2.8-liter diesel engine 4M40 SOHC wading off-road terrain. Here not only strength, agility D-Cab is tested when cornering sharply uphill straight.

Automotive Updates : New Diesel Engine Technology from Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi launched a new diesel engine DI-D Hi-Power-capacity 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve Cammon Rail Direct Injection Technology that uses a Variable Geometry (VGT). Later, the heart of this runway will be a mainstay for the new Pajero Sport.

What are the advantages of the new engine with VGT it? Although the capacity is still the same, but the maximum power that the original PS 136, after the VGT increased to 176 PS. Remarkably, this machine is capable of providing maximum power at any engine speed range (RPM).

"We will use this new machine as soon as possible and now this for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and the subsequent new models of others," said Rizwan Alamsjah Marketing Director at Head Office KTB KTB, Pulo Mas, East Jakarta, today (15 / 4).

Unfortunately, Rizwan still not willing to explain further when and other models are prepared. But, one thing is sure KTB, this machine will be a new choice. This means that Indonesia will likely Mitsubishi Pajero Sport wear it on that reportedly launched this year.

When asked the possibility was launched at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) in June 2011, Rizwan replied, "God willing, coming soon anyway."

How to work VGT? At low to medium rpm, the fins on the VGT are automatically moved to close so that the exhaust gas passage narrows, causing the turbine spin faster.

Unlike non-VGT turbo. Flue gas volume moved slightly into the aisle width so that the air velocity decreases and makes turns the turbine is reduced. Tip, turbo less than the maximum.

When in high speed, the volume of waste gas will be solid so that the fins VGT move enlarges and reduces the exhaust back pressure and keep the turbine speed. That is, with the same base engine produced more power, better emissions control, burning cleaner and more refined engine sound.

Automotive Update : Mitsubishi distribution to dealers Down

A security guard stands near new Mitsubishi cars imported from Thailand awaiting transportation, after being unloaded from the ship at the Tanjung Priok port car terminal in Jakarta August 4, 2010. The Indonesian government plans to regulate vehicle use in the capital after the Transport Department revealed data on registered vehicles in the capital, numbered up to 6.7 million units, said Jakarta governors Fauzi Bowo to local media last week. The impact of natural disasters that hit Japan begin to be felt by PT Krama Yudha Three Berlian Motors (KTB). ATPM Mitsubishi in Indonesia experienced a decline in production, so that delivery to dealers in April is expected to fall to 23.3 percent to 10,000 units from the earlier of 13 047 units.

"The situation is a dilemma, when the market is good-good in Indonesia, the supply of new units would be reduced," said Rizwan Alamsjah, Marketing Director at the Office KTB KTB, Pulo Mas, East Jakarta, today (15 / 4). 10,000-an amount that, he continued still fairly tolerable than the initial prediction that the company is expected to drop lower reaches 7,000 units. However, principals in Japan continues to blow away the longer the positive news to make the supply of components could be higher.

Rizwan himself, he had received reports from the principals in japan if Mitsubishi still looking for alternative suppliers from Japan. Unlike other brands, there are supplied from other countries.

Until now, the average of Mitsubishi products are assembled in Indonesia only contains 50 percent local components and the rest is imported from Japan. Therefore, KTB is still very dependent on the principal. "I think the market decline will occur within one to two months in advance. Hopefully after the June 2011 conditions had improved.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Concept

 

According to Mitsubishi, the small crossover segment will grow 480 percent in 2013. This means that there are at least half a dozen new pint-size SUVs joining the new Outlander Sport so far. Only this year, Mitsubishi has new competition from both the Kia Sportage and Nissan Juke.
Specifications
Peel the body of the sport and you will see that the Sport is called Outlander Outlander for reasons unrelated to the efficiency of marketing. The Sport shares much of its mechanical composition with the larger Outlander. The two vehicles share the same front portion of his office, along with the structure to the pillars A and B. The wheelbase is the same, and bandwidths are only half an inch away. But to give a five-passenger wagon recreational dimension more about your brother seven passengers, 14.6 cm of chopped Mitsubishi Outlander front and rear. This, combined with weight-saving measures, such as front fenders plastic, the front-drive version of the Outlander Sport tips the scales at just 3098 pounds, about 400 pounds less than the Outlander.

