Limited-edition Mitsubishi 311RS Evo X coming to Minneapolis Auto Show [w/video]

[MummyChunk]

From AB





















Track Developed, Street Prepared, Limited Production. The 311RS is
here.

It's been more than 3 years in the making, but it's here. The 311RS.
Everything we learned while developing the Gates311 Evo X for the past
3 seasons comes together to produce the 311RS. Track precision, meet
street functionality. Limited to only 11 units, the fully warrantied
311RS is here.

Out of the box, the Evo X is a very capable car. But it is capable of
so much more. The process of developing an Evo X from factory stock
into the World's Fastest Evo X takes time, effort, and plenty of
support from so many great people. Throughout that process, my
partners and I have learned an incredible amount about the Evo X
platform. We've learned how much power and abuse a stock 4B11T can
handle. We figured out the optimum wheel and tire package, the highest
RPM the OEM transmission is capable of functioning at, how much
chassis-flex is tolerable, and nearly everything in between. With all
of that knowledge, the 311RS was created. A combination of everything
we've learned, developed, and tested, I present to you the 311RS. The
ideal Evo X.

Engine

AMS Intake
The exclusive design of the AMS Performance Intake dramatically
increases air flow to the turbocharger for increased horsepower while
eliminating clutter in the engine bay.

AMS Intercooler piping
A lightweight polished aluminum intercooler pipe system professionally
TIG welded in-house at AMS. The 2.5" mandrel bent tubing provides
less turbulent and restrictive air flow for maximum efficiency.

AMS Intercooler
Flawless design and 80% more internal flow area over stock, the AMS
intercooler has helped Evolution drivers win more races than any other
aftermarket Mitsubishi intercooler on the market. Drive hard with
confidence. This is the very same intercooler used on the
championship-winning Gates 311 EVO X and AMS Time Attack EVO X.

AMS Widemouth downpipe
It took months of development and testing to produce the
bestperforming cast downpipe for the Evolution X. Designed using CAD
and constructed 100% from grade T304 stainless steel, the AMS
Widemouth Downpipe not only improves horsepower gains, it offers a fit
and finish unrivaled in the industry.

AMS Cat pipe
The AMS EVO X Stainless Steel High Flow Cat provides an excellent way
to increase horsepower all while keeping you legal. Like all other AMS
exhaust products this High Flow Cat is tig welded with 100% 304
stainless components including the flanges. Designed to bolt up to our
stainless steel 3" downpipe and catback exhaust system only.

AMS Exhaust
AMS' Racing Series Cat-Back Exhaust system was chosen for it's
no-nonsense, all business design. Combined with the Titanium muffler,
it was designed to make the most power and shed significant weight
from the 311RS.

AMS Tune
The 311RS is tuned for maximum enjoyment under any given condition.
Whether at the track, on a run up the canyon, or out for a night with
the old lady, AMS has the 311RS dialed in.

Suspension

JRZ Suspension RS1
The newest product from JRZ; a combination of championship winning
technology and years of R&D to create the perfect street and track
suspension. Valving is designed to be adjusted from street comfort to
racing damping characteristics in seconds. The package was developed
with customized spring rates and adjustment range for the 311RS,
giving the owner the ultimate dual use package.

JRZ Suspension Top Mounts
Made from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum with motorsport grade
teflon coated bearings. Designed to transmit suspension loads directly
to the chassis giving unparalleled response and driver feel.

Evasive Alignment
With track records in spades, Evasive has proven they know how to
properly set up a car. Their involvement in the 311RS provides us with
a well rounded setup that keeps the 311RS' street car intentions in
mind without losing sights of it's track-bred pedigree.

Braking

Girodisc Two-Piece rotors
The primary purpose of the Girodisc system is to reduce unsprung and
overall vehicle weight. The secondary purpose is to increase the
ventilation and cooling capacity of the brake disc while retaining
it's original dimensions. This is accomplished by using two-piece disc
construction. The central "hat" section of the disc is made
from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is made from
cast iron, to the same specification and material as used by
professional racing organizations.

Girodisc 311RS pads
This race developed pad has all the qualities of a world beating high
performance street pad. Its consistent friction at any temperature,
low or high, gives very predictable braking and great pedal
modulation. This new generation of friction material is very low in
compressibility ensuring a firm pedal feel while still providing great
life for both rotor and pad. This brake pad has moderate dust levels,
is generally very quiet and is THE brake pad for a driver who demands
the ultimate in braking performance.

Girodisc Stainless lines
Besides looking cool, stainless braided brake lines provide some major
performance benefits. First and foremost is removing compliance in the
system to improve pedal feel and improve the ability to modulate
effectively. As the system heats up during heavy use, the rubber hoses
swell even more than when simply driving around town. These are one of
those rare parts that don't cost much but offer an immediate and
noticeable improvement in performance. DOT/FMVSS 106 compliant.

Girodisc Ti Heat shields
The problem of brake fluid boiling is simply traced to heat
transferring from the rotors and pads directly into the fluid through
the caliper pistons. Titanium as a material, has low thermal
conductivity. This means that it is very bad at transferring heat,
which is good if you are trying to keep your fluid cool. The Girodisc
solution to help prevent fluid boiling is to use a thin titanium shim
placed between the pad back and the pistons, to keep the braking heat
from transferring into the pistons and fluid.

Wheels / Tires

Volk CE28 wheels
Size 18x10.5 +18. Manufactured in house using proprietary aerospace
aluminum, RAYS wheels are produced utilizing their patented Mold
Forging technology which allows for a wheel that has an unmatched
blend of lightness, strength, and camber stiffness.

Nitto NT05 tires
The NT05ￜ is a max performance tire that was developed through
extensive computer simulation modeling and on-track testing. These
rigorous development procedures helped produce a street tire that
provides precise and responsive handling and performance. Knowing the
tire is responding to your inputs will inspire your confidence.

Exterior

JDP front lip
JDP's front lip was chosen for it's clean appearance and daily
functionality. Weighing less than 2 pounds, it proves to be functional
as well, providing aerodynamic enhancement to the 311RS.

VOLTEX Rear Wing
A simple added touch to the OEM rear wing. Voltex's rear wing lip
provides aero balance to the rear of the 311RS, and it's carbon fiber
construction matches that of JDP's front lip.

Jon Sibal 311RS livery
Our aim was to design a timeless livery that would define the 311RS
with a single look. Simple yet effective, Jon's livery does just
that.

Interior

etnies e-suede
Designed to be 3 times more durable than traditional suede, E-Suede
was chosen for it's ability to stand up to abuse, just like everything
else that makes up the 311RS.
