Lancer Evolution X News, Info, Pics, etc... | [ALL THREADS MERGED]
I think it coul have been a lot better! It would irritate me that it looks just like a regular lancer. People that see if would think its just a lancer. they should have done different body features than the regular lancer like the VIII/IX IMO.

well look at it from a different perspective... people will see u as a lancer who carries like about 150ish HP when in reality you would be a Evo X with twice as much! its like a coral snake and that fake coral snake... they both look alike but only one has the killer bite!! like a stonefish ready to strike!
Not Every IS what they SEEM!!!
evo X will teach people that lesson! but same thing happens with the WRX and the STi... i get them confused at moment... but its kinda cool in my opinion!

I have a friend that works at Realtime. He showed me around the shop and I got to see the owner's evo 6 rs2 in white with 3000 km. on it. The thing was gorgeous. I do agree it is the best looking version with a more nimble platform, but the new one has good looks as well. The new X is just a more refined sports sedan than race car though. The old school ones were all go.

Mitsubishi EVO X Real World Photos
We have been drooling over the Mitsubishi EVO X in its various concept incarnations over the past few years. With the EVO X final production version photos officially released this past April, prototype testing of the EVO X is not exactly spicy spy news anymore. However, not all spy news has to be breaking.
Surely, the press photos show us how the car looks like with a blank white background (as seen in the photos in the link above) or highly airbrushed scenery, but they don't always give a contextual sense of the car. So here they are for the hardcore EVO fans, photos of a finished EVO X prototype at the Nürburgring giving us a first look at the car in the "real world" without camouflage.
Expected to be showrooms early 2008 as a 2009 model, the EVO X will be available with a five-speed manual gearbox or optional automated 6-speed manual transmission. Bosses in Europe are expecting a massive 80 percent of all EVO X models to be ordered with the automated paddleshift gearbox, which operates in three modes. Although drivers always have manual control, they can choose from Normal, Sport and the most serious SuperSport settings. The final mode has been designed for use on track, allowing changes to higher gears only when they are absolutely necessary to keep the revs near peak power at all times. Standard EVO X models will be more expensive than the outgoing IX, with entry-level 300bhp variants costing more than 42,000 Euros.

GnusmaS, nice find. I was about to write this thread off as yet another repost, old news garbage, but you have found something new and noteworthy ... That car doesn't look bad.
