The new Mitsubishi Outlander will soon feature an advanced new transmission, the carmaker has revealed.

The Twin Clutch SST gearbox, as seen in the Lancer Evolution X, is due to be unveiled in the Outlander at the Paris Motor Show in October, ahead of a 2009 UK launch.

Mitsubishi promises faster shift times than a manual, as well as reduced power loss during shifts, lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
