Thought I would start this thread, hopefully it will become a "sticky" so we can put bits of info about what is likely to be included in the new Challenger.
From the new Triton info, details of the new engine that we may see;
New 4N15 2.4 Diesel
Locally, the 2015 Triton will launch exclusively with the 2.4 litre diesel, which boasts a low compression ratio of 15.5:1 - a key factor in the use of an aluminium cylinder block.
A variable-geometry turbocharger is featured, matched to Mitsubishi’s MIVEC valve timing and lift control system.
The new engine is also lighter than the previous model’s 4D56 diesel option, contributing to an overall 20 percent improvement in fuel consumption.
The new ‘MIVEC Clean Diesel’-badged engine’s figures see 133kW available at 3500rpm, while peak torque (430Nm) is available at 2500rpm.
Importantly, Mitsubishi says the new engine’s design focuses on reduced maintenance costs, thanks in large part to the use of a timing chain that needn’t ever be replaced, and longer intervals between engine coolant changes, valve clearance and other inspections.
New six-speed manual and five-speed auto transmissions will feature with the new engine, with the auto also equipped with Sport Mode shifting.
The new manual boasts triple-cone high-capacity synchromesh in first, second and third gears, along with a new pedal-force transmission cylinder.
For the new ‘Sport Mode’ auto, there’s higher torque capacity and a revised gate-type shift pattern.
cheers, old Jack.
