2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is "Official Safety Vehicle"

The technologically-advanced safety features found in the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander has made it an excellent choice for the "Official Safety Vehicle" for this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC). The Outlander sports Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Mitigation, as well as great interior styling!

The PPIHC is held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado; it's a unique road course that begins at an elevation of 9,390 feet and finishes at 14,110 feet! The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will also be joining the 2014 Outlander at this year's event as a supplemental safety vehicle; both vehicles that will be in attendance were built specifically for the race.
