Mitsubishi Lancer to be unveiled at 2007 NAIAS

The next generation Mitsubishi Lancer sports sedan will be unveiled to the public at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, to be held on January 13-21st 2007 at the Cobo Exhibition Center. The base engine will be a 1.5 liter 110ps engine in Europe, and the line-up will include turbodiesel models, as well as the eagerly awaited Evolution X model which will feature a 2.0 liter turbocharged gasoline engine. This dispels rumours about the next Evo coming with a larger engine to rival the Impreza’s 2.5 liter unit available in certain markets - a 2.0 liter it will be!

The new Lancer sports sedan uses Mitsubishi’s Project Global platform, which shares chassis and engines with it’s partners DaimlerChrysler A.G., Hyundai, and recently PSA Peugeot Citroen. DaimlerChrysler’s new Dodge and Chrysler small sedans (example: the new Dodge Caliber) will be using the Lancer’s underpinings, while PSA Peugeot Citroen recently released SUVs based on the Outlander platform.

The pics posted here are of the Concept X shown at the Tokya Auto Show 2005.

FINALLY a different looking evo

Bluffmaster

Whaoo...it does Look like a sports car

! Will it be released in India ?

vij

even if they release they hv to change the clearance...
else the indian roads will change its clearance anyway...

Bluffmaster

If Launched it is directly gonna compete with Civic.

The original Lancer was/is one of the coolest looking cars on the indian roads. The newer ones have a pretty ugly looking grille. I don't this one will look anything like it does in the pictures when it does get released in india.

huighly unlikely any of the evos will be ever launched in india

Lol.. It will never be released in India first of all...

Its the Evo X... This was the rumoured Concept about 1 year back.

Its good to see, that its gonna be put to production..

@ Bluff, You think the Civic is even a Worthy competitor to the Evo?

Answer is NO. Even if the Evo IX doesnt look as good as the Civic. Its 260 BHP Engine, will own the Civics 105 BHP engine anyday

. 4get the 2 Litre 400BHP MR Edition monster. The MR Competes with the Murcielago. Also, Handling in the Evo is about 3-4x better than the Civic's. Oh, lets not mention that its more than twice as powerful too

.

The Civic is nowhere in the Evo's league. Nowhere.

Oh and yea Bluff, Im a evo fanboi

.

Edit : WTH? Whys that car an Automatic?

.. All the Power being put to waste.. Automatic?

....

Ofcourse there will be a Manual Version too, but Why an Auto at all?
