This new Mitsubishi Lancer is a bit of a mystery. Huge dual exhaust pipes and an intercooler - indicating a turbocharged engine - behind the front grille differentiate it from the standard Lancer, but we've already seen pictures of the upcoming Lancer Evolution and this is definitely a different car. Perhaps this is a new model that fits in between the Lancer and the Evolution - along the lines of a WRX, or even a car that has the Evo's performance without its boy-racer looks? We'll be on the look out for more news from Mitsubishi.

The new Lancer Evolution won't appear in the flesh until the Tokyo Motor Show this fall, but Mitsubishi apparently couldn't wait to show off its new baby, so it made public these pictures (the better to sex up its financial results press release). |
