I know that Rhys Millen was driving the Evo VIIIs at the photo shoot. I believe these were for press photos or something of that nature... just a guess though.

I think broeli is right about the specs being finalized and as long as you can live without ACD/AYC, I think you'll be happy. I think the biggest problem will be that there are so few of them being produced I really want to know if the little things will be different... will there be ANY differences with the engine internals, etc. I doubt there will be, but you never know.

Everyone try to get some "leaked" specs. on the EVO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Couldn't get very close to the car. They kept doing drive-by's in front of Freemont. Camera man mounted to a chase car following. Here is what I could see. Certainly had the look of pics from the Vegas show. Same front end that sort of pointed with the triple diamonds front & centered, and the cooler down below. Had the larger spoiler, and could see the red Brembos through the wheels. As a drive by, not much other detail could be made out. I personally like the look and Silver looks cool.

 

What did the rims look like? How bout the spoiler, any carbon fiber that you could see? Did it say Evolution VIII on the back or just Evolution?

 

It was hard to get a look at the rims from our distance and with the car moving. The spoiler was definetly painted. No logos other than the logo on the deck lid and a smal logo in the corner, maybe a ralliart logo or something. Certainly not like the big LANCER that is plastered on the back of the current OZ. It was a night shot so lights were on and it had the killer lights. What do they call them?

 

HIDs?

 

Yes, Thank you I was drawing a blank

 

Thnx for the posts Luce, glad to hear about the HIDs coming and the Brembos too. Can't wait for some specs.

 

Could you tell if there were altezzas on the rear instead of normal tailights?

 

Stupid question, but what exactly would they look like? It was a little tough cause it was a night shoot, and they did not brake or signal. But the light lenses did not look like the current OZ lights. Part of the lens was white/clear.

 

It might look like what's on the Evo VII GT-A. Check it out here: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/E...llpaper2L.html

 

I gotta tell you, I think that is them or very similar!

 

BUMP, since themothership brought it up in another thread.

Nice find KK!
