I see they widened the body a bit just like the 2011 WRX STI, I just waiting and looking out for the EVO 11 specs.

That's the X concept mate...

here's the XI concept

Ohhh lol...but like they bringing the 11 into a hatchback like the 2009 STI.

I will stick to my evo 9/10 ROFL!! Thanks

yeah not only that it's a hybrid...

Ultimate oxymoron.....and yes I know the HP numbers that are being bandied about!

Yeah but knowing them aftermarket people, we're gonna see a RWD powered +320 BHP car period... that front electric system I'm sure someone will bypass... WORSE still if they make the RS model

From the back though it has a pergeot 206 look... needs the rally spoiler!!!

imho if they add the spoiler and a small tweak on the side skirts etc, this is a pretty nice looking car.

dude you real talented!!!!

Unfortunately for all its fans, the iconic "Evolution" is going from tragic...to pathetic.
The mighty 4WD "Evo" derived from a simple FWD Jap "econo-box," has evolved from a multiple WRC winner...into a very good competition car in most divisions of motor sport...rallying / racing / autocross / drag racing...you name it.

Sadly their recent financial troubles, mean that the bean-counters now call the shots at Mitsubishi. WRC ingenuity and innovation has been diluted into the "GT Touring experience" for the "well-heeled" wannabe/neverbe racer...and now morphed into "Green engineering" for the "environmentally conscious."

This might sell more cars...for now...but there is a price. Trading on "the old glory days" to boost the financial bottom line has taken the "competition scalpel" that fans loved...and has left in its place a "chubby, executive cruiser" with no direct lineage to the "real McCoy."

Yup, tuner shops will continue to gut, re-engineer and massage the Evo X and its successors into something resembling REAL Evo performance...but the build-costs keep getting bigger and bigger to overcome the ever increasing weight penalty that the newer "Evos(?)" have to overcome.
When a sports saloon "evolves" from a sleek 2,600 lb. pocket rocket into a 4,000 lb. lard bucket, draped with a ton of electronic gizmos just to help it to get around corners in order to try to be competitive...then something is very wrong with Mitsubishi's focus IMHO. The day of the "EVOLUTION" has passed. Long live the “Evo GT Cruiser.”...God help us!

When (If?) Mitsubishi ever returns to true international competition, it may well be with a car that's half the size of the current "tourist bus" and with a new model name to attract the attention of future fans. After bastardizing the “Evo” name so much...they may have no other choice. Here’s hoping for better days…and a better driver's car.

I forsee the value of the older models going up

I wonder. Well-kept examples, maybe...but so many E4s-E7s are getting tired now.
Only the E8s and E9s still keep their value. All Evos seem to get too much "stick" from owners, I suppose.

not miiinnne....

^ ^ ^ True...exception to the rule.

u real bad hoss!!! dat real cool looking

i say mitsubishi shouldve dropped the evolution name after the 9, like nissan did with the skyline.

It looks decent but they running way off course. I have to get a 9 before its too late...the last real evo... imho

lolzzz....

^^^dat not funny! i of the same opinion as Drift_King

somewhere in Japan, my Evo IX GSR is driving around safely, waiting for me to purchase in a year or two...

LOL I know the day i sell 701, it's gonna fetch a damn good price... (better considering all the damn things on it.)

Jeez! Maybe read my earlier post. What absolute BULLSH!T.
Why bastardize their most popular competition model like that? Why not just leave well enough alone...
Release a Final Edition Evo XI FQ450 (or similar) and then just stop production.

Then wait a few years and launch a lightweight, "1600 T" Super Coupe or Hatch with the "works" for the WRC when they can afford it. At least that's better than these rumoured "Evo Abortions."

i miss Ralliart... they would NEVER have let this sh!t fly...

the last real evo was the 6.5

anythign after that includign my evo 7 is a watered down version. plain talk bad manners

^ ^ ^ Crix while I'm obsessed with the Ev0 6 TME RS as the best of the bunch... IMHO the E9 GT would be my 2nd choice of all the OEM (stock) models.
