(sorta looks like a mazda 6's exhaust design) which is very ugly. the rear doesn't complement the front. people at mitsubishi should really reconsider redesigning the rear. Not much of a difference between the lancer and the evo, personally the evo should look more aggressive than the lancer. maybe meaner headlights, like the ones on the sketches. on the flip side...the interior?...VERY nice....... very nice design, except the rear is a bit awkward.

No way does it cost $55,000+ to get 113 extra bhp!!! and the people who brought them should be shot FYI this is what happens when you lets those stupid English dealers fiddle around with a perfect product. The fq400 is just a warranty on wheels for a $55,000 premium and Mitsubishi motors japan had involvement in because the FQ400 car is a British aftermarket dealer option. by the way England where are all your domestics gone?!

Doubt a suede dash would ever make it to production. buenos,

Looks like suede, silver carbon fiber trim under the radio. Doubt a suede dash would ever make it to production.

Too bad this is a prototype, which means they're going to "water it down" alittle bit more. Sequential gearbox = boring. I've driven several cars with sequential gearboxes, including a Ferrari 360 modena just last week, and I could tell you that it sure take away some of that "driving experience" that make some of these cars. I like the 6speed on my Evo IX MR. Easier for finding that certain RPM range when downshifting without losing speed. I really like the wheels alot. Interior layout is ok. Looks too much like the Eclipse though. The buttons on the steering wheel on a car like this is unecessary. Not feeling the mirrors so much. The little gills behind the front wheels are a nice touch. The hood is a little too crazy, needs to be toned down a bit, especially with that third vent near the windshield. I like the blinkers under the headlights, very Porsche 997 Turboish. Speaking of Porsche, they called...They said they wanted their Crono meter off of the dash and given back to them. ;) It’s nice.
