looks like a normal evo but no heat extractors and says something on the front grill.

 

Auto evo 7 ralliart edition?

 

Evo 7 GT-A - the sport automatic JDM version

 

Evolution VII GT-A

It's an automactic evo.

 

If I recall correctly, the GT-A is rated by mitsu at about 4-6 less bhp than the standard 280bhp Evo 7. It was released in Japan in.... 2002? I think.

 

Its hot, with the hood having no scoops and the headlights, reminds me of an IS300. I can't believe they are going to radically change the X so bad, when cars like that and the 8 and 9 look so good.

its not all mitsu choice in that matter

 

The GT-A had no AYC either. Recaros were optional but they were the same recaros found in USDM Evo's as opposed to the JDM Evo VII versions. Without the Recaros, the interior of a GT-A is hardly distinguishable from that of a standard nana-spec Lancer.

 

this car is known as GTA/7.5/Evo Auto; and the engine is about 240bhp without intercooler spray, recaro and totally different interior. The hood has no air scoop and usually the car doesn't come with tall rear spoiler as shown in the picture.
