I was at the detroit auto show, I saw it. Pretty cool, it was the Star of the Mitsubishi area. It looks too much like a chicks car, and with 315 hp i would be scared to see some teenage girl driving that around trying to show off! Looks like it would appeal to the crowd of RSX or celica.

That would be me now in a death trap as you described. I dont have the 315 hp but the same engine putting out around 250.

Ya that car is pretty fugly.. but that engine is pretty!! That should've been the engine that would be put in the Evo's with all the gizmo's... it will never go in production.. it was just a concept-fun-type of car... as many people have said..

Looks like it belongs on a roller coaster track.

The Tarmac Spyder is a heavily modified version of the Evo VIII. The exterior was completely changed and modified as one can see from the pic. Mechanics wise, the Spyder remains relatively unchanged from the Evo VIII. This car has no chance of ever seeing production however...

Ummm. No. It's fugly. Looks like it'd float pretty well tho. Maybe a another potential xXx stunt would be appropriate.

BTW, (OT) anyone see all the great new CF stuff on Shaun's Evo? He posted some pix, here!

Only one word can describe the change...


SuWEET!

Yep...chick's car...but with that power, I'd drive it ANY day. I think it could look cool in black.

And stew....I hope that guy did that to his evo for function, because it isn't doing anything for the looks IMO.

It wouldn't beat the Evo...it would be heavier...plus it's an automatic...

Sort of a rehash overall. The CZ3 is more than likely the most viable candidate to replace the Evo (ala the 206 route).

Not only is it heavier but its a convertable. No ridgidity at all first turn and the Evo will blow by it, mitsu did itself a favor by putting a bullet in that thing.
