I think active center since Evo VII and active rear since Evo IX?

They most definitely have an active centre diff. Google it...

Did you notice that in the third post of the evolution.net link have a link to a pdf which describe the drivetrain. In the most right text box on the upper part say that evo 3 and 4 had a viscous coupling and from evo 5 an active one.

Here’s a link to AYC document about the development.

I have also (February 2008) downloaded an document of the development of the ACD but I couldn’t find it on internet anymore.
Those figures cannot be right. 450 Nm @ 7500 rpm equals approximately 474 hp. The torque figure quoted must be at a much lower engine speed.
I suspect some technical illiterate in a marketing department has put maximum power, maximum torque & maximum rpm together on the Mitsubishi R5 web page in a way they were not originally specified.
Yes, that's clear nonsense but since the publically presented power and torque figures are never true I doubt many people on this board bother to read them at all :)
