Mitsubishi releases "official" details on Lancer Ralliart... and they are GOOD!
Quote:
|
the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart will be a 5-door hatchback model in Europe and be based on the sedan in the U.S. Power will reportedly come from a detuned version of the EVO X's 2.0L turbo-four producing 240 PS, or about 236 horsepower if you want to be stickler about conversions. Surprisingly, the Lancer Ralliart is also pegged to come with Mitsubishi's 6-speed Twin-Clutch SST transmission, a piece of kit only available on the top level Lancer EVO MR. The EVO GSR makes do with a simple 5-speed. Of course, the Ralliart model will also be aided by the same Super-All Wheel Control all-wheel-drive system used by the EVO X, as well Active Yaw Control and Active Center Differential. Other notable features include an aluminum hood, Recaro front seats, a sports steering wheel with paddle shifters and a special Ralliart radiator grille.

Aside from the hood vents, I love the way it looks.

Nope....can't agree, GSteg.
Specs look good, I'll admit, but the styling is awful......as bad or worse than Subie's new WRX. That oversize grille outdoes even Audi's for garishness. The whole front end looks like something out or Star Wars or Battleship Galactica.

The rear quarter looks like an FX.

I've always loved the little radio control car look  The body panels are pretty simple looking (no weird side moldings and such). I'm into the aggressive looks when it comes to rally cars.

To me, you take away that aggresive front end and it has some Audi A6 in it...
Looks to be another great car from MItsu as of late!
And wtf is up with "SUPER" in front of another AWD system. Its LAME, RICER AND CORNY!!! Give these good systems GOOD names!!

I see there's nothing "official" about this report, with no Mitsu press release or no real evidence even from the Mitsu forums. In fact, this seems contradictory to earlier statements by Mitsu. Supposedly the Ralliart will be:
1. Detuned 2.0L EVO for around 240hp
2. 5 Speed manual as tranny
3. Evo 9 AWD system (non S-AWD, AYC, etc.)

I think thats why the word "official" in the title is in quotes.
However, I do think you are right with your listed specs. I just hope AYC makes it over!
