CONCEPT-X

Mitsubishi Concept-X debuts the company’s design for the next generation Lancer Evolution.


Powertrain

The Concept-X is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder DOHC MIVEC intercooler-turbocharged engine that delivers instant response at all engine speeds with flat torque that keeps pulling up to the red line. Concept-X uses a clutchless 6-speed auto-manual transmission with paddle shifters mounted on the steering column to deliver slicker shifting and higher transmission efficiency than a regular manual gearbox.


Body and chassis

The ring-structure frame design produces a significant increase in body stiffness, while the use of aluminium in the bonnet, boot lid, bumpers, roof and front and rear door panels reduces weight. Weight reduction, lowering the centre of gravity and reducing the moment of inertia, all contribute to better motive performance and better handling. The suspension features a MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear. Working in conjunction with Mitsubishi Motors' "Roll Control Suspension" technology, this design delivers extraordinary levels of ride and road holding.


Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Concept-X showcases Mitsubishi’s Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology. A further step up the evolutionary ladder for Mitsubishi Motors’ four-wheel drive traction and handling technology, S-AWC realises cutting-edge levels of dynamic control. Based on Mitsubishi's full-time 4WD system, as used in Lancer Evolution, S-AWC adds Active Brake Control, Active Steering System and Roll Control Suspension technologies to create a fully integrated system.

Mitsubishi Concept-X specifications: Length 4530mm Width 1830mm Height 1470mm Wheelbase 2650mm Track F/R mm 1565/1565 Tyres 255/35R20 Wheels 20 x 9J

That looks cool, like the interior - very futuristic.

I like how it sounds performance wise but I like the style of the current generation, not really feeling this new style although if someone wanted to give me one I wouldnt complain :)

Does anyone happen to know how much the new Concept X might sell for and when we can buy one?

do you know how huch hoursepower it will have.

Check on Car & Driver's website to see if they did a test drive.

Some new sketches.But these are no longer concept x pics....their now prototype X...owwwwwwww!!!! :grin:

Apprently,this is 95% finalised version of the next lancer!!!my god its going to be one hell of a weapon!

dam i so love this evo, i can't wait to see it in action :beer: :clap: :grin:

Yes, same here. I would definately get one of this!

Looks better than that ugly monster on the streets now!

The back is still a tad plain with just a hint of Acura but still overall it's 10xs better than what's out there now.

In fact most look like they are run down already in the Onterio/Pomona area.

Personaly I like the 2004 STI :)

The lancer is 157hp but the EVO I gotta recheck my book to see if it's in there.

213.3 kw / 286 bhp @ 6500 rpm
i think

From this article:

It says the horsepower will be at 320 and the torque will rise to 325 lbs/ft...
I'm not sure if that's correct but I just read this article so I hope it answers your question.

That is one sick lancer. It's way different but its interesting. I like the interior better than the 9's and earlier. The 10 isnt so box-like either. I do like the evo's now, but this one (IF THEY DONT TRY TO MAKE IT TOO EXPENSIVE LIKE TOYOTA DID WITH THE SUPRA) will sell like crazy

ok here i got a link to edmunds who took a test drive with the new SAWC (the evoX's AWC system) system in the evo 8. it tells all about the new drivability of the X.

if you ask me, i like this new evo a whole lot but i wouldent get one cuz it's weight has increased quit a bit and that makes it harder to control when moving very fast. then theres the looks, it looks badass and all but its just to big, bulky, and butch for me.

let us all know what yall think about the review. Lataz :57:

i dont care..
but the best looking evo was the evo 6
too bad they never came to america

and the evo 10's are really cool
exp that huge front grill

the real 10 is a bit tamer in the looks compared to concept X, all engine design for these lancers is a combo of Mitsu + DC................. :blush-anim-cl:

i've read base its 31,999 was the lowest i read and the highest was 43,999

ok that price is starting to get to high. now im thinking that this car might end up like the supra and die out to quickly:(. i dont think mitsu would let that happen but if it did, it sure would kill mitsu's rep.
