Yes that's what I mean.

 

Anyone familiar with SMG's know what kind of clutch life to expect? better, worse, the same?

 

THis car - fugly?! That car looks outright pissed off! IT's mean looking shell perfectly complements the mean driveline.

Sure, it needs to have some details worked, like the interior... but this is only a concept.
I drive subaru 99rs b/c it was the last awesome looking subaru model made , I never purchased the sti b/c I can't get passed the fugly exterior; even though I'd love have that driveline on my car and may just swap that in...

..unless mitsu releases this BAD-*** looking car soon.



PS. 2.0 L MIVEC turbocharged engine with flat torque curve and HP over 300, makes it even more appealing.

 

I made a few subtle changes here and there.
What do you guys think.

 

Not going to happen with a turbocharged 2.0L I4 that generates 300+ hp.

 

Actually it should give them time to release an Evo 9.5 version, something special to bid the CT9A and 4G63 a fond farewell. I'd actually be surprised if they didn't.

 

Too bad the interior is starting to look like a mustang

 

I dig it man... Can you make the rims a darker grey? and maybe smoke the heads?

Oh! and black out that gas cap.
Thanks!

 

People, people. That is a show car interior. The production interior will not look like that. That said, I don't think its bad as it is. There will be inevitable exterior nudges to comform to standards etc. Things like probably larger rear view mirrors, keyholes , light clusters will probably be changed a bit, etc.

And all the exterior photochops will be taken care of by the aftermarket Imagine all the bumpers, cool lips, bonnets, mirrors, performance, wheels that will be available. Jeez its staggering to think about it!! Hooray!!!!

 

yikes time to save up

 

Nice I will buy one and turn my 05 evo VIII into a rally car

 

I still wish the mouth wouldn't be so big. Reminds me of a Dodge.




A more tapered hood that would reduce the opening would be nice.

 

Eckstant
Here you go, I went darker with the rims and the headlights, I left the gas cap in but darkened it a little to match the wheels, hope you guys like it.

 

It looks all right in black, but I would not want it if it comes with the clutchless manumatic paddle shift

 

It's suprising to me how many people are worried about a clutchless gearbox. I'm guessing most people saying they hate the idea have never driven the M3 with SMG. My dad used to have one and it was alot of fun to drive. The car could easily chirp the tires going into 3rd bone stock.

My only complaint was it really sucked when you would put into auto mode, but who would want to do that anyway. It's strange though I found myself using the lever to change gears more than the paddles. I just hope they dont mount the paddles to the steering wheel because they can become tricky to find when taking corners.
