The Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan (includes Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Despatch) police department has scooped a fleet of brand spanking new Mitsubishi Lancers for its hardworking officers. A total of 32 cars were supplied, 27 of which are to be used as patrol cars while the rest have been set aside for the VIP Protection unit.
“We consider this opportunity as one step towards becoming a preferred supplier to fleet managers who are looking for affordable, comfortable and powerful vehicles to fulfill their needs” says Mitsubishi SA boss Suraiya Naidoo.
The new Lancer is equipped with a 2.0-litre engine producing 114kW, making it one of the most powerful naturally aspirated 2.0-litre cars in the country. It comes with either a manual gearbox or a CVT and is capable of achieving a top speed of 200km/h. We can certainly testify to the superior handling abilities of the Lancer having tested one in 2008.
Mitsubishi will finally launch the insane 217kW Evo X some time this year.