It’s a good thing that the engineers shaved some weight, because the only engine available is 148 packing 2.0-liter four-cylinder horsepower Lancer 145 pounds-ft of torque. All competitors Mitsubishi offers four-cylinder engines with more horsepower and torque. To a lesser degree ES model, this engine is paired with a five-speed manual or CVT with paddle shifts and standard magnesium front wheel. But in the more upscale SE model, it is a CVT and only the option of all wheel drive Mitsubishi system called all-wheel control (AWC).
Do not confuse with the CTA systems found in the Lancer Evolution Outlander or even regular. It is less advanced but still uses a myriad of electronic sensors to detect slip and send the appropriate amount of torque to the rear axle. In lock mode, you have a 60/40 torque split front and rear, which is variable up to 30/70. In most vehicles with four wheels, a lock mode means that the proportional torque transfer case will lock in a 50/50 torque split transmission equal doses of engine power for each axis.
The suspension systems of the Outlander and Outlander Sport are almost identical, with MacPherson front and a multilink design in back. The Sport uses a little lighter softer springs and rear stabilizer bar less tense. In front, the Sport debut new electric power steering system to reduce the load on the engine and help fuel economy.

The Drive
The Sport Outlander admits 20 horsepower compared to its Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and competitors, so exactly why good Outlander’s 2.4-liter engine to 168 hp four-cylinder was not used is intriguing. But because of the weight reduction of the sport, she does not feel weak off the line. The model more agile and fun to drive programming is the lowest price, five-speed manual model ES. The power train front-wheel drive, save a little weight, and line capacity of its gears makes the manual itself sprightlier feel that the CVT.

Retuned Exhaust
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution's exhaust system has been tuned for an even more sporty-sounding exhaust note.

Sporty-looking Rear Spoilers
All Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR models now include a large rear spoiler at no additional cost to the consumer, with the MR version receiving a stylish low-key rear lip spoiler.

USB auxiliary input
Every Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution features a convenient USB port that is easily accessed inside the storage bin between the two front seats.
Aggressive Racing Car-Inspired Styling
Automotive enthusiasts - especially fans of motorsports - have long appreciated the distinctive and aggressive body lines that have been a trademark characteristic throughout the years for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sports sedan. The current 10th-generation car continues to carry this trend but does so with a design aesthetic that is arguably the most refined interpretation of this legendary high-performance sports sedan's long and storied sporting history.

Inspired by the air intakes on jet fighters, the tall and wide openings of the car's front fascia not only lend the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution an imposing face but also flow vast volumes of air into the engine compartment to provide beneficial cooling to the radiator and intercooler, helping to maximize power production. Vents located atop the lightweight aluminum hood and on the sheetmetal aft of the front wheels are as functional as they are stylish as they help to evacuate hot air from within the engine compartment.

Protruding fenders at all four corners, a relatively tall beltline that slopes slightly downward towards the front of the vehicle and the car's short rear deck lid all combine to give the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution a stance that is both muscular and attractive-looking.

A tall trunk lid-mounted rear spoiler (GSR model) or a low-profile rear lip spoiler (MR model) round out the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution's exciting race car-inspired exterior styling.

Exhilarating Turbocharged/Intercooled 2.0-Liter Engine
The well-engineered 4B11 T/C engine is at the heart of every Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution's fast-paced athleticism - it can get the pulse racing of even the most jaded automotive enthusiast with its ultra-quick acceleration and loads of instantaneous power on tap at seemingly any point of the tachometer's rev range.

