Oldies but goodies - from the Lancer 2000 Turbo to the Evo IX.

 

^Great pic!

Those are Evolutions. Im glad to see they excluded the Hyundai X.

 

+1

It's sad they ditched the 4G63 for something mediocre at best in the X. 4G63 is a proven 16 year old motor... we will just ignore the few years that crankwalked

 

Not this again

 

You're wrong about the age, its actually 32year old(Lancer EX Turbo 1980)

 

The very first generation of Lancer 1970. It was very successful and great car, but it was not available until 1980. 32years for stock car but 42 year of evolution!!!

 

Mitsubishi is sure starving it's fans. Not even an Evo teaser yet :-(

 

Thanks for correcting me. I had no clue, but that makes the death of it even more tragic.

 

First Evo XI spy shoot!!!! LMAO

 

This made my wine go down the wrong pipe, coughing ensues

 

ah nice! I see Roman Pierce added another pony in his stable to accompany the "covertable one" he chose from earlier. Should've seen this comin.

 

Considering they just revised development of the car after considering scrapping it, I'm glad to see it back on the table. I don't much care for the new Outlander grille, nor those renderings that look like the Galant concept that was never to be. They just announced they are bringing the Mirage to the States. Hope it is a rip roaring success like it is in other parts of the world to they can justify spending heavy development dollars on the next Evo.

 

They better do something. Look at these export numbers!

Export shipments from Japan
Total exports from Japan of 24,277 units were 25.1 percent down on November 2011, marking the sixth consecutive monthly year-on-year fall since May this year. Exports to Asia at 701 units were 59.9 percent down year on year. Exports to North America at 3,225 units were 66.3 percent down over November last year. Exports to Europe at 10,914 units were 4.6 percent down year on year.

 

No doubt some form of this technology will be in the XI.

Twin Motor 4WD
Leveraging its proven expertise in 4WD control technology, MMC has developed a new Twin Motor 4WD system that delivers power independently to the front wheels (from the front motor and/or engine) and rear wheels (from the rear motor). The use of motors and absence of mechanical connections such as a propeller shaft mean the Twin Motor 4WD delivers better response and finer control than conventional 4WD systems and reduces friction loss.
Twin Motor 4WD is coupled with MMC's S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamics control system, which combines front- and rear-wheel drive control and left and right wheel brake control to provide consistent handling and unbeatable stability on the road. Two modes are offered, selectable at the flick of a switch: Normal Mode for ordinary conditions and Lock Mode for enhanced all-terrain performance.

 

I never purchased an Evo X because they never made a 6 speed manual MR.

I like the Bilistein's ride better and I've own a 03,05, and 06 and it's sad to see the best Evo being the TME 6.5. and the Evo IX running 2nd.
