Is the rumor true that the X may be coming out mid 2007?

 

"Did I read this article wrong or something? It claims the X will be out in early 2007! Ill wait instead of an IX then.

What Edmunds.com Says:It is already the best car in its segment, let's hope Mitsubishi leaves it that way.

What We Know: The 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X will be an all-new feature vehicle when it appears in early 2007. While the Lancer Evolution IX received a face-lift and some other minor changes when it went on sale this year, the Evo X will more or less be rebuilt from the ground up on a brand-new platform which it will share with the next-generation versions of the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Caliber, and even the Mitsubishi Outlander SUV. In addition to the new sheet metal on the outside, which is believed to greatly reduce the vehicle's weight, the 2007 Evo will get more power as well. Underneath the hood, the 2007 Lancer Evolution X will feature a slightly more powerful version of its turbocharged MIVEC 2.0-liter four-cylinder, with horsepower boosted past the 300 mark. This engine will be paired with a clutchless six-speed transmission that can be shifted manually via steering-wheel-mounted paddles.

rumor..... is it true ?


In a shock announcement, Mitsubishi Motors Japan released the concept
and specs of the new Evolution X. The surprise occurred due to the
fact that the current model (IX) has only just started production in
the past few weeks. The most perplexing notion is the release date of
the new Evo.

"We are so excited about this new car," announced Yushimo Katisho the
market manager for Ralliart. "We couldn't keep it under wraps. It will
be a huge leader in the market and should prove to be dominant in the
WRC stage.

"The reality of it," Katisho continued. "Is that we have two teams
running development work on the evolution range. The team on the IX
really were just creating a face-lift of the VIII while our top
engineers have been working tirelessly on the new X."

So what is so good about the new Evo. For starters the platform is
completely new, based somewhere between the CE lancer, Cedia design
and the new CZ Tarmac. It promises to be smaller and lighter than the
current IX allowing for gains to be made in ridgity and cornering.

The engine powerhouse is the first step away from the conventional
4G63 long motor design that served for so long. Keeping the short
motor design and platform Ralliart have gone into development with HKS
and Greddy to create an amazing twin turbo system that will rock the
turbo charged world's foundations.

"With this new setup we are able to create peak torque at 2200rpm and
hold that torque to 6900rpm and therefore extend that rally sweet
spot. The most amazing development is the end of twin turbo gap and
lag. This is like driving with a monster single turbo with low down
mombo."

The 4G63 is boosted now with full and complete Mivec and extra
capacity going to 2.5 litres which promises to deliver copious amounts
of power all the way to the new 8700rpm redline. This being the need
created for the new turbo system.

The drive line moves back to the proven 5 speed system for strength to
cope with the new found power. The ACD gets more looks at with an
extra mode - AutoX - for those tighter and twistier situations. The
SAYC is further improved to carry 50% more torque from wheel to wheel
and for the first time it is introduced on the front end of the car.

The brakes also get their first upgrade in years. Brembo is left
behind and ALCON come to the party. The front brakes now support 6 pot
caliper strength while the rears support 4 pot stopping power. The
rotors are not left behind with ALCON curve slots as standard.

This is BS info, a 4 cylinder with 2.5L and a twin turbo setup? Lol... there is no way.

 

thats bs, isnt rally specs sposud to be 2litre?!?!, and wasnt the engine going to be brand new, like a 4d or 4b or somthing, moving away from the 4g series
!?!?
but twin turbs would be nice

 

those specs are so old and inaccurate its ridiculous, mitsu has stated the engine wont be 4G63 and plus that post was from 2005...jeez i mean come on things have definitely changed over the past year and so

specs are bogus, i wouldnt rely on them for anything

 

Yeah honestly, that email is from 2005. Its nearly 2007

 

so does anybody got some new info about the engine then beside 2.0l cause i really wish they can make to 2.5l = the STI 2.5l

 

since it was made in conjunction with mitsubishi, i don't see why the x won't get it as well

I have heard conflicting reports about the Acura RDX's turbo. One said it was devloped in conjuction with Mitsubishi Heavy and the other with Aisin.

Either way, the best turbo they make is going to be on the Evo X and not anybody else's car.
