Those are sexy.

 

The Evo 6.5 (TME) had the following trim levels:
RHD - GSR and RS
LHD - RS2 and possibly RS

I think the RS2 model was the best compromise as it had the lightweight RS shell + ABS/AYC/Aircon/Power stuff from the GSR.
The RS2 only weighed 20kg more than the RS and that included the aircon, ABS, AYC which the RS didnt have.
RS weight was 1260kg
RS2 = 1280 kg
GSR = 1340 kg
It's similar to the "Urban Jungle" package.

The titanium/aluminum alloy turbo has a light turbine than the steel turbine and it allows the turbo to spin up quicker, with less turbo lag. You are not likely to notice it though.

I hope Mitsu would sell the MR in the US this year ASAP!

 

Wow, those are some nice desktops, now if only I had that in my grage too...lol. Good job Mitsu, now bring it to us americans please.

 

I read on some Ralliart UK material that the MR will form the basis of the next push for Mitsubishi on the Grp N class of the wrc.
This is the latest car that they are to homologate for the WRC in the showroom class.
They said that RHD delileries will be available from April, and LHD from July.
Given this, I'd be very suprised if the MR model does not make it here for the 2005 model year - (September ~ 04)
At last, I think that we'll get a full evo here, and not the watered down version that they are currently pedaling..........

 

Still just speculation though.....I would like Mitsubishi to figure out thier mapping mistakes on the 03's in this country before they bring new models on line....

 

MR writeup in local papers.

 

Got bored on the Internet at 2 in the morning and rembered I haven't been to Mitsubishi's Japanese web page in a while. I clicked on the EVO and got a happy surprise, a little movie on the EVO MR. And man! I've never seen a car attack a corner like this! ENJOY! Evolution 8 MR

 

I really wish I could read Japanese...

Porcupine Evo...

 

I wanna see this thing in black.

 

I want to know just how noticable the ACD and SAYC are.

 

Hm, not sure I like those roof thingies.. the aerofoils. kinda... cheesy lookin.

 

They are peculiar looking, but functional.

 

yuck, it's real player!! ahhhhh.. why can't they use something else? I refuse to install real player on my computer.

 

Same here. as well as quicktime junk..
"Real Alternative 1.20" and "QuickTime Alternative 1.30" are musts.
