where's our version of the 4 door lancer ralliart? I like that more, a more powerful of the current lancer. yay
What's the question? That article says the US will get a 4 door version based on the new Lancer body.
But from what I had heard it was going to use the EVO IX drivetrain.
Mitsubishi pull out of the 2004 year to develop their 2005 WRC rally car. After its utter failure, as a manufacturer, Mitsubishi has not competed in the WRC since. +1 to Urabus!
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.)
Well, they can't make it much more aggresive than this because if they do, it will rob too many new 2008 Evo sales. It will probably take a number of sales away from the Evo as it is....the Ralliart will be substantially less expensive, just as the WRX undercuts the STi's price.
