Could this be true?
Very looking forward to this “Special Action Model” for US.

Are they really calling it the "Special Action Model"?

Thats about the lamest name imaginable.

What happened to FQ?

IMO, FQ is one of the best monikers to date.

Europe gets FQ, we get Special action. weak

Ive got a special action for you Mitsu -

Dumb *** name **** aside, Im super excited about this possibility. Fingers Crossed!

I wonder how much extra power will be added? And, what other "performance improvements" will there be? Does that mean a better suspension or brakes? Honestly, all Evos should have extra power and performance improvements to offset the loss of the Recaro seats.

I'd be happy with 6 speed manual, bilsteins, BBS, 340hp priced at around 35k.

2015 Lancer models will get a price cut in Australia.
Wonder price for US models will get reduced?

If they really wanted to make a splash, they'd put that upgraded MHI turbo in it from the factory.

Will be interesting to see how this compares to the 311RS in price/performance.

Still, I would recommend anyone in the market for a new evo wait until the specs/pricing on the XI (or whatever they end up calling it) gets announced.

Evolution X GTS. Can't let Porsche have all the fun with GTS models.

Maybe if it was north of 350hp and had the option for the dual-clutch transmission for under $40k, it would be considerable.
