At the upcoming 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon in January, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Concept will debut as the swan song of the legendary high-performance sedan range. Earlier on, the company has confirmed that it will be pulling the plug on the Evo but not before sending it out with a bang.
More than just a concept, this particular model is set to go on sale in limited numbers in the near future. The car is said to arrive dressed only in matte black and featuring 19-inch RAYS forged aluminium wheels, wrapped in Yokohama Advan Neova tyres.
Based on the GSR variant, the Evo X Final Concept will be equipped with a five-speed manual transmission sending all 480 hp to all four wheels. The 2.0 litre, four-cylinder mill puts out more power thanks to the addition of a HKS turbocharger, new intake and exhaust system plus a revamped engine control unit (ECU).
Word is going around that North American fans are set to receive a limited edition Evo as part of the final run before production halts for good. With Mitsubishi claiming this concept as a “street model”, it shouldn’t be a surprise if this is the model to wave farewell on behalf of the firm in America.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
When the Proton fanboys talking of smoking others on the road, this is the one they should get.
Limited budget? At least get the Inspira. Don’t talk empty with your old Wira/Iswara/Waja, your empty words don’t support Proton, your action does (buy the car).
why always take proton in the picture when it is clearly a Mitsubishi car… really tired with this same old mentality.be professional…..
Like an old folks always talk the same thing. We, the audience are getting bored. You need some new scripts, man
Inspira ???
Will we be getting any of these Final Editions?
WIll the “Evo” name be gone forever or will there be a new replacemnt soon?
It certainly have made a lasting impact with the ‘Fast and Furious’ movie series.
hope they will make some changes to distinguish itself from inspira..
love if it has have some curves…
haha. It’s same as my inspira!
I have tried use my inspira raced evo.
I beaten it!
sometimes, depends on skill, not car.
ya right…then you go and tell Mitsubishi not to produce turbocharged engine anymore because your NA is more powerful aka powderful.
and also go and tell bmw,merc, porsche as well..thanks
FYI, NA is much better is cornering.
If you don’t know on this, please google it
kind of upset that i am desperately wanna buy the Evo X, but in Malaysia it’s very hard to find with Manual box. every used car selling the SST version.
since day one it came here till today, still can’t find the Manual Evo X. really hope that this version will be available here, but of course the price would be very high, since the Subie’s S206 Nur could cost above RM300k, leveled with pre-owned GTR. sigh…
Cool story bro
It’s not the same. Don’t bluff. The fenders and roof ribs differ. The rear bumper differs. The wheelbase differs slightly. The steering wheel, the interior, the gear console, all differs. Unless you get a full makeover of the fenders and stuffs inside just so you can look like one. Real car enthusiasts know well when they look at an Evo.
It doesn’t matter if you changed the crank pulley, air intake, BOT, exhaust system, etc. You can’t outmatch a stock Evo X.
I just Bot my car, can beaten evo.
No need to mod so much.
Did you blow your cvt?
What rubbish, just BOT and you think you can out-handle and out-pace a real Evo? Evo X has a twin-clutch SST with AWD.. not just any AWD, mind you, but with an active center diff and a rear diff that has AYC. And your FWD CVT Inspira with BOT can outrun and out-turn an Evo, with just FWD, no LSD, no torque vectoring?
Yeah right.
Maybe the EVO you just beat is also Inspira Converted to EVO Bodykit….
Oh u mean u were driving full throttle at 140 km/h in 4th gear before entering a corner, while the Evo X were driving 80 km/h relaxly in 5th gear while enjoying night air, u are right, then.
FYI, inspira suspension is tuned by lotus.
Much more better than Evo at cornering.
I am 5th gear cornering and enjoying, while evo at 4th or 3rd gear.
So you’re telling us that your 138 hp 1.8MT Inspira had beaten the mighty 300 hp 2.0twin-scroll turbocharged Evo? Man..you gotta be kiddin’ me..
Or maybe you’re just overtaked a cruising 100kmh Evo, or maybe a parked Evo?
Or maybe you’re just being sarcastic, just to spend time to make fun and fool of yourself..
And oh yes, your Eng s**ks man!
Kid, i am sure your are studying college or secondary.
By using ” And oh yes, your Eng s**ks man! ” to show yourself very educated.
Please stop being childish. OK
Buat malu Inspira owner je.
Duk diam-diam.
if i was in that evo..i’ll probably do the same..just let u go..
not worth a challenge lor…
(To fellow paultan.org commenters)
This is just another troll, guys. Certainly he didn’t beat an Evo X in a race. I’m quite sure there was no race.
Don’t feed him. Otherwise, his ego will eventually eclipse the forums.
unfortunately, here in paultan people love to feed trolls, hence the birth of so many troll such as this sucker and sam loorrrrrrr
The Evo is gone but the Inspira will live on.. for another 10-15 years…
what is the reason behind 5 gears? I always believe performance cars should have 6 gears (min) close ratio for spirited driving. or else 6th gear is for cruising, which may lower FC.
Cost control. No point investing in a legacy product (that soon they will stop production).
Japanese culture, always one gear less like VIOS and Camry 4 gear only.
While saying that, the top-spec Camry has 6 gears…but the number of airbags for top-spec still 4 lah. Haha.
This is an entry-level Evo, called GSR, which features 5-speed Manual gearbox for 3-pedal enthusiast.
6-speed auto DC-SST is reserved for the flagship Evo, called MR, that provides more specs(and faster too!)than the Evo GSR.
Unlike Subaru, which their entry-level is a 5-speed auto, or CVT, and their flagship is a 6-speed DC-MT.
Nonetheless, the recently launched 480hp GSR is quite remarkable, don’t know whether they’re gonna provide with the MR ones or not.
I don’t think we can buy it outright in Malaysia though.
Difference???
Dulu Malaysian very crazy with Mitsubishi cars. Wira mau jadi evo, iswara mau jadi evo, kancil also mau jadi evo.. very obses with evo. Now with many choices of car sell in Malaysia the evo brand also slowdown. Dulu Malaysian tak gila Golf, Fiesta,Clio or Swift.. that why dulu evo owner very arrogant on the road.. waa mentang2 kereta laju banyak eksen maa.. now try laa beat golf gt or scirocco let see who eat smoke! The moral is, many choices of cars is good, the company now can not suka2 jual mahal, spec cincai, if they do the buyer will buy their rivals..
480 hp? That’s a very healthy increase from the ‘regular’ Evo with just 295 hp. Good thing it’s offered with the manual only. If equipped with dual clutch SST, the power and torque would need to be tuned down to preserve the gearbox.
It will be a sad day indeed when the Evo line is finally discontinued at number 10. So, fans, enjoy it while it still lasts.
The Evo 1/2/3 lived on far beyond their years as the multitudes of Wiralution we see on our roads. Don’t worry, Inspiralution will carry on this tradition for another 20 years!
There are some wolves in sheeps’ clothing as it is.. almost-stock appearance Inspiras with full Evo X powertrain transplants.. but these are far outnumbered by sheeps in wolves clothings, of course.
