Mitsubishi Motors to Enter 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Published on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 in


Two all-new MiEV Evolution II all-electric racecars to take on legendary race

Colorado Springs, June 26, 2013 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will compete in the 2013 edition of the world-famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb*1 from June 25 to June 30 with the MiEV Evolution II all-electric prototype. With the upgraded MiEV Evolution II, MMC aims for overall first place. 

MiEV Evolution II

MMC’s team will consist of two of the new all-electric four-wheel drive (4WD) racecars.
MMC will utilize the data and technical knowhow garnered through its participation in the event in its @earth TECHNOLOGY*2 next-generation advanced technology R&D program for eventual use in future production vehicles.

MMC entered the Pikes Peak competition for the first time last year with the i-MiEV Evolution all-electric prototype, finishing second in the Electric Division. Participation in the event brought a rich harvest in terms of vehicle speed, acceleration and other on-road data, as well as drive battery consumption, motor temperature and other data and knowhow critical to electric vehicle development.


Like last year’s i-MiEV Evolution, the MiEV Evolution II uses parts used in production vehicles combined with a high-capacity battery and high-output motors both specially designed by MMC’s suppliers. Based on experience gained from last year’s race, MMC added S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamics control system to a two-front/two-rear four-motor drivetrain for increased handling and control in the MiEV Evolution II. These, together with a specially-designed body that provides reduced weight and improved aerodynamics, has resulted in a significant improvement in driving dynamics.

One MiEV Evolution II will be driven by two-time Dakar Rally overall champion Hiroshi Masuoka, who piloted the i-MiEV Evolution to second place honors in the Electric Class last year and also act as Captain of the MMC team. The second MiEV Evolution II will be piloted by Greg Tracy, six-time Pikes Peak motorcycle champion.

In addition, Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMC’s United States subsidiary) is participating as Presenting Sponsor for this year’s race and MMC’s new Outlander – recently awarded Japan’s JNCAP Five Star Award as well as JNCAP First Prize for outstanding safety performance*3 – will be this year’s “Official Safety Vehicle” for the world-famous race.

About the MiEV Evolution II

The MiEV Evolution II is an all-new all-electric racecar designed with data and know how gained from last year’s Pikes Peak race, based on parts from production electric vehicles including the i-MiEV. It carries an array of advanced technologies improved from last year’s i-MiEV Evolution packed into a specially-designed lightweight and aerodynamic body, including a high-capacity battery and four high-output electric motors for improved motive performance in addition to a pipe-frame chassis and a carbon cowl for reduced weight and improved aerodynamics.
Superior motive performance, handling, and stability are made possible in the MiEV Evolution II with
  • A low center of gravity due to the battery being installed under the floor
  • A two-front/two-rear four-motor 4WD drivetrain with MMC’s S-AWC integrated vehicle dynamics control system
  • AYC (Active Yaw Control), which optimally controls the yaw moment to generate high cornering capability
  • ASC (Active Stability Control) which improves stability by automatically controlling brake force to one or more wheels and motive power
  • ABS (Anti-lock brake system)

Mitsubishi Concept G4

Kuala Lumpur, 17 June 2013 – Come with your loved ones as Mitsubishi Motors will bring the Mitsubishi Concept G4 in Malaysia from June – July. The Concept G4 debuts in Mid Valley Megamall from 19-23 June, 2013 (Wednesday-Sunday) followed by these locations:

No. Venue State Location From To

The Concept G4 was recently previewed at the 5th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition.

The Concept G4 is a vision for a new compact sedan which Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) plans to roll out globally. The Concept G4 uses a high-clarity brilliant-cut diamond motif in the design of the front grille, headlamps and rear combination lamps to create a frontal visage with a commanding presence and a tail end which leaves a sharp impression as it drives off into the distance.
    The Concept G4 carries next-generation compact sedan styling featuring
  • a short nose which delivers an outstanding forward field of view and superior maneuverability,
  • graceful and flowing side proportions which balances interior space among the most generous in its class with very sleek aerodynamics, and
  • a dynamic character line which kicks up towards the rear.
The Concept G4 achieves fuel efficiency that is among the best in its class as its RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body – the lightest in its class due to the extensive use of high-tensile steel – is powered by a lightweight and compact 1.2-liter MIVEC engine mated to a CVT with sub-geartrain in addition to uncompromising weight reduction throughout.

The Concept G4 delivers driving pleasure thanks to the agile and pleasing driving dynamics stemming from its lighter weight as well as its reassuring handling/stability and comfortable ride. Passenger comfort is enhanced by the high hip point and large door openings which facilitate entry and exit as well as by its generous rear seat leg space.

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s current line-up of vehicles includes the latest Mirage Sports, i-MiEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) and the compact SUV, Mitsubishi ASX.
Be sure to come with your family and friends and be acquainted with the Mitsubishi Concept G4!
