Australian sales brochure ~1998
I bought this on ebay for $6 including postage. Pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it on here. I have a good PDF of it if you'd like a printable copy.
This last page is pretty interesting with regards to the specs, drive ratios etc.
But maybe I just find it interesting because of my nerdy streak...

The first picture is great.....but the description have, for me, a few discrepancy ....."long coil" are they?? "Rather than adapting existing engines, Mitsubishi engineers have built one specifically for io" and I thought that this engine was on the lancer first....humm... ??
Happy io
Lancer engine
I thought the same thing when I read that.
I don't really know much about lancers, other than that my mum's 2001 model is a 1.5L and there was also a 1.8 at the time.
They might mean that they had to make a special intake/exhaust manifold or something to make it 'unique'.
Was the 4G94 2.0 engine used on the next series of lancers perhaps? But first used on the iO?
OR, maybe they just have a particular cam design or ECU setting to produce more torque for the iO than the lancer..?
2 litre engine
True,
For the ECU....this is a question that I would love to know the answer....:)
The lancer and the io (with the 2 litre engine) have, I think, the same compression ratio (9.5), and a very close power, torque output. 92/95 kw at 5500 rpm, and 173/177 Nm at 4250 rpm. I haven't check all models
Happy io

75kw? 135nm of torque? Hummer got it wrong.
Im living the dream baby.
