All Wheel Control
Mitsubishi Motors employs a unique "All Wheel Control System," cultivated through its motor sports activities and long history in rally racing. For ideal driving every time a driver corners, turns or stops, this technology brings out the utmost performance in all 4 tires and enables the driver to experience dynamic acceleration while clinging to the road. This system will evolve to an even higher order in the future.

ACD (Active Center Differential system)
The ACD system makes it possible to control the flow of power through a limited-slip differential, going from a non-drive state to a direct drive 4WD state via a center differential limited-slip mechanism (internal transfer) that electronically controls a hydraulic multiple-disc clutch.
During acceleration or deceleration, ride stability increases as one approaches the direct drive 4WD state. Improved cornering performance is the result as the power to the limited slip-differential approaches the non-drive state.
Three optimal modes can also be selected to match road surface conditions.
Super AYC (Active Yaw Control system )
The Super AYC system controls the vehicle's rotational forces (yaw moment) by sensing road surface conditions, steering wheel angle, lateral acceleration, and electronically controlling the distribution of power to the left and right rear tires.
When entering a curve, the power is applied to the outer wheels thereby improving maneuverability. When accelerating in the latter half of a curve, the power is transferred back to the outer wheels and reduces understeer. In addition, power is transferred from the wheel(s), regardless of side, on slippery or rough surfaces to the wheel(s) that are on a non-slip surface. This improves both stability and acceleration from a standstill.
ACD & AYC are equipped on the Lancer Evolution VIII.

Sports ABS
The Sports ABS system supports braking when entering into a corner by controlling power to all tires depending on handling characteristics.
Braking can be controlled to obtain optimal damping at each tire based on information from 4 wheel speed sensors and steering wheel angle sensor.
