Not long to go before time is finally called on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution – the last builds of the Evo X Final Edition are going along, and the automaker has come up with a celebratory video highlighting production of the final iteration of the type.
Only 1,000 units of the special edition version of the high-performance 4WD sedan will be built, and reportedly all have been accounted for. Deliveries are ongoing, with final shipment to customers expected to be completed by March 2016.
This special specification car is based on a Japanese-spec Evolution X GSR variant, and features a slight power hike to its 2.0 litre 4B11 MIVEC turbo unit, the edition boasting 313 PS at 6,500 rpm and 429 Nm at 3,500 rpm for output numbers.
Equipment includes new Bilstein absorbers and Eibach springs and BBS 18-inch alloys, as well as the expected commemorative markings in the form of badging and serial number plaque. A fine farewell for the legendary Lancer Evo nameplate then, but it’s not the end of the Evo moniker – it has been reported that the much-heralded lineage will be continued by a high-performance hybrid SUV model. Whatever transpires, it won’t be quite the same.

Evo’s glory has overshadowed by GTR reign
They are both legends in their own right.
Better buy Inspira and change the badge
Like it or not. Both are 4WD.
Both are from Japan.
Both used to be King.
GTR makes aggression but Evo makes regression over the years.
the GTR is a circuit and highway hero… but with that 1700kg weight, it will lose out on twisty country B roads and tighter touge routes.. that’s where the rally heritage of the Evo line shines
Bro,
Even the Inspira will be been discontinued.
What is Evo or GTR when you’ve got TRD…
Too Retarded Dude..
its imprezas WRX’s, not quad assholes GT-R..
Good bye evolution Lancer.
Retire in Honors.
Not Finish, Legacy continue in another form
Proper send off. Kinda sad after watching that video. The Evo will always have a special place in my heart
Me too.
Lan Evo is Lan Evo, and Inspira is Inspira.
To Inspira modders, stop modding your car into something you’re not and driving like a nut in streets or highways. Kinda sad to look at it.
Well, at least in the Inspira I get to drive a stick. A DRIVER’s STICK! That’s something Mit Lancer Msia do NOT have.

only SMART guy get it (inspira)
I salute u for driving a stick. If Mitsu were to offer a stick in their based lancer GT sold in M’sia, which one you do perfer? Inspira or Lancer? Frm Stick Lover
1992-2015. Thanks Mitsu, for every Evo that had touched the heart and soul if very petrol head around the world. From Tommi Makinen’s crazy rally drift to Jakie Chan movie, Evo is not only an ultimate driving machine, it’s a cultural symbol that wets every teenage boy’s petrol dream for over 2 decades (unless you’re a Subaru fan) LOL. TQ Evo, domoarigato! Sayonara! (in tears…)
You forgot the EVOs were also in the 1st couple F&F movies
Yes I am a Impreza fan. Rivalry between Evo & impreza is kinda Scumi vs Mika in late 90’s. Ferrari vs McLaren. Pinnacle of road car mechanical awesomeness. Interesting and full of excitement.
Indeed this video really touched my heart.
Perhaps I need to thank WRC & Polyphonic who makes this Evo very desirable & “driveable”.
So long Evolution!
A goodbye not in style.. At least make a new final awesome look..
This inspira boring look… Just sad..
Bye bye LAncer Evo. Hope the next version will be more exciting and better!
and all the engineers are gonna jump ship to subaru
It’s good that Malaysia also have a movie dedicated on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution – it’s the box-office Polis Evo.
Wonder why they give up the lancer evolution model. I personally love the EVO 6 TME than all of the later versions. The ride & stability is just absolutely amazing. Kind of sad, lancer is my favourite car since I was a kid.
P1, go make Inspira Final Edition plis… haha
