For the 2009 model year, Mitsubishi in Japan has tweaked the Evolution with a slightly revised instrument cluster and center console, along with offering a GSR Premium model that pulls all the right kit from the range-topping MR model.

Included in the package is a set of 18-inch BBS wheels, color-matched fender scoops, fog lamps and Bilstein shocks, while inside a pair of leather swathed Recaros and a Rockford Fosgate sat-nav audio system with nine speakers rounds out the Premium model.

Prices for the GSR Premium are set at 4,798,500 with the five-speed manual, while the Twin-Clutch SST model will set our friends across the Pacific back 5,050,000 yen.

So thoughts? worth the extra money?

With a 5 speed? What possessed them to do that.. even the lower Lancer models need 6 speeds.

why is there 2 pedals on a manual tranny? anwyay I dont like the look of the lancers or evo. they have to be the generation before this new look

haha.its auto... twin clutch ! they claimed its much faster off the line than the manual version since it can changed gear faster than a human can do..lolz

Thats why the auto turbo supras are so much faster than the manuals. That twinclutch is sick though... and probably the way things are gonna be heading

To me the visual changes do not warrant the price increase... well maybe the leather interior. No real changes under the hood at this point so I don't really see an improvement over the MR.

Something different maybe?



I also thought then when i was on the highway doing about 100 km/h and i looked to see i was at 3000 rpm

Thanks for the post FMP.
