Mitsubishi has revealed some details of the new 5-door hatchback that will be displayed at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show in March this year.
The car is called the Mitsubishi Prototype-S and is naturally based on the new Lancer family. Mechanical specifications include a 2.0 litre inline-4 DOHC MIVEC turbocharged engine putting out 240 PS and 343Nm of torque. This is mated to a Twin Clutch SST automated manual transmission that puts power to all four wheels via a full-time 4WD driveline which features Mitsubishi Motors’ Active Center Differential (ACD).
Active Center Differential (ACD) uses an electronically controlled multi-plate hydraulic clutch to optimally vary the front-rear torque split to different driving conditions and deliver the best balance between steering response and traction.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
first…cool..
2nd!!!
looks nice although i dont really prefer a hatchback…
Even a Sedan lover would wanna own one….
This is not proton topic ma,,,no need to fight who is first…aiya
Waaaahhhh!! Gimme one! Nicy! Nicy! I really love it. Maybe it got enough power to overtake 5 ‘trailer sedang konvoi’. Errr…know i’m thinking about the price.
the back looks like a focus + the new impreza
hmm, the rear view looks like Toyota Harrier
all the new mitsu car have the same look….but nice……
Loose 2 doors and perhaps finally something worthy to carry the Eclipse torch.
If they can make this, its not that difficult to make a coupe. I’ll be waiting.
So i guess Mitsu’s next WRC racer will be a hatchback then…
prefer the impreza…much better..
personaly, I think it’ll be way better if it would come in the guise of a proper 4 seater coupe and the guys at Mitsu could also throw in a rear wheel biased AWD system, something like Subaru’s or Skyline’s/ GTR’s…… this concept already has a mean face (and firepower) all it needs now is a proper rear end.
Looks quite nice, cannot wait for the real thing to come out
looks much better than the retardard scooby
I hope it comes with 3 doors options
want fight the new WRX STi? no need lah, don’t waste time, because the upcoming Evo X is the best in its category……

hahaha sori MisterBenjo.. just gets a litle excited only..
it will give the golf R32 some trouble
hard to decide……………….
It’s good to see that more and more performance cars are now coming with AMT. This will allow for optimal shifting speed, minimal engine-to-wheel loss, and ability to handle high power and torque that would fry ordinary automatic torque converters. Though all they have is an artist’s drawing, hope to see it in the flesh in another two months’ time!
hahah wanna make it up to impreza i guess since mitsu lost all the shootouts of the new evo vs new impreza
