The new generation of the astonishing Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is just around the corner.

The legendary heritage of the Evolution series of vehicles has been perpetuated with a will in the new Mitsubishi Evolution X.

Alto Mitsubishi in the new Evolution X, which is the most recent manifestation of the superb Lancer Evolution – a car which has been constantly refined in the crucible of rally competitions around the world.

In developing the Evolution X, improving performance and handling was an imperative as for Mitsibishi. The new Lancer concept car is powered by a Turbo charged, 2.0 litre four-cylinder DOHC MIVEC engine, and has an improved power to weight ratio and body rigidity.

Continuing the trend set by its ancestors, the new Concept Evolution X looks spectacular. The profile of the vehicle is a pleasing combination of penetrating, sharp, aerodynamic lines and muscular front-end swells. The interior is neat and functional, and oozes twenty-first century aesthetic.

The Evolution X’s poise and appearance are further accentuated by a lower centre of gravity and overall profile. The expansive front air dam and honeycomb inlet grilles hint at the purposeful nature of the powerful new power-plant, and the rear airfoil sets of a tidy, handsomely-configured tail.

Technology improvements abound in the superb new Evolution X, with Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) incorporating Active Brake Control, Active Steering System and Mitsubishi Motors’ “Roll Control Suspension” technology for a more stable and surer ride than ever before.

Alto Mitsubishi have seen the near future of the all-wheel drive four-cylinder performance sports vehicle, and it is the Mitsubishi Evolution X.