Though only 2.0-liters (1,997 cc) in displacement, this hearty DOHC 16-valve inline-4 powerplant consists of an all-aluminum engine block and cylinder head (for high-strength and light weight) and a bore and stroke that both measure exactly 86.0 mm (3.4 in.), making it a "square" design as its bore-stroke ratio is 1.0. Power ratings for this engine are 291 horsepower at 6,500 rpm with a full 300 lb.-ft. of torque produced at a much lower 4,000 rpm. Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC) works on both the intake and exhaust camshafts for optimized power production and cleaner exhaust emissions. This turbocharged/intercooled engine's compression ratio is 9.0:1.

Short-Throw 5-speed Manual or Rapid-Fire 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic-Shift Transmission
As standard equipment on the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR, the 5-speed manual gearbox is a driver's delight.

Its shift lever navigates through the gates with rifle bolt-like precision with each short, satisfying throw. The driver will also find that the lightweight clutch pedal operates in a similar manner. The functionality of both the shifter and the clutch pedal reward the operator with a high degree of mechanical feel - precisely what one wants from a high-performance sports car.

But while the smooth operation and tactile feel of the manual transmission found in the GSR model offers satisfying performance, the hard-core driving enthusiast will surely opt for the high-tech transmission included in every Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR model.

Mitsubishi's revolutionary Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) is nothing short of an engineering marvel.

The TC-SST allows the driver to perform shifts in a fraction of the time that they could be performed with a standard manual transmission. The system also allows the driver to make these shifts via the console-mounted shift lever or even more conveniently by magnesium steering wheel paddle shifters. What's more, this close-ratio 6-speed Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission can operate in a fully automated mode, just like the typical automatic transmission. In either manual or automatic mode, each up or down shift takes place instantaneously with no perceptible lag time, with the engine management system "blipping" the throttle with every downshift, matching the engine and transmission speeds perfectly.

Supercar Performance from Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC)
Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution has always been known for its exceptional handling prowess. But the advanced electronic driver aids on the current generation vehicle - especially the company's superb Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system - have taken the Evolution's road hugging maneuverability to an astonishingly high level.

Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is not one specific device but a network of technologically-advanced dynamic systems that constantly communicate with each other to provide optimized tractability. These include Active Stability Control (ASC), an Active Center Differential (ACD), an Active Yaw Control (AYC) rear differential, and Sport ABS brakes. Working in concert, Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) modulates torque delivery to each wheel in real-time for maximum control.

The Active Stability Control (ASC) includes the vehicle's traction control and stability control systems and helps to regulate brake force and engine power distribution at each individual wheel.

The Active Center Differential (ACD) uses an electronically-controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch to split engine torque (up to 50:50) between the front and rear wheels. This routing of engine power between the front and rear of the vehicle is determined by data collected from a variety of sensors including individual wheel speeds, throttle opening, steering wheel angle, and the vehicle's lateral and longitudinal positioning.

Acting in a similar fashion to a conventional limited-slip differential, the Active Yaw Control (AYC) rear differential utilizes a planetary gear differential, yaw rate sensor and brake force control via the Active Stability Control (ASC) system to control rear wheel torque for improved traction and stability in slippery road conditions and high-speed cornering.

And thanks to advanced brake pressure and yaw rate sensors, the Sport Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps the driver to maintain better steering control on slippery surfaces or under very heavy braking.

Advanced Sport-Tuned Chassis and Suspension
A highly rigid structure, strong but lightweight components and a superbly-tuned independent suspension system make up the foundation of every Lancer Evolution.

The Evo's platform features ample use of ultra-strong yet lightweight high-tensile steel along with a hood, greenhouse and front fenders composed entirely of lightweight aluminum. Mitsubishi engineers cleverly placed the car's battery and windshield washer fluid reservoir in the trunk to help improve overall vehicle weight distribution.

