However, when the clutch is depressed, or if any electrical mechanism inside the car requires power, for instance the air conditioning, heating, or radio, the engine automatically restarts. Some of the changes Mitsubishi has implemented to improve the Colt’s fuel efficiency include the gear ratio, a more efficient alternator, low-viscosity oil in the engine, and low-resistance wheel bearings and tires. Believe it or not, the tires that come with the Colt can increase the fuel efficiency by quite noticeably! The cumulative effect of these efficiency measures is to give drivers a car that can get some of the best gas mileage in the country. Now that’s the kind of automotive innovation everyone can get behind.

Some of the prototypes of new cars in Weatherford making appearances at recent car shows reveal that Mitsubishi is on the cutting edge of automotive design and engineering. Of course some of the Mitsubishi concept cars have features that will probably never make it into regular cars on street, but these advanced features show that the daring designers at Mitsubishi are willing to try almost anything to make more beautiful, fuel-efficient, and comfortable vehicles. The Active Center Differential (ACD) employs an electronically activated multiplate hydraulic clutch to split front and rear drive torque for optimum balance between traction and highly responsive steering.

The Mitsubishi Concept-RA is a sporty car that you wouldn’t have to feel guilty about driving. It’s no gas hog. Mitsubishi’s advanced drivetrain design is paired with a cutting-edge 2.2 liter, 4-cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve clean turbo diesel engine to make it both fuel-efficient and clean burning. This car’s valvetrain supplies continuously variable valve timing control, coupled with a fuel injection system that permits this engine to run cleanly with a lower compression ratio. Mitsubishi is obviously working toward putting this cleaner diesel technology on the road in the next several years. But it is thoughtful, intelligent design touches like these that prove Mitsubishi cars some of the best-engineered vehicles on the road right now.
