The front end reminds me of the Audi TT. Except someone very fat has sat on it and squished the headlights out of shape.

Flat bottomed steering wheel reminds me of Audi TT also.

More similarities. Both have 2 litre turbo engines. Both have all wheel drive. Both have weight saving aluminium components. Both have histories forged in the battlefields of the world's toughest rally circuits. And both will turn heads everywhere they go.

There is a difference though. The Audi TT looks like a supermodel, whereas the Evo X looks like skanky trailer trash ho. But while the supermodel might be good at impressing crowds with a slow, stylish walk, I think it's the skank who holds the depth of talant here. Life in the dirt has given the skank skills the supermodel will never know.

Given the choice though, I just couldn't pass up a night with a supermodel, no matter how talanted the skank is.

nice comparison RIZZA...never though there were looking at audi that much.........

found a bit more info on the new evo...aperently gone is the current 2 liter donk....that was there in many incarnations starting with i think the VR4...right up to evo9... have a look,,,

http://www.autocarmag.com/News_Article.asp?NA_ID=217168

just out of interest, found this next car...suppose to be a new VW model...have they taken hints from audi or mitsubishi

FRONT view anyway.......

:D

http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=222019

although it actually does share the plat form with audi...

IMHO No way is that going to be the new Evo...

Looks all wrong, with no real carry-over from the previous models.

And it says concept on the rear, so its probably just a concept car.

And you would think that they would have release the newest Evo in Japan before showing at some skank-arse Mod show in wherever the hell the photos are taken, looks like downtown LA.

looks like a mazda 6 with headlights that are a cross between s15 and vy hsv lights, a ferrari enzo crossed with a shark nose and an interior from what the people in 1950 thought the cars from the year 2000 would have.

SUPER MEGA FUGLY!...I can already hear MAZDA screaming out to me!!

lol thats the concept x

the pics are real as this cars been to many motorshows around the world over the past 6 months

that isnt the evo x as far as ive read, but the evo x will b based on that chassis

"Sharing the new Mitsubishi Lancer platform with the new Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass, the Evo X will get a new 2.0-liter mill, an improved AWD system and six-speed clutchless tranny with paddles"

http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/mitsubishi/sp...vo-x-148806.php

and...

taken from autosalon magazine:

"The next incarnation or Mitsubishi's Lancer platform will be released as a base model spec first, in late 2007. Wearing 2008 spec plates, the Lancer will share the base platform with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass.

The next Evo should be a six speed clutchless manual, and the new version of the awesome 4G63 may even pass the magic 300 horsepower mark. Cementing the Evo at the top of the small car performance charts."

You know i like the skylines, and supra's and most other sports cars but to me Just in my opinion I always feel like Mistu cars are made cheaply. Maybe not the car but the interior. Seems like they are cheap looking plastic and for what you pay for I feel its very similar to a daewoo or kia interior.

just my 2 pennies

i would say there very underrated, mums magna is a great car nothing fallen off or anything although the fact that its fwd makes it a bitch to turn at low speeds. not much wheel lock, long wheelbase, nose heavy, etc.

although when dad got his commodore he said it handled better than his astra... see what happends when theres no drive in the front wheels, even a long wheelbase can handle better than a small astra.

i want an evo 8 fq400 (aka f**king quick 400hp) from the uk... just over 300kw mmmmmmmm

or get a normal evo 8, convert to rwd, put an rb26dett in and mod it up. well they can fit a vh41de in a 3 series e36 beemer and make it a front midship.

ralliart evo 9 was comfortable as hell when i sat in the one at perth motor show 06. it seats were really buckety yet still comfy and recaro (have to do something about the leather tho - eww). my point is its perfect for my height/size. had to put the seat back a bit but yeah. everything like guages etc was in good view too.

>_<

bar 1 model, all mitsubushi's are the shittest looking cars on the planet... they look cheap inside and out, and its embarrasing to even be seen standing near one

who gives a crap, this site should be skylines only

Agree to dis-agree.

Does any-one know how narrow this thing is?

It looks like two Aussie blokes would not be able to fit in the front

The new width restrictions on new cars in Japan only means 1 thing.

We are goin to look like we are on a budget....so narrow....blah :P:/

The cars are going to look like push bikes.

We are doomed....need to look to other countries to import there 2nd hand turbo charged cars.

:dry::)

    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
    • The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
    • C'mon! At least come kicking and screaming into the 2000s. BA XR8 bulge.
    • No such thing as E30 in Sydney servos As stated above, flex fuel is your only viable,  and "safe" option I believe
