Looks awful, for the record. They've really overdone it.

Fsck, It looks a bit pre-riced....
Is the production version going to look like that? Or is it just the enraged Pufferfish edition?
I hear they are replacing the Evo's MIVEC 2.0L DOHC turbo Transverse mounted inline 4 with a MIVEC 2.0L DOHC turbo Transverse mounted inline 4.

I've read that setence at least three times and I still struggle to find the difference between the two engines... :confused:
Oh and the car is very ugly, but since when a Evo has been beautiful?

Well I might be strange but I find that saloon just gergous. By the time I trade my WRX in I will be seriously looking at one of these.

That's the design for the normal Evo.
I think it's gorgeous myself.

Not according to some sources.
Remember the Mitsubishi Evo X concept? Here's proof that the firm's designers are still working on the fine detail.
Caught during an open day at Mitsubishi's European Design Centre in Frankfurt and leaked on a Mitsubishi enthusiasts' web forum, this scale model shows where the Japanese manufacturer is going with the next generation of the Evo legend.
The model is clearly based on the Evo X, which first appeared at last year's Tokyo motor show. But its rear wing looks very much like standard World Rally Car specification, so this could be a design study of Mitsubishi's next rally car. The spoiler certainly looks larger than any aerodynamic aids seen on the test cars caught recently but given the Evo's rally-bred heritage, we wouldn't be surprised to see the road cars adopting the same

Since when did the Evo X have a roof scoop like that?

They're replacing the 4G63 with a DOHC turbo version of the 2.4l MIVEC 4cyl used in the Lancer and Outlander.

Well, it's interesting. I'm having a bit of a laugh imagining what the Evo X might say if it could talk with a gob like that.
Probably something about

What else do you know? I'd like to steal some ideas to give the 'Gong an edge in Formula SAE this upcoming season.

The Rally version will be much lower and incorperate a much more upright bumper to conform with Rally rules.
The roof scoop was scrapped awhile ago. The final design will still look exactly like that except for the scoop.

More revisons to the AWD system and upgrading to S-AYC. Track down a copy of the MOTOR issue the black EVO 9 and red Ralliart Colt on the cover, they drive a X mule that's got the new X drivetrain under a 9. And as for the Concept it's got a paddle shifter and they've turnbed the engine around

I hear that the engine might incorporate twin turbos. Can you imagine?
You would be able to hear that sweet swoosh miles away...*closes his eyes and daydreams*
