Mitsubishi Evolution X Japanese Brochure
August 28, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
The internet is a wonderful thing, within hours of scanning and uploading the Mitsubishi Evolution X brochure, a user of the Lancer Register forums made worldwide news with loads of new details and specifications about the upcoming Evo X.
Of course, it’s not all good news, the Brochure is in Japanese, nonetheless we have put one and two together and have figured out a little bit from the 14 page doco.
From what we can gather, the LED headlights and integrated fog lamps have been lost from the concept, at the same time the new Lancer GSR will gain new side vents and mirrors.
From the inside, the Evo X looks a lot cheaper than we’d previously seen, obviously the bean counters have had their way with it. Although it’s good to see that Mitsubishi’s version of the DSG gearbox (dual-clutch) has made it all the way through to production.
You can see the Evo X paddle shifters as well as a main central LCD to display all the cars information. Power is also a little disappointing at just 206 kW (6,500 RPM) although torque comes in at a healthy 422Nm from 3,500 RPM.
Of course these are Japanese figures, and there is every reason to expect they will rise slightly before the rally champion arrives in Australia early next year.
The image above shows the different technologies in the Evo X keeping the car on the desired path.
- ASC (Active Stability Control),
- ACD (Active Center Differential),
- AYC (Active Yaw Control)
- Sport ABS (Sport Antilock Brake System).
You can read more about the latest technologies used in the Evo here.

I’m thinking the first batch is gonna be sold out pretty quickly, especially with many Suby owners crossing the floor for this beast.
That dashboard looks like it’s mostly borrowed from the Outlander. I just hope that they haven’t used the same cheap-feeling interior trim as the Outlander.
when can I order?
Why is it that the most modern fashion at Mitsubishi Motors is to tease the public with great concepts but very rarely ever bring them to fruition.
In recent times, Mitsubishi has put forward many ideas but most of them have been nothing more then just that. I guess ‘dreaming’ and ‘engineering’ have completely differant financial consequences.
Mitsubishi is nothing more then just a dreamy outfit at the very best.
the new evo won’t be sold in batches like it has been previously, it will be a full production model for mitsubishi australia
Hey Woody, what are you talking about?.
This production version is almost identical to the Concept car plus all the bell’s and whistles are included.
Do I detect a WRX owner sulking??
I agree Steve, poor old woody forgot his medication and makes no sense whatsoever.
Suby will need to pull a rabbit out of a hat if it is to challenge the EVO X in retail sales.
Woody, have you ever driven an EVO? Have you? Drive one then tell me if there’s no engineering that has come to fruition. Does the name Makinen ring a bell?
I have driven some of the fastest Subys where I come from, including the new STI, in controlled conditions on a closed track. My 1998 EVO5 was consistently 5 seconds faster than the 2007 300BHP rated STI and my EVO5 only has a better intake and exhaust plus an ECU reflash to adjust the fuel/air mix and my model doesn’t even have traction control! So what the **** are you saying?!! BTW my son’s 1977 volkswagen beetle has a boxer motor too.
