QUOTE (DSMNightmare @ Nov 22 2005, 09:36 PM) That's not the article written by Dino Carbonare is it? Right now it's a bunch of hype... I seriously doubt that model will come out in 2007 just because they need to have enough time to milk the EVO IX for all it is. Most manufacturers don't run a generational auto line for only one year unless it's complete junk. Dino Dalle Carbonare, yes. I don't think this is about production model years for commuters. I believe this is about WRC. If that's true then this is easy to believe ... for some, anyway ... -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

If you notice Dino has some misinformation in that article.. one of the big things was something about the production years of the EVO VIII and IX. I read the online article a while back and found a few things wrong with the article. I'd have to see the article again to point out what I'm thinking about. Don't get me wrong Dino is an amazing photographer but that article has some flaws.

The article SCC had about the new "concept X" has me a little bit worried. We all know the 4g63 is gone, but its the talk of the electronically controlled active steering differential that scares me.

That probably means it's just electronic power steering, same as on: Honda Civic Si, almost all BMW's and a few other cars that escape my mind at this hour of the day. I think it's something of a safety thing The Evo IX I believe is in it's second year right now. I heard rumors of Direct Injection on the next model motor, which has helped the new Golf turbo have RIDICULOUS torque response (full torque at under 2k rpm) Other than the interior, I welcome the new design -------------------- -The original (member) 007. Stop looking at me Spy!!

The Audi/VW 2.0L was 1.8L turbo motors have always had full torque between 1750 and 1950 rpms over the years. The response is mostly the ridiculously small turbo.
Horsepower: 200 hp @ 5,100-6,000 rpm Torque: 207 lb-ft @ 1800-5000 rpm What is interesting is the flat torque curve and the horsepower peak. With the direct injection they get over 30mpg highway in the Audi A4's 0-60 mph in seconds: 7.1 (FrontTrak manual models), 7.3 (multitronic CVT with FrontTrak and 6-speed manual with quattro), 7.5 (6-speed Tiptronic with quattro) Top track speed: 130 mph* EPA fuel economy estimates (city/highway)*: multitronic: 24/32 manual, FrontTrak: 23/34 manual, quattro: 22/31 Tiptronic: 22/30 -------------------- |

I like the MIVEC and direct injection concepts, God knows. It's what they're building into the trans/diff parts that's scary. Sure,they can make anybody a good driver and cover up tons of mistakes. But they take away some of the finesse you can achieve with talent and practice. All the automatic recovery and prevention pieces are going to inhibit some fun driving and techniques that can be used effectively for better performance at times ... just thoughts ...

That's why the '03-'04 Evo VIII will always be my favorite. No Active Center Differential. Just pure unadulterated mechanical diffs. |

Those pics are concept. I guarantee you the production interior will look much different.

from the pics of the EvoX on the new SCC mag it looks like the X will be based on the 7-9 platform as well. I'm relieved.

After reading the article I took it that Evo VIII they were driving was just a test bed for the S-AWC system. The Evo IX was a J-spec version with the AYC. After seeing pics in Motor Trend of a taped up Evo X running on the Nuburgring, I don't think the exterior is going to look much like an VIII or IX. |

Read the SCC article's beginning closely. This is a test mule for the drivetrain, nothing more. That's been the buzz when this thing's been talked about is that it's posing in a IX dress.
What they actually release COULD be based on the IX but, apparently, may not be ... There wasn't enough info in that article on the intelligent braking to suit me just yet. Gonna hafta stay tuned ... -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...
