This weekend (11th-13th July) Mitsubishi will be showing off two of its future models at the Festival Of Speed, in Goodwood. The first is the all-electric i-MEV Sport which uses three permanent magnetic synchronous motors to power the car, space frame technology to make the chassis light as well as strong and Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) to give you the stability and handling you are used to with a Mitsubishi. The Japanese manufacturer has aimed to make it as green as possible to run and as well as being fume-free, it has regenerative braking, a photovoltaic generator on the roof and even heat absorbing glass to help power the air-con. The second is the concept cX which will showcase Mitsubishi’s 2009 Euro V compliant technologies which include a variable geometry (VG) turbocharger to generate optimum boost pressure for all engine loads, a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst). The baby Outlander as it Been nick-named also carries over the has Twin Clutch SST technology.

CHANCE ENCOUNTER
Rather like running, the Grandis is not something you go out of your way to chose but once you get introduced, it kind of grows on you.

MASTER OF DISGUISE
Aside from the wild spoiler and huge air intakes, an every day person could be forgiven for thinking the Evo IX is an every day run around.

PUNCH AND MOODY
Packing a good punch is not always relative to size; take the Mitsubishi Colt CZ turbo for example, it may weigh about as much as a bag of sugar but it bites like a menstruating piranha.
