Evo X concept to be unveiled in 2 months! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

dacalac · 08-18-2005, 10:53 PM

Here's what it's lookin like so far!

http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=216524

The Vauxhall Astra will have some serious competition in the C-segment style stakes from 2007 if this new Mitsubishi concept is anything to go by. Concept Sportback will get its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September, and its dynamic lines preview the dynamic look of Mitsubishi’s next Lancer, which goes on sale as a Focus-rivalling five-door hatchback in 2007.

The Lancer sits on an all-new platform that Mitsubishi claims is flexible enough to spawn a range of models over the next few years, including a replacement for the road-biased four-wheel drive Outlander. This computer-generated teaser image follows a pair of sketches issued last month and reveals the aggressive face of the new Lancer, which will be the first public appearance of Mitsubishi’s future design direction following its split from former ally DaimlerChrysler

It follows the current fashion of a gaping mouth dominating the front-end, flanked by neat slit headlights, with a wedge-like profile rising to the high-shouldered rear end. The sketches of the tail released last month show a diffuser-style rear bumper with twin exhausts contrasting with Nissan Murano-style crossover styling cues. As with the transition from CZ2 concept to new Colt, expect the bulging arches and aggressive aerodynamic tweaks to be toned down for the road car.

Performance fans will be pleased to hear that the legendary Evolution name will return on the next Lancer. A concept version of the tenth incarnation of the four-wheel drive rally-bred saloon will be unveiled alongside the new Outlander at the Tokyo motor show in October.

wootwoot · 08-19-2005, 12:15 AM

eh...just a concept of a concept at this point. id be surprised if the actual concept even has that much of a round back or the ugly front end

***FaLKoN240*** · 08-19-2005, 01:46 AM

I will stand on the roof of that car, and use the overly humongous hood vents as urinals.

Nan Desu Ka?! · 08-19-2005, 04:12 AM

agreed.. much better than the current evo.

95Blue240sx · 08-19-2005, 09:40 AM

Looks like an rx8 to me. i dont like the front bumper/lights.

Wei240 · 08-19-2005, 10:50 AM

it's not bad...

have to see what the production version looks like and in person....

OptionZero · 08-19-2005, 11:08 AM

I worry that platform sharing will force compromises; and the EVOX will be a 5-door hatchback?

They can't make the Evo X a 5-door hatch...that breaks the traditon of the car since it first started. Also 5-door hatches are hot in Europe and Mitsu wants a piece of the market.

Sadly, a lot of traditions get broken. A lot of RWD cars become FWD cars, engines get bigger, cars lose their flip-up headlights. Trend/innovation > tradition

drftwerks · 08-19-2005, 11:41 AM

they did it w. the POS eclipese, now ther making a evo look like a pos, thire whole lineup is probably gonna end up looking ot of minority report, or i robot.

I saw one of those new RX-7 killing Eclipses the other day. :ghey:

hendogg8 · 08-19-2005, 01:40 PM

I bet those headlights won't make it into production. They'll probably get bigger like most production models.

Var · 08-19-2005, 01:45 PM

looks like an E46 with an Audi front end. I think i like it. Way more classy than the last EVO

dacalac · 08-19-2005, 01:52 PM

here are some more sketches:

Official???

*exitspeed* · 08-19-2005, 02:10 PM

Dude you guys are nucking futs. That thing is hotness. I think it looks a billion times ber then the new STi...

OptionZero · 08-19-2005, 02:17 PM

we'll see how it plays out in real life, but right now it's reminding me of the new golf, s4, etc.

Not a fan of huge giant grills, functional or not

it may look better finished in reality

and whats this "fresh" 2.0L engine?
It's still the same 4G right?

The fresh 2.0 liter engine is rumored to be directinjection and all aluminum/open deck for optimum lightness/ emissions/ gas mileage. Its the wave of the future for christ sake!!

oh god I hope not... I really hope customers don't buy into direct injection.. you think injectors are expensive now.. wait till you check the price of DI injectors and they go bad faster.. DI trucks injectors average around $320 each.. x8 for trucks but even at inline 4 your still lookin around $1280 for an injector upgrade?? it will also need some sort of pump to drive them as well.. ecu's are even more integrated.. basically means you run into a wall of dealer only service and dealer only parts basically what bmw has been doing for the past 5+ years.

*exitspeed* · 08-19-2005, 02:39 PM

Don't forget this is what the Neon replacement is sharing it's platform with...

snatch13 · 08-19-2005, 03:40 PM

i like everything but the part on the front bumper that is black... just paint the damn thing... the pic of the red one is the best tho...if it rapes the evo IX performance wise, then ill praise it... otherwise i think the IX's look better...

Dutchmalmiss · 08-21-2005, 03:16 PM

altezza headlights.....other than that, it's pretty cool.

wingsnthangs · 08-21-2005, 03:42 PM

That red one is a pretty good looking car. Go Mitsubishi.
