Mitsubishi: Evolution X
Cars in Action
Posted Fri, 16 Jul 2004
With all the turmoil at Mitsubishi at the moment, it's great to see that the Japanese marque hasn't lost sight of the goalposts. Just take a look at the all-new Evo X concept...
This look into the future of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evo was shown to a group of astounded journalists at a recent press conference in Japan. An aggressive nose, new headlamps and trademark rear spoiler have transformed the tenth evolution of Mitsubishi's fast four-door into something out of Darwin's favourite dream.
A spokesperson for the company has emphatically stated that the concept is merely "a design study and not the final model", but if the finished product is anything like what is depicted here, Evo X could well be the next generation of road racer.
On the cards now is a four-cylinder turbocharged mill thought to produce in excess of 240kW and 431Nm of torque. An all-new platform with a redesigned chassis based on the latest technology and an active limited-slip differential will ensure that Evo X will maintain it’s heritage of performance salon car excellence.
However, we still have a long time to wait before Evo X hits the street as the Lancer-based Evo IX is only due for release next year.

Anywho I hope the nose looks a lot different than that.
