Group N
For
several years the world of production car rallying had been completely
dominated by the Mitsubishi Lancer. Its rugged build, unsurpassed reliability
and outright speed have made it almost unstoppable. Mechanical alterations
are very limited in Group N but the scope for optimisation through Electronic
control makes the class both competitive and progressive. The experience
that HKS Europe has gained in this field over the past years provides
us with a unique ability to optimise the engines and ensure they compliment
both the car and the driver.
Custom Rally Engines
Different
rally championships across the globe allow teams to exploit the power
levels available from the 4G63 by using air restrictors of different
sizes. The increased power and scope for development, in these categories
make then some of the most exciting rally cars in the world. As proven
by Mitsubishi for several years it is also possible to produce a car
which is not only the fastest in it category, but capable of beating
all competition and taking overall honours at the very highest level.
At HKS we have used our experience to produce a range of extremely competitive
and durable rally engines suitable for any championship whilst still
keeping budget in mind.
Le Mans
The
HKS LMS675 engine has been developed exclusively for the Le Mans LMP675
category. Still using the same block and head as the rally cars the
engine as been extensively redesigned in Europe to produce the massive
levels of power required whilst still having the strength and reliability
to endure the 24hours of Le Mans. Particular emphasis has been made
on the weight distribution and total mass of the unit. Using revolutionary
design concepts wherever possible, it is believed to be the stepping-stone
for the 4G63 to now prove itself on the racetrack as well as the rally
stage.
