As preparations for
the start of production of the Outlander PHEV were underway in Japan,
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation took its technology flagship to a last and most
unexpected reliability exercise – cross country racing.
Therefore, a
pre-production Outlander PHEV was entered in the 2013 Asia Cross Country Rally
(AXCR) which took place August 10th - 16th between Thailand and Laos. An
officially FIA sanctioned race, the AXCR is an Asian take at a Dakar-type of
extreme cross country rallying, which started this year from Pattaya and
finished in Pakse, in the southern part of Laos. Over 6 days, competitors drove
over 2,000 km on various road surfaces and conditions including mountain roads,
muddy jungle and river crossings, making it a true challenge in terms of
driving performance and endurance.
