Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Final Concept Heading to Tokyo Auto Salon
Mitsubishi is readying a final edition Evolution X before its well-loved performance sedan takes a bow and exits the market.
In revealing its 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon lineup, the Japanese automaker announced a Lancer Evolution X Final Edition Concept that will be heading to the show early next year, likely previewing a special edition model as the Evolution nears the end of its production. It appears that the model will be based on the Lancer Evolution GSR model equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. In concept form, it will boast an HKS turbo, a modified intake, exhaust, fuel system, cooling system and ECU to create 480 hp.
