Lil something Mike W from RRE chimed in saying..
The math does not add up between the price that they would need to charge to include all the HK$ stuff vs what people would actually pay vs the cost to warranty such a car vs their lame US dealer network vs what it would cost to CARB and Federal certify all the mods and tune. Will not happen here and seems like wild speculation even for countries with more relaxed emissions laws. They cant even figure out how to get their money together here in the US to put real seats in the normal 2015, and you think they would actually sell and people would buy this for what it would cost to run this through their normal sales channels? Some dealers are marking up the 2015 with Prancer seats, imagine the markup on top of the $70k retail price for this car... Pure mental masturbation I say. They stopped making EVOs in 2006. Time to get over it.

No GTR for me. I have kids, so 4 doors are a big win for me. Of similarly quick and good looking cars, very few compare in the winter months for function and fun... (ps I think the new Sub's are ugly).
I think my bolt on '14 GSR was a great value. The only thing of interest for me about the Final is curiosity. What parts/changes would/will they make to get that power and still feel it could be fully warrantied.

From this article it states We might get a 6-speed manual transmission!

That would be great if they did.. hopefully it'll be better built than the previous 6sp
There’s a contingent of EVO owners that’s not hell bent modifying the vehicle to match other manufacture’s 400HP monsters. I for one, didn’t acquire my EVO to smoke the STi, K24A swapped vehicles or the M3. Rather, wanted it for its incredible driving experience enhanced throughits original form….
I bought my '03 Evo new and built it up with engine/clutch/diff/suspension/brakes. Then I bought my '11 Evo MR new and enjoyed it absolutely stock with only tire and brake pad upgrades. Never had a single moment where I wanted to tweak it -- I did all that with the '03. Both were really fun cars, with very different personalities -- but both highly capable. If I wanted to go out and drive a mountain road at the limit, the '11 was the obvious choice -- in the '03, driving it at the limit on public roads would be crazy.

Very interesting question and something I'm quite curious about.
For all EVO X owners, with the price tag of $60K total, which would they opt with? Pick only one:
A. New modded EVO X
approximate mileage of 0 miles
OR
B. Used stock GTR
approximate mileage of 15-35K miles
Rational would be helpful to have additional understanding.
Thanks!

The evo X final concept producing almost 500 hp, WOW......it would be interesting if consumer demand exceeded Mitsubishi's sales expectations, perhaps it could keep the iconic Evolution model alive in this new form.

That's very true but in this case they are correct.
Would never be able to get this to meet any 
environmental regs. Nor would they be able to get anyone to pay the $60k + price tag.They couldn't even be bothered to put Recaro's in the 2015 do you really think this is going to happen?