The suspension consists of a McPherson type strut (inverted strut) design at the front of the vehicle with a multi-link suspension employed at the rear. To improve unsprung weight, the control arms for both the front and rear suspensions are constructed of forged aluminum. Another Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution strong suit is its incredible braking ability, thanks to a Brembo braking system that uses 4-channel Sport ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and large ventilated rotors at all four corners (13.8-in. diameter with 4-piston calipers up front and 13.0-in. diameter with 2-piston calipers in back). The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR model's brakes are even more advanced as they employ a two-piece rotor design for reduced weight. Super-sticky 245/40R18 Yokohama ADVAN asymmetrical performance tires wrapped around 18 x 8.5-in. wheels (Enkei® cast-alloy on the GSR and BBS® forged-alloy on the MR) round out the ultra-high-performance componentry and design that make this sensational performance car every bit as capable on the racetrack as it is comfortable for driving in the real world.

World-Class Daily Driver
Having made its mark on the world in motorsports competition including multiple championships in the grueling World Rally Championship (WRC) where combatants battle it out on courses that include sand, gravel and paved roads, the current Lancer Evolution is a delightful vehicle to live with on a daily basis thanks to its excellent ergonomics and thoughtful amenities.

Supportive yet comfortable RECARO® front bucket sports seats work well for either quick trips or long daily commutes, while a sumptuous-sounding 6-speaker 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with digital signal processor, cruise control, automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and power windows, side mirrors and door locks help make extended time behind the wheel very pleasurable.

A Touring package is also available for the MR that consists of a power glass sunroof; leather seating surfaces for the RECARO® seats; improved sound insulation; rain-sensing wipers; automatic on/off headlamps and heated front seats and door mirrors.

Advanced Safety Technologies
The 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution features numerous innovative safety technologies to help protect all of the vehicle's occupants.

Every Evolution is endowed with Mitsubishi's next-generation Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) unibody platform that, in the event of side or rear collisions, helps to dissipate energy away from the vehicle's occupants to improve protection from injury; the RISE system also helps to protect the fuel system from rear impacts.

Seven air bags are also included: Advanced dual front air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) with occupant sensors, front seat-mounted side-impact air bags, side curtain air bags and a driver's side knee air bag. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and anti-lock braking system (advanced Sport ABS included on the Lancer Evolution) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) are also included.

Another Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution strong suit is its incredible braking ability, thanks to a Brembo braking system that uses 4-channel Sport ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and large ventilated rotors at all four corners (13.8-in. diameter with 4-piston calipers up front and 13.0-in. diameter with 2-piston calipers in back). The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR model's brakes are even more advanced as they employ a two-piece rotor design for reduced weight. Super-sticky 245/40R18 Yokohama ADVAN asymmetrical performance tires wrapped around 18 x 8.5-in. wheels (Enkei® cast-alloy on the GSR and BBS® forged-alloy on the MR) round out the ultra-high-performance componentry and design that make this sensational performance car every bit as capable on the racetrack as it is comfortable for driving in the real world.

World-Class Daily Driver
Having made its mark on the world in motorsports competition including multiple championships in the grueling World Rally Championship (WRC) where combatants battle it out on courses that include sand, gravel and paved roads, the current Lancer Evolution is a delightful vehicle to live with on a daily basis thanks to its excellent ergonomics and thoughtful amenities.

Supportive yet comfortable RECARO® front bucket sports seats work well for either quick trips or long daily commutes, while a sumptuous-sounding 6-speaker 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with digital signal processor, cruise control, automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and power windows, side mirrors and door locks help make extended time behind the wheel very pleasurable.

A Touring package is also available for the MR that consists of a power glass sunroof; leather seating surfaces for the RECARO® seats; improved sound insulation; rain-sensing wipers; automatic on/off headlamps and heated front seats and door mirrors.

Advanced Safety Technologies
The 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution features numerous innovative safety technologies to help protect all of the vehicle's occupants.

Every Evolution is endowed with Mitsubishi's next-generation Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) unibody platform that, in the event of side or rear collisions, helps to dissipate energy away from the vehicle's occupants to improve protection from injury; the RISE system also helps to protect the fuel system from rear impacts.

Seven air bags are also included: Advanced dual front air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) with occupant sensors, front seat-mounted side-impact air bags, side curtain air bags and a driver's side knee air bag. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and anti-lock braking system (advanced Sport ABS included on the Lancer Evolution) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) are also included.
