Super TestCar reviews - Mitsubishi - Magna - Ralliart sedanMitsubishi modelsResearch Mitsubishi Transmission24 Jun 2002 RALLIART Magna's five-speed manual transmission is carried over from the VR-X unchanged, although in the Ralliart application it is coupled to a helical gear limited-slip differential in an effort to harness the performance gains from the new engine. The five-speed INVECS II "Smart Logic" adaptive electronic automatic transmission, with Sports Mode manual control, has been upgraded with a revised shift pattern - affecting both upshifts and downshifts - which according to Mitsubishi is more closely matched to the power and torque characteristics of the 180kW engine. Wide open shifts have been programmed to occur at the point of maximum power, enabling the next gear to engage around peak torque engine speeds. The auto variant misses out on the limited-slip differential but picks up the traction control system from the VR-X. Did you know?No changes were made to the Ralliart's traction control system as Mitsubishi claims it performs even better with the Ralliart Magna's different suspension and tyresAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
