The Star...

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has acquired 25 units of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (with manual transmission) which will be used alongside the Proton Wajas and Iswaras as patrolcars. The purchase was rumoured for some time but the PDRM did not officially comment on it and it was thought that the cars might be used for undercover purposes.

High-performance models are nothing new to the PDRM and even as far back as the 1970s, the force had a fleet of 2-litre Alfa Romeo Alfettas, the first police force outside Italy to use the Italian cars. Marketed by City Motors at that time, they were assembled at the Swedish Motor Assemblies plant in Shah Alam, Selangor.

Later on, during the 1980s, the police also purchased a small fleet of Ford TX3s which were used for undercover operations. The cars were unmarked and little was known about them other than that they existed. Around that time, other government agencies like the Customs also used models like the Citroen BX and BMW 318i in order to pursue criminals who had fast machines.

In the 1990s, the Highway Patrol got the powerful Volvo 850 T5 stationwagons which were ideal for use on the North-South Highway. The stationwagons served for some time but today, the Highway Patrol uses Mitsubishi Pajeros, Nissan X-Trails and some Proton Satria GTIs.

The PDRM will be sending its Evo drivers for special training courses so that they will be able to make full use of the car’s performance so illegal racers had better think twice before trying to accelerate away when they see flashing blue lights behind them. The police also say that the cars may have other roles that require high-speed escorts.

As these are government vehicles, the cost would be about half the showroom price of RM324,000 since they are purchased tax-free. Also, the Evo's 295 bhp engine is a thirsty powerplant but since the police also get tax-free petrol, that should not be a worry either!

betul ka ni bro...dari mana sumber ko dapat ni?keluaran bila ni...mcm mantapz ja cerita ni...

wahaha buli tahan pdrm ni

habis laa..lumba haram lagi kalau berani

ini gambar dia...haha

ini mmg btl nie..ada jga crta ttg nie sy dgr..ada kluar dlm akhbar jga..

itu la.... kerajaan, kalau dgn rakyat asik sangat menyuruh kita beli kereta buataan malaysia alih2... polis pun pakai barang bukan malaysia punya...(pahal takut ne wakakaka)

belilah barangan buatan jepun..hahaha

peh EVO X lagi tu.... tapi betul tu kenapa tak beli buatan malaysia..... adakah tak berkualiti? HArga sebiji boleh dapat berapa biji Protn Wira or Saga BLM... ini kenyataan... tapi apapun semua dibuat nie mungkin ada sebabnya.... anyway kalau jumpa comform bawa berlumba.... hehehhehehe pas tu jumpa di balai kuikuikui..

ya bumbek..kalau ko nampak jak terus la ko cucuk2 dr belakang...kompom ada lagi yg escort ko dr belakang terus ke balai...ekkeeke

sllu durg x dpt kejar krta2 lumba kn..nie kli lh law durg uda pkai evo nie..hihi.

huhu cayalah kalo kota marudu ada 1 kompom akulah sukarela mo jdik driver nya...hehehe

pasni pulak jgn le pulak polis yg menganjang mo belumba...hahaha

itulah yg di bimbangkan...hope pihak atasan dapat ketatkan sikit penggunaan
kreta ni hanya org2 trtentu sahaja boleh drive ni kreta...kalo banyak tangan pkai...nnti rusak...siapa pun tk mo tnggungjawab....

kena beli ferrafi la supaya nda kena kejar nti....wakakakaka

ya btl 2..urg trtntu jak yg ble pkai nie n time trtntu jak ble d pkai..law pkai ska2 ati na ssh lh..

walapun polis pakai kereta evoo...dorang endak berani bawa laju juga 2 broooo......pasal apa....dorang takut nanti kereta 2 tercalar ba.....habis gaji dorang 1 tahun nanti mengganti.....huhuhuhu....polis kita jgn takut...tapi kalau jpj baru la.....pakai kereta apa2 ja dorang...tapi kalau kita kena tahan...mati ohhh...bayar saman.......

ala....ada ja kerajaan sekarang.....kalau kira motor diaorng laju lg...

entah la... maybe kereta ne... guna d semenanjung jak... sebab di sana memang banyak lebuh raya... kekekeke lau d sabah.. d mana dorg mau jalan? alih2 lari 80 trus smpai... wakakakakka nda kesempaian mau lari 180... wakakakaakak aduina...

fuhhh...ne kali...silap2 chomm chommm tu taw..bule bawa sukat lagi....apa2 pn mmg hebat la PDRM skg ne..

Spec Enjin EVO X

year:	2007
0-100 time:	12.5 sec.
Layout:	Front, Transverse
0-60 time:	4.5 sec.
Displacement:	121.9 Cc
Torque @ RPM:	300 @ 3500
Top Speed:	160 mph
Transmission:	6-Speed Manual
Engine:	Aluminum Inline-4 DOHC, 4 Valves per Cyl MIVEC VVT
Horse Power @ RPM:	286 @ 6500

Suspension

Front: McPherson strut with inverted shock absorber and forged aluminum lower control arm, front strut tower brace
Rear: Multi-link wishbone configuration using forged aluminum lower control arms, stabilizer bar, front strut tower brace
Working
in concert with Mitsubishi Motors’ "Roll Control Suspension"
technology, this design will deliver very high levels of ride and road
holding.



Brakes

Front: Brembo 12.6” ventilated discs, 4 pistons caliper

Rear: Brembo 12” ventilated discs, 2 pistons caliper

The Sport ABS system’s ECU uses information from
a steering angle sensor that detects steering inputs as well as from
lateral G and vehicle speed sensors to apportion pressure to each of
the four wheels independently. The result is improved steering response
under braking.


The Electronic Brake Force Distribution system
optimizes allocation of braking force between the front and rear
wheels. Increasing the pressure applied to the rear wheels when braking
close to the limit, EBD reduces the load on the front wheels to realize
better anti-fade performance. The system also compensates for changes
in surface and vehicle load conditions to ensure predictable and
consistent stopping performance at all times.




Engine & transmission

In the mechanical components department, MITSUBISHI
EVO X will mate a turbocharged aluminum cylinder block MIVEC engine to
a high-performance 6-speed auto-manual transmission.

It will also showcase Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC)
vehicle dynamics control technology. A further step up the evolutionary
ladder of Mitsubishi
Motors four-wheel drive traction and handling technology well proven in
the Lancer Evolution and other series, S-AWC will realize cutting-edge
levels of vehicle dynamics control. Based on Mitsubishi’s full-time 4WD
system, as used in Lancer Evolution, that is built around ACD*3 and
Super AYC*4 component technologies, S-AWC adds Active Brake Control,
Active Steering System and Roll Control Suspension technologies to
realize a fully integrated system.

Another addition will be the ACD (Active Center
Differential), which incorporates an electronically controlled
hydraulic multi-plate clutch. An ECU optimizes clutch cover clamp load
for different driving conditions, regulating the differential limiting
action between free and locked states. The result is improved steering
response together with better traction. ACD will provide three modes -
Tarmac / Gravel / Snow - to enable quicker control response for changes
in road surface.
