"Mitsubishi prepares the resurrection of the iconic Lancer Evolution."
Is there a source where Mitsubishi directly made a statement in regards to this? So far it just seems like speculation to me, as I haven't found any official source from Mitsubishi.
Whole lotta speculation, couple sites claim it is happening but just as many say maybe. Be sweet if they did bring it back on a smaller chassis than X.
If it's really going to look somewhat like this, with those headlights and fogs, I'd buy it! Just in a different color. Kinda Lexus like, but at least they unchopped the front end. Rear end better be better though.

Not trying to bash on the X's, but when Motortrend tested the IX against the X, the stock Evo X was slower in a straight line and on a track than the IX. The X's AYC was basically used to keep up with the 8 and 9's in a stock per stock form
The X has a more capable engine than the 4G63 though and when modified correctly is an awesome competitor.
insane how unsecure the CT9A chassis guys around the X lol its oke, you guys are "faster" magazine said so lol
anyway, i wonder if they will use the Megan Chassis, and Evo Drive train. That would be an amazing combo . I am sure Nissan/Renault/ Mitsubishi Evo would be something to buy
i am looking forward to see what they will cook up.
Megan and those FWD cars chassis like the SEAT is pretty amazing .
just look at this video the Factory SEAT ( sport version) is how fast! imagine that with more powerfull engine and EVo AWD....
Man I just saw the news. My X was the greatest car i ever had. Bumped it up to 333whp with a cf hood and it was the ****. Ended up selling it after 6 years n 55k miles bc of the expected cdiff issue and the awd issue that hit me at 50k. Went to 2015 STi and wasn't even close in terms of fun...hoping it makes a comeback
You must have forgot Evo X : AYC for quick lap times
Evo IX : skill and talent for quick lap times.
Not here to start a argument, if the 11 comes about I hope that it has the edginess of a 8 or 9, and the refinement of a X.
Magnetic ride control perhaps, to truly live up to the name :
EVOLUTION.
I necro bumped you to poke fun at all your horrible inaccurate comments about the X, as you know dink about it.
SAYC was in overseas CT9A Evos, only the US got the privilege of being neutered of that.
In Lightning Lap on V.I.R.'s Grand West track, the fastest Evo is an X, not an IX. Skill and talent for quick lap times in an Evo VIII or IX? What a joke. Drive an analog RWD car. I laugh at the whole "refinement" thing. What is refined about an Evo X? Just because they finally got SAYC? Take your decade old fanboy comments to the IX vs. X thread. They don't belong here.
PS: You haven't been on this forum long enough to know anything about Evos.
On topic: Megane engine, Nissan chassis, Mitsubishi SAYC, and the possibility of an electric assisted engine? Yes please!
I'll probably get a lot of crap for saying this, but if they truly want to make an evolution of the next model. It needs to have electric assist motors in the rear. Having something like a 300hp engine with 2x 50hp electric motors on the rear helping push a 70% rear power bias AWD system would be banana's. Argue all you want about things not being "pure" no one can escape the fact the 100% torque immediately on the low end, and the turbo taking over at 3500rpm would feel amazing in an evo.
