This information was given in a statement earlier today by Daniel P. Kuhnert (Mitsubishi of North America Marketing President)

Update: Mitsubishi has announced official upgrades and pricing for its 2011 Lancer Ralliart turbocharged AWD sedan. The 2011 Lancer Ralliart will come with a 242hp (258 lb-ft of torque) turbocharged four-cylinder - up 5 horsepower from the 2010 version of the same 4B11 engine. The 2011 model will also have an optional 5 speed manual transmission as well as a TC-SST dual-clutch gearbox. Pricing for the manual transmission will start at $25,190, and the dual-clutch version will start at $26,590.

According to Mitsubishi the new 2011 Lancer Ralliart will also be 90 lbs lighter than the outgoing 2010 model. The biggest change from 2010 to 2011 will be better wheels and tires. The new Ralliart will come standard with 18 x 8.5-inch Enkei wheels (same as in the Evo GSR) that will carry 245/40R18 Yokohama ADVAN asymmetrical performance tires, a change from the mild 215mm Yokohama tires of the previous model year. The 2011 Ralliart will also gain slightly larger fenders in order to house the new bigger wheels and tires.

Mitsubishi says that the new Ralliart will have a .5 second quicker 0-60 time, giving the car a 0-60 in 5.4 seconds (2010 model did a 0-60 in 5.9 seconds). Considering that the $34,990 rally bred Lancer Evolution GSR does a 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, the new Ralliart looks pretty impressive.

 

sorry for repost.....i just saw it was up before and people are saying it isnt true???


i got this from Roadandtrack.com

 

Well, the original post on R&T was back in April of 2009:

Not to say it's not valid, but it's old as all hell, evidently.

 

By the way the WRX has went, I can see this happening with the wide body, and wheels. It's just in no way confirmed at all.

 

Still just a tad bit expensive compared to what you can pick up a GSR for when they had the big incentives.

 

Any dealers get REAL info about the 2011 RA?

 

the only thing we know for sure is that it's still slow and overpriced. nothing else has been confirmed thus far, but we are working hard to bring you more bad news as soon as we get it.

 

is there still no news on the '11 ralliart?

 

Mitsu Canada hasn`t given out any info to us just yet about 2011 Ralliarts, When Its disclosed i`ll post it up. Only think we know for sure is 2011 GTS is Discontinued and Lancer GT will Return.
