Melbourne Motor Show: Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
29 Feb, 2008

Poised to sit above the VR-X and below the earth shattering goodness of the Evo X, the Ralliart Lancer gives buyers a rally heritage drive in a stunning looking package.
Already impressive, even in standard guise, the new Ralliart Lancer is sure to be an extra special hit with buyers wanting that little bit more from their ride.

Finally a worthy AWD competitor for the regular WRX. Hopefully its priced around the same money. Can’t wait for the comparison.

There are other pictures floating around on the net, actually of the rear (why wouldnt toy take that shot?)… looks awesome, had a black surround on the tailights which ofssets the red nicely.

I want one, the Evo has always been superior to the fugly Rex/STi, now the the mission is complete.
Lets hope Mitsubishi have plenty in stock or there will be a very l o n g waiting list.

Correct me if I am wrong, it appears that the RLancer shown in the Melbourne motor show (as shown in the photos) does NOT have the Recaro Seats (different to the one shown in the Detroit Auto Show).
I will be a bit disappointed if the Aust model miss on the Recaros…considering that even the Ralliart Colt have them as standard spec!!
Wondering when we will actually know the final spec of the RLancer for Aust?

Allan I was going to say the EXACT same thing… this is a concern, they usually show the fully speced model on display, if we dont get Recaros that would shyte me to no end (on top of the fact we pay $10k extra then yanks… we get less optional features as well!!!). Also interesting to see if they have left other things out, like 30 gig memory, these are points which would reduce the appeal of a car like this this, for me anyway.

The original Lancer GSR’s did not come with recaros, the japanese version DID come with recaros though. Perhaps the australian market will be again a more basic model than japan and the US receiving the Japanese model.
Nice car, The GSR should not have stopped here in Aus. It let Subaru take over the market.
A manual will be nice.
