2007 EVO X PREVIEWED!
Mitsubishi are giving the new North American Lancer and the Prototype X concept their world premieres at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. In preparation for the new U.S. Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions regulations, Mitsu has also announced a project to develop a next generation diesel engine, to be launched in the new Lancer in 2010.
The Prototype X remains a design study for the new Lancer Evolution due to be launched in 2007, but the car is said to be much closer to the production ready version than previous concepts. Mechanically, in addition to the Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) AWD, the concept features a newly-developed aluminum block MIVEC turbo engine mated to a high performance six-speed automated manual transmission. Aluminum body panels were used to reduce weight.
The production ready version of the Lancer sedan was also revealed, showing a car that has grown in dimensions over the current model, built around the same platform used in the Outlander SUV. Power comes from an aluminum block 2.0L four-cylinder MIVEC engine producing 152hp mated to a CVT with six-speed Sportronic gear shifting.

This car is intended to have some good power in it, why do they stick with the front wheel layout? I hate front wheel drive cars.

LOL at Designer1,
Since when was the EVO front-wheel-drive?
All-wheel-drive. Ring any bells?

And to cover the regular version's FWD platform, that is a very wise choice as it keeps the interior room and efficiency high, also it is cheaper so customers pay less. But you were talking about the EVO.

I thought Mitsubishi would wimp out on the actual car, but it's pretty close to the concept. Moving on to another subject, did anyone notice the Honda Accord Coupe concept in the sidebar? Wow!!! If you haven't seen it, go back to the photo page, and check out the cars in the sidebar. The Lexus looks hot too.

Do you really need them? You know it'll be the fastest car for the money.

Same 2.0L engine with more power, around 320??? Yet we'll weight increase so it'll probably be just a little faster than the current car. S4 is right you can't go faster for the money.

You know, i just realized that the window CUT pattern and front mirror assembly, as well as the chrome strip that goes under the windows looks identical to the W203 C-class.. hmmm

That's hardly "copying". A chrome strip under the window? Give me a break!
