If the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII had made us uneasy following the excellent Evo VI, then the tenth-generation Lancer Evo had even more to prove. Mitsubishi had turned the VII into an absolute monster over the years, undergoing further evolution with the VIII and IX models, which meant high hopes for the all-new X. And in one respect, the Evo X is likely to go down in history - because since production stopped in 2016, Mitsubishi no longer sells (and has no immediate plans to sell) a successor. Buy an Evo X, and you’re buying the ultimate evolution of one of the greatest performance car series ever. 25 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X in detail The Lancer Evo X was possibly a bigger step on from its predecessor than any other model in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series.

Apart from a sharper styling and a wide trapezoidal new grille, the 2008 Lancer Evolution X comes with a new 2-liter turbocharged engine mated to either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed sequential semi-automatic gearbox. The body gained more stiffness to aid with handling and reduce vibrations, while a wider track and longer wheelbase also help with the cause while offering more room for passengers. In 2015, before the model's extinction, Mitsubishi launched the Lancer Evolution X Final Edition, coming with an upgraded engine, new colors, special badging and a few interior enhancements.
Mitsubishi has been taking the legendary Evo X on a farewell tour of sorts, pumping out muscular special editions before canceling the AWD sedan and replacing it with some type of hybrid crossover. Clearly, Mitsu saved the best for last–witness the Evo X Concept Final, the most powerful Evo to ever roll off the assembly line, bringing 473 snorting horsepower to the Tokyo Auto Salon. The matte black bodywork, dark chrome accents, and red-stitched seating all inform observers of this uber-Evo's intents–as does the blocky "Concept FINAL" lettering along the doorsills. That's unclear: This concept seems to be headed for the Tokyo Auto Salon as a high-horsepower tribute to the rally-bred tarmac monster that auto enthusiasts have loved since the original Gran Turismo driving game landed on PlayStation. We've got high hopes for the future of the Evo name, whatever Mitsubishi ends up doing with it.

In 1974, a new subcompact sedan called the Mitsubishi Lancer was unloaded onto English shores. Only 40 examples of the Lancer Evolution X FQ-440 MR will be produced, each with a £50,000 ($83,000) price tag. It was priced at $82K, and the Evo X FQ-400 couldn't shake a Nissan GT-R, much less a Ferrari. It polarized British enthusiasts, and once Mitsubishi caught the nasty end of Yen/Sterling exchange rates in 2011, it pulled the Evo X from UK dealerships.

Georg 12y agoThe Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is dead...From Autocar magazine[quote]Mitsubishi to ditch the Evo for EVsMatt PriorI’ve just spent an engaging half-hour in the company of Gayu Eusegi, Mitsubishi’s global product director. But also he told me some news, which seemed to surprise a few Mitsubishi Europe bods as much as it did me. The Lancer Evolution X, Eusegi told me, will be the last Evo. Eusegi said that customers would find it what Mitsubishi was about if it was no longer in this motorsport-inspired market. He seemed to put the rumoured diesel hybrid Evo replacement to bed, too.
