Mitsubishi Evo

After numerous Evo concepts, Mitsubishi has finally released more details on the tenth-iteration of its Lancer Evolution sporting saloon.

Photos released by Mitsubishi show the new Evo clearly differs from the Prototype X. Subtle changes have been made to the grille treatment, front fog lamps and a licence plate mounting bracket have been added, the wing mirrors and side sills are more subdued, and the wing mounted side repeaters all indicate a production-ready model. At the rear, the LED tail lamps of the show car have been revised, incorporating chrome rings around the individual brake lights and an orange indicator lens. The chrome wheels have also been replaced by less attention-grabbing silver alloys and the large red-painted Brembo callipers squeeze solid discs, not cross-drilled rotors as they were on the Prototype X.

Production versions of the Lancer Evolution will make their European debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this autumn and become available to buyers at the end of the year.
