Mitsubishi Lancer & EVO 10 ...

TCC Spy Shots ...
TCC's spies have caught Mitsubishi engineers testing a mule for the next-generation Lancer - the car that will spawn the eagerly anticipated EVO X. The bulging front fenders on this prototype give away the fact that this seemingly ordinary Lancer has been heavily reworked to squeeze a new platform beneath its skin.


This mule uses a combination of body panels from the Lancer line. The front fascia is largely from the standard Lancer, with wheel-well flares added to accommodate a wider front track. The prototype uses the rear end, rear fenders, and rear doors of the Lancer Evolution, whose increased width makes the additional flare at the rear unnecessary.


This indicates that even the most humble Lancer models will probably get more EVO traits mixed into the final product, which should improve the lineup from top to bottom. This prototype has much of the new car's interior so that climate-control performance can be accurately gauged in the 120-degree desert sun.

The prototype's ride height has been severely altered by heavy loads, making for a truly punishing test to pave the way for a full-fledged, final-bodied prototype sometime in the near future.

The next EVO, with more than 300 hp, is expected to be shown at this fall's Tokyo Motor Show. A U.S. launch is on its docket for 2006.

EVO 10 ...

It's a perfect 10 for Mitsubishi. Auto Express can exclusively reveal the Evo X ahead of its debut at October's Tokyo Motor Show. And to prepare the world for the rally bred saloon, Mitsubishi will unveil a concept version of the standard Lancer at next month's Frankfurt expo.

Designers have exposed their plans and released an official picture of the new four-door (second image). But with the ninth incarnation of the Evolution only recently launched, it's a surprise details of its successor are being revealed now.
With sleek, aggressive styling, the next-generation Lancer promises to be a genuinely attractive saloon. But the four-door will only be sold here in hot Evo X form. Cheaper variants are likely in five-door and estate guises, with all versions going on sale in the UK in mid-2007.

The thrilling newcomer promises to represent a big step forward in design and engineering quality. With the benefit of a new platform, the Evo X will deliver a more extreme driving experience than its predecessors, and sharper performance. The firm is already working on an advanced all-wheel-drive transmission which it hopes will better anything future Subaru Imprezas can offer.

Under the bonnet is a fresh 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which will be turbocharged to give a minimum of 320bhp. Flagship machines are expected to boast more than 400bhp, surpassing even the hardest-tuned editions of the Evo IX.

the normal lancer front with evo backside combo looks better than the red colour proto car.

 

[sakuraguy]

y the car so low at the back .. got weapons ar?.... ;)

 

[munpeng]

Maybe not weapons, that 2 dudes were caught trying to dump 3 dead bodies, but photographer made that up to earn some cash, so we are all conned over here, haha.


Don't shoot me, that's just a cold joke, lol.

 

[Fluffy]

er.not wat i expected.

 

[gloss]

whole car design and balance looks very da weird..
hope its not the ultimate evo 10 at the end of the day..

 

[Fluffy]

if i may say it..its kinda horrible.*oops*.

 

[prodigy]

As much as they tweak the engine and the handling of the car, the interior styling still sux. It looks so 70's. No doubt that pure car enthusiast won't give much damn about interior styling but Mitsubishi should do something about it.

its look like a normal lancer to me..with a minor mod of exterior...even use a normal seat..not recaro??? :Not_Impressed: or maybe im wrong? :embaressed_smile:

 

[edwin_lcw]

why both pic also diff one ?

 

[DarkChild]

I don't think that's the test mule. It's just some one who's converting his lancer to look like an evo. I think someone clarified it in another forum...

 

[imoloq]

DarkChild, can post the link of the other forum to clarify this?

If someone modded his Lancer to look like an Evo, that someone did a terrible job.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

the first 2 pictures looks like the normal 1.6L lancer ler.... i dont think it's the evo 10....

i support if the 3rd picture is the proper evo 10...

 

[razr_sped]

the first 2 pics is more like the lancer glx
or i think what dey call lancer global in taiwan...
as they look quite similar to it instead of an evo

 

[meng1]

for me,whatever it is lancer glx or evo, the "look" of the car still weird..like cacat or "terlebih "something...lol..hehe..

 

[G161Z OHV©]

It even hav a plate number..

 

[ehaab]

WTF is that..the first 2 pics are definetely The Current Lancer [NOT EVO] available here in Msia...
The evo 10 concept pics were posted some 5 Months ago..just use the search button...

 

[imoloq]

Looks very different from the current Evo lineup.
