these pics are definitely not the new evo... im pretty sure the new platfrom is also dual exhaust

 

Yeah, well anyway it seems logical that in their effort to bring order to chaos, Mitsubishi will try and make sens of trim levels throughout the brand... DE, ES, GS, GT, GTS, RalliArt and EVO* would be the same type of trim level for all models.


* I think Evolution is used for other models in other markets... I think one of their light truck has an EVO trim level... maybe I'm mistaken.

Who said they where? I thought it was clear to everyone that it is the new base model Lancer...


The new EVO will be dual exhaust, retains Brembo brakes and the likes... as seen in spyshots from Europe (when they tested the new tranny). The general shape of the car is very close to the base model though... so the body kit, front fascia and the likes will probably be what sets it appart from the rest of the lancer line-up...


I identified the interesting stuff for you guys...





Unless this is the new RalliArt of course...

i only read the first page or so... didnt want to go thru 20

 

They did do a Pajero (Montero) Evolution. It was powered by a N/A 3.5L DOHC MIVEC V6.

 

There's too much stuff in that brain of yours... you know that?

if u look at the blue pic of the 'lancer' i think there is a hit of cooler piping towards the bottom right (your right while looking at the pic).
and also does n e one know if the fog lights will retain on the cars when they come to aus!?!?

 

I thought it was only rumored that the Ralliart trim would be turbocharged?!? Is it written somewhere i missed that it will be?!

 

GP is one of the few members on EvoM that knows his stuff,
I don't know about the fogs being on the AUS version, but that's no FMIC, just a clean looking radiator...

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but if the Evo and RA use the same engine, then I'd assume that both would have the IC in the same location? If they do a top mount, then the hood would have to do a scoop via STI or the cowl induction via MazdaSpeed3.

I'm going to make another assumption that the Evo HAS to have a front IC just out of tradition and expected performance. I suppose the RA could be diff, but I would think Mitsu would save a little cash in making them as similar as possible.

Someone asked about the RA being turbo'd for sure... well if the 240hp numbers are correct, there's no other way to make that kind of power out of a reliable and affordable 2.0L engine.

 

i'll believe it when i see it (in regards to a turbocharged or AWD ralliart)

 

well who said the ralliart is going to be IC, this isnt on fact im just proposing this but what if the ralliart is just a nonintercooled turbo version of the lancer...

 

Doubt the new Ralliart or Evo will have a top mount IC. It is easier to use a top mount IC on a boxer engine than on a straight 4 configuration.

I don't think Mitsu would come out with a non-IC setup...you may be right, but if I were to guess, I would think that the new RA would have a smaller IC and turbo than the EvoX, along with being de-tuned.

 

hopefully it has just a smaller IC and the same turbo, but detuned :P

Also... www.lancerproject.com for a live unveiling broadcast. Most of us have seen the new 08 lancer, but only a few of us have seen the Concept X which will be shown as well.

EDIT: Looks like the WORKS pics won't hyperlink correct, so ill just leave the link and you can put it in your browser address. Oh yeah, thought I might add these since I been hit with a few PM's of what the Concept X might look like in full glory, so enjoy...

P.S. EvoM.net and or MMC/MMNA if im in the wrong for posting these pics early, let me know and I will take them down.
