That machine looks like sex! Any speculations on pricing and release date yet?

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Nope. It's supposed to be a 2008 model, so I'm sure it will be a while yet.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Toss 'Mitsubishi EvoX' into a google image search and some more pics come up. Some look bad ass!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Looks good, 2 door version though! Please??

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Most of the pics out there right now are of the concept car. These are of the actual production prototype :)

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Aren't they just gonna have a mivec v6? Damn they are hot though. But I would still pick the older evos.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Last I heard it is going to be GDI turbo 4cyl.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

They do, its called the eclipse.

Maybe you've heard of it?

Wow that is a huge improvement IMO!

Time to sell your evos!!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

any pics from today?

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Well then smart ass what does it have for a engine then? lol

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

There's a prototype Eclipse floating around with the same drivetrain as the new EVO. They need to put it into production, then they'd have two cars to bail them out of their financial mess instead of one.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Their new global 2.0L MIVEC engine with a turbo.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

I believe I read that engine is an open deck aluminum block :(.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Oh ok cool thanks

It's time to do no such thing.

And this is why.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Yuck paddle shfiters..

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Damn, 200 lbs heavier that the current Evo really sucks! Hopefully the MR comes with a 2.4l and reduced weight!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Sweet, Im going to go put a deposit on it!

Manual 6 speed is optional! YEAAA!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

6-speed optional.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Fuck missed that. Well tonight we learned that I suck at reading. Thanks s2krack for pointing that out twice tonight.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Pros:
-New body style
-Available Navigation system
-20 inch rims in pictures will be replaced with 18 inch rims
-Upgraded AWC system
-4 piston brakes
-Available premium sound system which includes a giant built in subwoofer.

Cons:
-Heavier
-Open deck aluminum block
-Rear wing is no longer made of carbon fiber, the same goes for the aerodynamic diffuser that peeks out from underneath the rear bumper.
-Unfortunately the concept car's suede upholstery for the dashboard and door panels (also seude in seats) won't make it to the assembly line.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Well now that i see the final product, i really like it!

Looks like it'd be pretty easy to be a rediculously large fmic on dat bish.

I dont know how it will be to work on though; looks like the turbo is on the "back" like most modern turbo cars these days.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Good thing im light, some of you fat asses should loose some weight and then you wouldnt have to worry about that extra 200 lbs ;)

Allan you should have waited one more year and not gotten a 6!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Looks badass to me, this car answers all the things I don't like about the current EVO (mainly looks and interior design). I can definitely see myself picking one of these up when they are released!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

I just told Jana we may look at a trade in down the road. LOL

In reality, I still love the 6, and bought it over an evo for some of the reasons Chris lists. I don't see giving it up anytime soon. But, maybe an EVO X is a new car for Jana down the road. ;)

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

You could always give her the 6 and take the evo :) That's what I'd do anyways

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Here is supposedly a pic of the real Evo X. Notice a few small changes on the front end, head lights and the chin spoiler sticks out farther.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Nope that is the exact same car just from a different angle that we have all been looking at.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

I can see lines from Audi, Subaru, and the RX-8 in it with some JDM tuner flare. Definitely one of the best looking Mitsus ever IMO.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Yea that is HOT. Better have an option for a sunroof!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

I don't care so much about a sunroof, but I want leather for sure!

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

That is a really nice looking car. Any estimates on hp yet?

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Most seem to think ~320hp with similar torque. I think the torque estimate might be a bit high though. It is going to have active suspension and other stuff, that is probably part of the weight gain. Also, everyone else is saying it will have a 5 speed, not a 6 speed. That would suck if it does, everything else has a 6 speed now.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

From the side with the line going across the door handles makes it have an Acura TL look which is a good thing IMO. I like how they put chrome around the grill and used it as the lower window trim. The chin spoiler and agressive looking front head lights are also pluses.

I've been trying to think of what you could do to make the front end look better and not plastic looking without painting it. I wonder if it would look good with the plastic under the mitsu badge including the badge itself removed with a giant FMIC?

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

First Render of what I want it to look like, FMIC pic coming next.

**Keep in mind I have no skill in photoshop so I'm using my paint skillz to do this.

Edit - Second Exclusive render done. A 420 Designs FMIC capable of 650+ HP goals.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

Maybe you could take out the giant sub in the back to save some weight.

Shave it and save a few pounds.

You can always reupholster it with your own dime.

Who needs it? It would be fun to get lost with this car.

Re: New EvoX Prototype to be unveiled at 1pm CST today!
 

I said the sound system is available, I wouldn't get it personally. I just put it in the pros for people who would be interested, after all its a nice option and I'm sure plenty will want it.

I also agree with you to take the rear spoiler off, I don't like rear spoilers AT ALL! But, then again many do and like to keep them, thats why I put that under cons.

About the upholstery... well I saw that as funny, copied and paisted from article thats not really a pro or con.

Finally but not least playa, the navigation system is for ballers, thats also why it is under the pro section. Clearly you don't fall into the baller category thanks for clarifying that for me.
