History of star Lyon 4WD rally >
Eighties beginnings, Mitsubishi participated in the category which is called to WRC group 4 with the run sir EX2000 turbo. But, by 200 production cars where main current is called group B immediately, it kept entering to the times when it can participate in WRC. With Mitsubishi, adjusting to this group B stipulation, it came to the point of developing the vehicle which has the turbo engine with 4WD, that is star Lyon 4WD rally. Cutting the star Lyon which is the based vehicle front overhang, the 2mm bore raising the same 4G63 type SOHC engine as the run sir EX2000 turbo, basically, you used as 2091cc. The highest output 360ps/7000rpm, largest torque 35 0kg m/5000rpm. Setting that engine mount to the rear as much as possible, it was the conception that that it distributes to the tire front and back with the 4WD transmission of 5 speeds. Because it is the rally machine like the new racing car for Mitsubishi ワークス, part supply although it went from Mitsubishi, assembled actually concerning the production early vehicle famous Suzuki sheet metal with such as race/lace, アンデルス クーラング and ラッセ ランピ etc. did test travelling at such as feather bird survival land and Mitsubishi Kitsuregawa laboratory of that time and finally kept finishing.
In November of 83 Tokyo motor show marketing 200 in official debut, and 84 year final stage it participated in WRC, with it was the schedule which is said, but the rival of this time, アウディ and プジョー and Lancia and others had announced the machine which from already advances. プジョ of the midship - 205 and Lancia 037, it is delta S4 and S2 クワトロ etc.. And summer of 84, as for star Lyon 4WD, you debutted in the mil piste rally of south France which can run also the special car which is not marketed. This time it has become prototype class victory once, but プロト of Citroen and Matra 4WD each 1 unit you be able to test the same class be able to start running in other things and, all-inclusive running what it does only star Lyon was the class victory with being. In addition, just the last 3rd leg ran also RAC which it can start running in November of this year. But, when already you mention 500ps over, obtaining the power which does not have either Tetsu, still, competing with the rival of midship layout without is not either the expectation where it can win, as for star Lyon 4WD there are no either times when it is marketed it ended the history of the group B in WRC in limited to 86 years.
After that the group B which loses the place of participating with WRC becomes that each manufacturer fights furiously in such as hill climb series, but in 87 with アウディスポーツクワトロ usual 750ps, maximum of 1, we have been times, 000ps, assuming, that Mitsubishi continued activity that way, the place of participating was not in star Lyon 4WD which is the mass production car base.
Star Lyon 4WD presently to beauty talks is converted as a machine of the tragedy where the category which participates with the group B end of WRC is gone, but you can say that it is the machine of the tragedy which is produced with the efficiency whose Mitsubishi which could not be overcome in remainder and the world trend which are really swung in cost is vague. In addition, being superior in traction and the like when accelerating concerning the potential, when you see totally, there is also a testimony that it was slower than group 4 run sir. Plan of actually place beginning had draft as a midship 4WD, it probably means that the result where is already different a little, but when like the chassis layout is done and when it has been given the engine of the private design, that thinks, the name, star Lyon is used and how as another high, has been produced. But the technology which is cultivated in this star Lyon 4WD is not wasteful under any condition, after that it blooms in ギャラン and VR4 and the run sir evolution series has reached to the present.
