X is Roman for ten. But we'd like to think it denotes and X rating--for the meanest, rawest Evo ever made. This future rally rocket was first previewed by the Concept X from last year's Tokyo auto show, and now a closer version is being shown here at Detroit. When the car goes on sale around this time next year, power will continue to come from a 2.0-liter turbo four, but output will push past the current Subaru WRX STI's 300-hp rating and a new, aluminum block will be used. Because it would be a shame not to use the new Outlander SUV's lovely magnesium-alloy paddle shifters, an automated manual transmission will be offered alongside a traditional 5-speed manual box. Naturally, the Evo will be driven by all four wheels, via a new S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system that Mitsubishi promises will rival Honda's SH-AWD in sophistication. The new system will feature active steering, active yaw control, and myriad electronic sensors. We hope S-AWC doesn't compromise the great steering possessed by Evos VIII and IX--after all, Mitsubishi promises this will be the "largest leap in overall capability between two generations of the Evolution."

It's looking better and better IMO

CHAOS · 01-08-2007, 11:15 AM

when the hell does it come out? i might have to jump ship for this one.

Evolved · 01-08-2007, 11:18 AM

Early 2008 I believe.

Honest_Bob · 01-08-2007, 11:39 AM

looks mean as ****!

sisforsurfing · 01-08-2007, 12:36 PM

'New aluminum block."
I wonder what, if anything, it will share with the 4G63. I guess now Mitsubishi guys will finally be playing catch up to Subaru in aftermarket R&D, should be interesting.

I dont know how I feel about the styling. I hate that wing, but the wheels are nice.

It's an all new engine, 4b11t.

shouldnt have anything in common with the current motor, however i believe it has ties to the new chrysler/mitsu/hyundai "world" 4 cylinders

Cutlass372 · 01-08-2007, 01:31 PM

metal-levon · 01-08-2007, 02:40 PM

5th pic is a regular lancer.

05OCsrt-4 · 01-08-2007, 02:49 PM

SlideWayzS13 · 01-08-2007, 02:56 PM

Ummmm....i am speechless. I don't love it but I don't hate it. Interior looks sick as hell along with breaks/suspension/wheels....Body is a ehhhhhhh idk i want to see one in person. I can't wait for the EVo XX

**TROLL** · 01-08-2007, 03:02 PM

this is still a prototype, correct? so we can expect to see a lot of changes in the production model?
i dont know how i feel about it. its weird looking (not unlike the other evos, or subarus for that matter), but i know that the performance of these cars always has me growing to love them.
performance overview sounds promising though...
