It is the ralliart… we’ve seen the pics now but I also saw the other day the full story to this picture, these were apparently on route to the detroit motor show. As for the person who cliamed to see them, who Im guessing is an Aussie, lol what a lie. Chris people are doing it in the U.S mate, they bought the VRX and aernt happy with it, either couldnt be bothered waiting for ralliart or would lose out when factoring in depreciation so they just mod.

TP,

Really….why would anyone Void warranty on a production car with a turbo kit when you can go and spend the money it would cost on parts, labour and engineering certs on a Ralliart spec Lancer? It just doesn’t make sense.

An intercooler doesnt mean its a Ralliart… I frequent the Mitsubishi forums, people have undergone turbo projects. Same applies to all the add ons, people out their are doing up their VRX’s (or GTS’ as they are called in the U.S). I hope it aint the Ralliart because that silver strip around grille looks stupid (unless of course its optional, in which case I like the cars looks alot).

Where were these pics taken btw? ‘Just saw it’ where did you see it… find it hard to believe they are in Aus, I think they MIGHT be coming out in U.S late this year but certainly alot later in Aus.

judging from the picture it doesnt appear to have the side air dams either, and the intercooler is smaller compared to the evo’s. they are also the vrx alloys which were seen on the ralliart evo on testing (if anyone recalls that). also underneath the chrome on the front grill of the evo it is a small grey lip, on this image it is al red. and the fog lights are the same design as the vrx’s. i think this is the real deal!!

Near where I work is a white, 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe covered in ‘Ralliart’ stickers, which I’ve always found rather ammusing.

This is similar .

im surprised only 1 other person noticed the big front mount intercooler there – that alone says its not just a regular lancer. the rear spoiler also looks to be bigger than the standard lancer ones, but smaller than the evos.

im a WRX owner and when i upgrade itll be an Evo X or this Ralliart rather than the Subaru 3.

$20 says That big Fat intercooler under the front grill/air dam isn’t just for show.

It’s Real.

I just saw the new Ralli Art and it is exactly like the picture. The front end is very similar to the Evolution. The differences exterior appearance wise are the silver around the front grille, the badging, the rear end looks like a regular Lancer while the Evo has black cladding around the rear bumper and tailpipes, the Evo has venting just in front of the front fender flares. The mags are different and there are no brembo brakes visible thru the wheels. THe Ralli Art has a nicer dash with a Nav system. Seats are the same. Ralli Art is also offered in automatic with paddle shiters.
