Evo X!!!

[2ndclasscitizen]

I also heard that the next Evo will be based on the Colt.. any confirmation?

I've heard that Mitsu is planning to use the Colt for its WRC instead of the Lancer, and also that Mitsu has been planning a Colt Evo, with a sub 2lt turbo and AWD

wow very impressive

[Cadillac Imaj]

it is called the Concept X not Evo X!

but everybody know that it's about to be new lancer evo

[megotmea7]

its automatic....

[Merrill]

EWW…I dont like it

[Cotterik]

dont expect the evo X to look too much like that. Almost every evo so far has been an 'evolution' of its previous brother. The VII into the VIII, the VIII into the IX etc.. This doesnt look like any of them. Sure its nice but it doesnt say EVO to me atall. It is a concept after all. Watch this space.

Whats so ugly about it? [second post YAY]

yes but thats been because they've been based on the base lancer, which has hardly changed. The talk has been of an Evo thats not based on the Lancer, but even if its still based on the lancer, there may be a new lancer on the horizon that looks something like this.

And this mightn't be auto, it could have a sequential box, which could be good, just as long as they still offer a manual

I was talking to my bro about this today (owns an Evo 2 and is a Evo nut case) and he reckons the next Evo also will not be 4G63 powered so the sub-2lt makes sense.

Big changes in Mitsu land, me thinks...

[P4g4nite]

The 4g63 is more than 15 years old now, but they only just MIVEC'd it. I can't see it being binned just yet, it's too damn good.
(Perhaps it'll be cast from aluminium next and put in something else.)
If Mitsu are stepping down the capacity of the Evo motor that means that the chassis is set to be a whole lot smaller, which is a good move, better to have less weight than more power.
The WRX is it's
only real rival and their chassis are becoming increasingly designed for performance and dynamics while Evo engineers have to make do with an econo-box, so a major chassis change was inevitable I guess.

This concept looks nowhere near ready, I hate the ricey-ness but i like the wide stance and blunt nose.

no it hasnt. The new Evo IX came out AFTER the new lancer and it looks nothing like it. The evo has now become a design of its own and isnt directly related to the original lancer atall especially with the front of the car. But yes there may be a lancer that will look like this. But if you ask me that looks too much like the galant.
