Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X New Pictures

It's a perfect 10 for Mitsubishi. Auto Express can exclusively reveal the Evo X ahead of its debut at October's Tokyo Motor Show. And to prepare the world for the rally bred saloon, Mitsubishi will unveil a concept version of the standard Lancer at next month's Frankfurt expo.

Designers have exposed their plans and released an official picture of the new four-door (second image). But with the ninth incarnation of the Evolution only recently launched, it's a surprise details of its successor are being revealed now.
With sleek, aggressive styling, the next-generation Lancer promises to be a genuinely attractive saloon. But the four-door will only be sold here in hot Evo X form. Cheaper variants are likely in five-door and estate guises, with all versions going on sale in the UK in mid-2007.

The thrilling newcomer promises to represent a big step forward in design and engineering quality. With the benefit of a new platform, the Evo X will deliver a more extreme driving experience than its predecessors, and sharper performance. The firm is already working on an advanced all-wheel-drive transmission which it hopes will better anything future Subaru Imprezas can offer.

Under the bonnet is a fresh 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which will be turbocharged to give a minimum of 320bhp. Flagship machines are expected to boast more than 400bhp, surpassing even the hardest-tuned editions of the Evo IX.

it looks nice but it looks too bulky to be an EVO. im really interested to see what it will actually look like when its produced.

That red one looks great! It's got a skyline-esque front end.

Rich · 08-21-2005, 09:48 AM

yeah i wasnt quite sure why the red one was up there.. it didnt talk about it in the quote. but it looks a lot like EVO VII.

digitalballz · 08-21-2005, 09:49 AM

low end model = 320 BHP!!!!!!!!!!

playerx4 · 08-21-2005, 02:08 PM

Looks hot.

jazzman · 08-21-2005, 03:17 PM

the red one also looks mildly like an sti from the front doors back..

GregFarz78 · 08-21-2005, 08:00 PM

Good concept but I'd be hesistant to buy one mitsubishi's track record has been very poor lately

Irate · 08-21-2005, 08:10 PM

^semi-colons and periods are your friends (not the bloody ones).

Anyways, I'm with Greg. I've always had a special spot in my heart for the Mitsu Evo's, but given Mitsu's current trend I'm pretty sure an STi or other turbo'd car will be my next daily driver.

These are the official renderings. The red car is a photochop.

jazzman · 09-08-2005, 11:44 AM

looks like a charger and a new mustang gt500 in the front, and an infinity fx35 from the back.... interesting

ViperGTSR · 09-08-2005, 12:11 PM

GregFarz78 · 09-08-2005, 12:57 PM

I kinda like it but looks too much like a hatchback...the STi gets uglified for 2006

DrFabulous · 09-08-2005, 01:13 PM

Never liked the look of the EVO really, STi going downhill in 06..... I hate to say it, but SRT-4 is looking better every day.

Rich · 09-08-2005, 02:01 PM

man, i hope that the hatch is an option. still interested to see what itll look like in production, but the front does look pretty mean. as of now, i think id rather have an VIII.

ViperGTSR · 09-08-2005, 02:11 PM
