Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
Hot on the heels of the release of the 6-speed, Mitsubishi will release the Evolution 8. Dinner-plate fog lights, featured on all versions of the Lan Evo I - VI, will return and further tweaks to the engine should generate slightly more torque. Also in the works is an automatic transmission, which will most probably be sourced from its German parent!

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII 6MT
The Evo 7 already selling in satisfactory quantities, mainly due to customers' resistance to its arch-nemesis, the Impreza WRX Sti, wacky styling, will finally receive a 6-speed manual. This move will make this model even more popular. Reports say this new transmission will be offered in Spring 2002.

hmm...looks like an EvoVII with fog lights photoshopped on.

 

Here is the pic if you guys can't see it...agree with Gendo Ikari on the EVO VII comment

 

The other pics

 

I saw that stuff on Busybeetoys (or whatever it's called) over a year ago. Things have changed since then, as Japan already has the Evo GT-A.

 

should that Evo VIII is 2 door version?
that is what i hear.

 

Well if the evo 8 gets a six speed instead, then I welcome it, 'cause everyone knows that sure intake and exhaust are worth at most .5 sec off of a 1/4 mile time but gearing can shave away more then that no problem. And while you can always boost and add more power, a new transmission is almost never a realistic mod $$$ wise anyways.

 

That second pic is nice, more slanted lights, different front body, and more vertical spoiler instead of the evo7's slanted outward spoiler. Makes for a meaner looking car imo. Is that a pic of a real car or is it some kinda of rendering in photoshop?

 

that picture is photoshopped, unless its just one of those odd angles...but you can see the photoshop job if you shift your from the right side to the center.
