Do you guys realize that if you where to make the Colt in that picture a sedan, it would be a Lancer Evolution IV or higher? I just think that's funny with a twist of irony.

 

is it just me.. or is it lhd? do we have it here already? hahah... just under black wraps?

 

You mean IX or higher, dan?

That's the Colt hatch body style I was keeping in mind when I made my decision. I'm also a huge fan of the WRC Corolla and 206 (Not so much the normal production ones). Like I said...I'm a sucker for a well built hatch. Same goes for wagons. If Mitsubishi were to put the Colt in their lineup as their next WRC car. Imagine a 270+hp AWD colt hatch like that...

EDIT: Yes, it's LHD unless someone flipped the pic. We're not the only market with LHD cars though.

 

This will be the last Evo, the colt will be coming in 2004. Mitsu is quiting WRC for a year. The pugs and the other hatchbacks are really turning up the heat. The rate at which the evo is getting better can't keep up with the tiny light pugs with the same output. The Colt should dominate the league from what I see specs wise. I mean a lightweight hatch mated with an Evo drivetrain with a shorter drive shaft. That'd kick ***.

 

for a road car, I greatly prefer a sedan like the Evo7/8 vs a hatch like the colt. the colt may be a better rally car, but I don't plan on racing mine off road. I want a good road car, and I think the evo8 fits the bill better for me.

 

I doubt this will be the last evo... I would put money on MMC turing the evo into a road racing beast - look at the recent success it has had despite being developed for off road racing.

 

I think that the EVO is a track car that Mitsu thought was meant for Rallying. Wasn't the basic "Evolution" of the car meant for tarmac in the first place when the WRC was mostly racing on that surface?

 

WRC has always mostly been on gravel. The Evo was designed to be a rally car.

video game version

 

A little odd, but I'd gladly take it.

 

...NiCe.....
...futuristic look to it...

Yeah, I hope will give the upcoming 3-door version a wider track than the 4-door.
I love that low, squatty look with wide fender flares.

 

mmmm, I can't pick, I don't have any special feelings for both of them...I like the previous EVOs....
