Read this on a post they made on Instagram. Can anyone confirm this? Or have you heard anything yourselves?

It looks nice, but not worth the hype.
I'd call big something like new galant, new eclipse, evo news, but not getting safety car on one of numerous races(even tho Pikes are nice one).
I really want for Mitsubishi to do some radical instead of introducing some SOHC engines and ****load of crap that doesn't make sense at all.

On their place I'd really think of introducing eK model to EU market, Suzuki had a nice success with Wagon-R, why can't Mitsubishi try that. They are really conservative in times when being something like that, takes a huge toll, heck Mercedes just introduces one model after another with Renault diesel, they don't even care anymore. But I guess Mitsubishi thinks its "rad" to have a safety car...

Its Over.. As I I read this today..

After launching 10 generations, Mitsubishi finally decides to put Evo X to rest

Write a review | June 19, 2013 | Article by Ayan Sengupta

You heard it right. One of the most favorite sport car series, Lancer Evolution, is going to end. Mitsubishi, so far has launched 10 generations of Lancer Evolution. Initially decided to be sold only in Japan, this car made record sales in every international market. With each generation the car got better and still better. The latest of the series is Evo X (X is Roman number for 10). Mitsubishi has decided that now, no cars will be launched by it, under the tag of “Evo”. The cars coming ahead will be hybrids of the present Lancer.

Mitsubishi came to existence in the year 1870. Presently, it is a group of several Japanese companies which have discrete business to carry. The logo of Mitsubishi, which is three red rhombus, literally means “Three Diamonds”. It began initially as a shipping firm and now after more than 100 years, it is active in an array of professional fields including shipping, mining, electronics, automotives, etc. All these companies linked together, and involved with different areas of specialization, has given Mitsubishi a world wide area of market. The industries meet once every month to discuss new proposals and analyze the monthly performance.

Mitsubishi first launched Evolution Lancer in the year 1992. It was termed as Evo and with each generation more sophisticated versions entered the market. It was a sports car that had to conquer the Japanese market. But in the year 1998, it got an entry into the UK market through some fruitful dealership. Looking at the success it got there, Mitsubishi started designing market specific Evo cars. Each model had the 4- wheel drive and a turbo charged two liter engine.


The tenth generation Evo X was launched in the domestic market in 2007 and in the year 2008 it reached USA, Canada and UK. It had brilliant framework with all aluminium

body. The wheels were made of alloy with a diameter of 16 inches. Outmost care was taken regarding the driver’s and passenger’s safety. There is a six transmission, dual clutch gear. Though brilliant in every way and with a huge market, Mitsubishi has announced termination of the Evo series.

Mitsubishi now plans to work on cars with fully electric motor or at least hybrids. It will be launching 8 of such cars by 2015. It plans to make a sports car that goes one step ahead of the outstanding Evolution series.

The only source on that news is from an indian car site, I am not sure if it's credible.

I sure hope the evolution is not ending.


This is what Mitsubishi have on facebook:

Mitsubishi Motors has been improving the Lancer Evolution through the years as its highest-performing sports model. However, as market needs change and requirements for environmental performance change, Mitsubishi Motors feels it is necessary to consider looking at different ways to improve it. If, how, and when any new improvements may or may not happen is as yet undecided. Thanks!

^1 site. How that big of a deal for the car industry not make a bigger announcement or an official announcement elsewhere?

I don't believe it until more sources come to light.
