This makes a large amount of utilitarian space available that offers practically limitless possibilities. The Dion's 2.0-litre GDI engine provides both stress-free performance and a class-leading level of fuel economy. 
The Pajero has undergone its first full model change in eight years. Our aim for this next generation was to build "The Car" that suits you better than any other in the world. Mitsubishi's direct-injection technology will lead the way toward eco-friendly engines for the 21st century, and we have prepared two types to power the new Pajero, the 3.2-litre DI diesel and 3.5-litre GDI engines. These engines deliver powerful performance with plenty of torque while they also remain gentle on the environment by consuming less fuel and producing cleaner emissions. Super Select II 4WD offers four drive modes so the user can choose the optimal performance setting to match the conditions. A new dimension in independent 4-wheel suspension ensures handling stability and performance. The "King of Off-Roaders" fuses superior on-and off-road performance and the sophisticated packaging of a luxury passenger car. 
Pictachio is the chic new mini born of the concept that the car for in-town use that will handily support all the user's daily needs should be "smarter" and more economical. The Pistachio's stylish and compact body houses the advanced GDI-ASG powertrain from our GDI-Sigma to achieve outstanding fuel economy that is harmoniously balanced with smooth performance and stress-free driving experience. 
This custom model was built to commemorate the unshakeable winning reputation of the Lancer Evolution that grows even stronger with each additional win and Tommi Makinen's three straight sweeps of the WRC driver championship since 1996. In addition to the impressive coloring scheme that befits champion, this special edition model features a custom front bumper and air dam, 17-inch aluminium wheels of the same design as those used in the '99 WRC rally events, and a custom seat that sports a Makinen logo. Refinements to the suspension system and other performance equipment complete the package. 
The Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis is the luxury-class space utility wagon built to deliver quality into the hands of the user. Quality is the theme of both the exterior and interior, and this begins with the satisfying ride provided by the V6 3.0-litre GDI engine. Interior appointments include exclusively designed genuine leather seats, a TV system, and a large, sliding floor console. The exterior features custom aluminium wheels with a high-gloss finish, 215/50R17 tyres, and low-down suspension. Our pursuit for quality is evident in this model, and the Chariot Grandis delivers prestige that loses nothing to luxury dsedans.

Interior features include newly designed luxury seats, genuine leather wrapped steering wheel and MMCS. 
On display is the rally version of the New Pajero, which has undergone a full model change that aims to place it as "The Car", a product worthy of being labelled a luxury passenger car. Of course, we have tapped the maximum potential of this rally version in preparing it to compete in the Paris-Dakar-Cairo Rally in January 2000. The highly rigid monocoque body is paired with a specially tuned version of the responsive 3.5-litre V6 MIVEC engine that is a successor to the legendary powerplant used in the Pajero Evolution. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension has also been tuned to deliver even better performance. 
The WRC (World Rally Championship) series is marked by fierce competition as the respective makers jostle to establish their names. And Mitsubishi continues to perform in a manner that gives pride to the name, even as the speed of these fierce rally events grows faster by the year. The Lancer Evolution VI on display at this show was entered in the 1999 WRC series. It is powered by the Mitsubishi 4G63 2.0-litre DOHC 16-valve engine that produces 290 horsepower of highly responsive power. A newly developed active 4WD drivetrain achieves a high new level of balance that includes cornering performance and traction on all surfaces. The Lancer Evolution rally version leaves the competition behind in a cloud of dust.  |
