All EVO 10 threads should be deleted until the official release of the 10. This is a drama filled thread full of rumors and **** poor information that NOT A SINGLE SOUL has a clue about.

 

Think of it as the "recycle bin" on your computer screen. As mentioned above, this thread is full of BS. Aside from the few photos, there's no information on the X.

 

Come again? It says 'Mitsubishi'? Like I stated before it says 'Brembo'. I wasn't making an assumption, I was making a guarantee.

Lancer Concept X shows new direction
Lancer Concept X: new look to integrated into compact car range.

22 September 2006

STRIP away the wings and spoilers, then swap the oversized alloys for regular road wheels, and this is the next Mitsubishi Lancer.

The radical look of the Concept X is going to be carried right through the new compact car, which will be sold as a sedan, hatchback and wagon in Australia from the back end of next year.

The Concept X was always expected to be morphed into the next-generation Evo X road rocket, but Mitsubishi Motors has decided to go all the way with a car which promises to be one of the most aggressive looking newcomers in the small-car class.

It has also dropped a second hint with its Sportback concept, which was shown at Frankfurt last year and previews the look of the Lancer hatch.

Test and development work is into the final stages in Japan but Mitsubishi is still keeping quiet on final details, although the local brand of the business cannot wait to get the all-new Lancers into showrooms.

"They cannot get here fast enough," the spokesman for Mitsubishi Motors Australia, Kevin Taylor, says.

"The mainstream cars come in the third quarter of next year.

"And the performance variants come sometime in the first six months of 2008.

"What is coming out is the sedan first-up, then the performance variants. And that is Evo and a Ralliart version, which will be more like a WRX. The hatch will be in the last part of 2008."

The Lancer is now one of the oldest cars in the small-car class, although it is priced from the $19,990 benchmark. The CG Lancer hit the road in 2000 and the body got a mild makeover to the current CH model two years ago.

"We need the new car fairly badly. That small car category is a very quickly growing segment and the existing Lancer has been around for a while now," Taylor says. "We'll get a fresh look with new engines in a market sector that is burgeoning."

He says Mitsubishi is on track with the Lancer program but it has been shuffled down the list to clear space for other important newcomers.

"It was a matter of doing what we could. There is a lot of work on the product front," he says. "From our point of view its a matter of where we start. The old Triton was much older than Lancer.

"Our core products are Triton, Pajero and Lancer. We'll get two of them this year, Triton and Pajero, and one from next year.

"It's been a big year, but none of them can come quickly enough."

From some russian site:

 

Thanks FLK. I think the site was down. ...oh and nice pics!!!

 

Yeah, this thread is rediculous. There is no way I'm going to sift through 300+ pages of BS just to try to find some info nobody has.

All I can say is that the wait is much too long. They shouldn't have put out a concept pic of this car if we aren't going to see it for another year and a half...all it does is stack up false info and rumors about the car. That is all

 

Mitsubishi has updated there website

I stumbled across this on the net... Not a whole lot of info, but it is on the UK mitsubishi site, so it has to be legit. I'm sure ours will be much more watered-down, but it's kinda cool to see the new features that the car "should" possess.

Mitsubishi just announced that the prototype version of the Evolution X will make its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January. Not to be confused with the Concept-X concept car first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005, this is expected to be a near-production version of this hotly anticipated new Evo. The tenth edition of the Lancer Evolution may actually drop the Lancer part of its name by the time it reaches showrooms next year as a 2008 model.

Based on the same GS platform used in the Dodge Caliber, it will be a much larger sedan than the current Lancer it's replacing. With the Caliber SRT-4 packing 300 hp, the newest rally rocket from Mitsu will hopefully have at least that much running through its rumored Audi-like twin-clutch sequential 6-speed gearbox. Hopefully the rumors suggesting that it will be lighter than the current Lancer Evolution are true as well.

The Evo X will also feature a completely redesigned chassis and computer system, boasting a new all-wheel-drive system that will control braking, throttle, and suspension adjustment in real-time. Called S-AWC, or Super All Wheel control, it will work simultaneously with the Active Center Differential. The S-AWC uses Torque vectoring to send different amounts of torque to any wheel at any given time.

 

Wow. Looks like I'm going to Detroit in January. (I have a brother there anyway.)

So, does this increase the likelihood that the Evo X will really be available in late spring? In time for most of the autocross season, I hope!

 

Hey thanks for posting. I'm liking what the brochure says.
