Well it should be an MR because the roof has the creases which signifies the aluminum roof. As for the black strip, I have no idea. Maybe that's the extra antenna holds for the XM satellite radio. My reception sux so having 10 antennas for it would be good. The non colored door handles and mirrors usually signify RS but again, i'm not sure. An Evo MR RS?

They're not antenna's, it's something Mitsubishi made it's supposed to help with downforce by creating like little vortex's or some ****. btw those rear lights look pretty good white... in the left mirror it looks like someones sitting on the left hand side. but it's obvious the person on the right is driving.

Yeah, i just did a babelfish translate. It's a dealer option. It reduces drag over the rear window and increases the amount of air going over the rear wing to create even more downforce.

This is an MR for sure. If you look closely, you can see the little MR badge there and the MR is also offered in white so yeah, that's an MR for sure, but the non-body colored door handles kinda of stump me, not to mention the fact that it's being driven on the left hand side, that's also toying with my mind. Another MR give away is the black wing and the BBS wheels it's sporting on it.

Well the things on the back of the roof are most likely sensors for measuring aero flow over the roof. Granted this car is RHD, but something strikes me as odd. You know how the Evo8 is just badged as an Evolution in the U.S., well look at that badge. It says EvolutionMR, and theres no 8. Perhaps this is a test mule for an American version? On the other hand, companies usually dont badge their test mules, its counterproductive. So who knows. Good pic, either way.

That is just a aerodynamic piece made of either fiber glass or ABS plastic. I've seen this on the HKS EVO MR (Fake MR, not alumin roof) in Tokyo Auto Salon 04. It looks pretty ugly too (IMO).

Anyway, here is the picture of it. You can see more pics of Auto Salon from the link below!

The MR is available as an RS. Here's the info: Evo MR . The thing on the roof is a vortex generator. It's described in the exterior section.
