ehhh, That doesn't sound appealing... Car looks terrible and it may be battery powered. What is mitsi doing to the beloved evo's!

I saw this on facebook, and I recon it look like a holden (And as someone pointed out, a focus also). I think the idea of both a front and rear electric engine could mean a lot in terms of handling, but I just don't think an Evo should be electric, it just wont be the same if its not a loud, smoke blowing beast.

id rarther let the evo rest in peace than bring out that car
it looks like michael bay designed for a transformers movie

[vermilioN]

I dont mind the lights and bonnet but the rest of the car needs to be toned down majorly!

[himynameisdaniel]

I give it another 5-10 years.
at least.

Mitsubishi still owes the world an updated Pajero\Shogun....

[Mystique]

Wow That's incredibly ugly

[Sven247]

At least my ES will look better than that!!!
HAHA

[Tweak]

looks like a bloody honda civic

[squala]

So long as it doesn't follow the flow of the new Outlander and Mirage, it should be fine.

If you understand how carbon credits work you will understand why companies are all going green.. to offset their total credits.

I think everyone forgets that electricity has less lagg It is not like a traditional evo platform but i guess it is the future.

Everyone complained about the Evo X when it came out.. oh its 150kg heavier than a IX... blah blah blah.. I sold my IX and went to a X MR. Yes it is heavier but... lets compare

HID
X MR = YES
IX = NO

DVD NAVIGATION
X MR = YES
IX = NO

RECARO
X MR = PROPER JDM SEATS + HEATING & AIRBAG
IX = CRAPPY SEAT BOLSTERS NON JDM. NO HEATING. NO AIRBAG

AIR BAGS
X MR = 9 AIR BAGS
IX = 3 AIR BAGS

WHEELS
X MR = 18" BBS
IX = 17" BBS (IF YOU BOUGHT THE PERFORMANCE PACK)

SUSPENSION
X MR = YELLOW BILSTEIN
IX = YELLOW BILSTEIN (IF YOU BOUGHT PERFORMANCE PACK)

RAIN WIPERS
X MR = STANDARD (IN ALL EVOS)
IX = NO

BREMBO
X MR = LARGER AND 2 PIECE SYSTEM
IX = YES SINGLE PIECE

SOUND SYSTEM
X MR = ROCKFORD FOSGATE
IX = OKAY SPEAKERS FOUND IN LANCER

KEYLESS ENTRY
X MR = YES
IX = NO

DIGITAL EUROPEAN INFO METER
X MR = YES
IX = NO

MIVEC
X MR = 4B11 HAS INTAKE AND EXHAUST VARIABLE VALVE
IX = INTAKE ONLY

KW
X MR = 217KW
IX = 206KW

HANDLING
X MR = S-AWC
IX = ACD

There was a tuner that says the 4B11 is a much better race engine. 4G63 was solid but it was never up to the level of 4B11. 4G block has been around since Cordia and Starion. Mitsubishi did what they should have done ages ago, which was to turn the engine the other way round. Things also like the automatic turbo timer on the X MR is also a cool feature.

Overall it is a more solid car.

So going back on topic, maybe the new Evolution will be another jump above 4B11.

My 2 cents from my experience going from IX to X MR
