View here the closest thing to a legitimate Evolution successor

I just downloaded the GT6 1.08 update expecting to get the VW concept but was pleasantly surprised to get the Mitsubishi vision concept labelled the XR-PHEV Concept.

A far cry from the current evo and maybe not fair to be called an evo successor but it sure is relieving to see Mitsubishi sharing something that hasn't been designed by an accountant.

Do I like it? Yes, yes I do.

Can I see myself buying one? Nope.

Do I think it will see production? Nah.

I'm interested to see what kind of sound it makes.. In the video its just alot of music.

I do like the look though. It doesn't really look like an Evo, whatever that means, but it looks very aggressive. I wonder if it would be only a coupe or if it would end up being a 4-door.

That is a bit OTT, the main attraction with an Evo is that to some it will look like a normal saloon, albert with big alloys and vents, then...BOOM GONE

EVO XI update

Raising the dead, just found these recent renderings.
This is closer to what the Evo XI will look like, the design cues are there and if you cross reference from the Concept XR PHEV on Grand Turismo, such as the wheel arch shape and front bumper lines, this is a step closer to the production model.

That's a step closer to proving that an STI and a euro Civic SI had a baby. It's also trying too hard and all for what, to still be 300 hp. Nowadays 300hp is where base cars are starting and still getting 30mpg.
The new STI looks like an Evo and the Evo would look like an STI. Pass.

I think the closest thing to an x in awd turbo will be something spun off the R5 platform they have just started testing for wrc...

I'm with FACT0RY PIL0T on this one, I see the Mirage R5 as the next platform as the evo, it wouldn't be new since the Lancer shared the Mirage name in the late 90s early 00s

I'm all for this. Mitsubishi Motors doesn't need to spend 200 million US dollars to develop an Evo XI. From Evo I to Evo IX, it was more or less the same car with that same 4G63T (Evo IX added Mivec variable timing), and it sold pretty well for a car with upgrades primarily on newer widgets.

So why not keep the Evo alive for another 8 generation by upgrading the Evo X's interior and exterior with new widgets? Mitsubishi, we know you can do it!
