Farewell... 2015 Mitsubishi Evolution Final Edition

Stingray · 05-30-2015, 07:53 AM

Japan-market only....

"The tenth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been on sale in Japan since 2007, and in the U.S. since early 2008. That's a long time by auto industry standards. And while the Evo helped establish the genre of sneaky-fast turbo sedans (along with its longtime competitor from Subaru), it's time to bid the Evo X farewell.

What we have here is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition, a farewell version comprising the last 1,000 Evos to be built. Based on the Evo GSR, this 5-speed manual-only edition comes with black leather Recaros with red accent stitching, 18-inch BBS wheels, Bilstein and Eibach suspension bits, and Brembo brakes, along with the requisite "Final Edition" badging and a numbered dash plaque.

Mitsubishi won't say just how much power this thing makes: The company would only admit to the Final Edition being powered by a 2.0-liter MIVEC turbo engine featuring sodium-filled exhaust valves. AutoEvolution guesses this combo is good for more than 300 hp—more than lesser editions, but still not the 473 horses of the Evo X Concept Final show car we saw in Tokyo in December."

Always liked the Evos! They we're the sh!t back in the early 2000s when the pocket rocket craze was huge.

Might get one before they're all gone... If not then the golf R for sure.

They lost there way after the ix , still hate to see them go :-(

So sad... The Evo was a legend that's for sure.

It's always sad to say farewell to a performance vehicle. Performance cars are the soul of an automaker.

It's okay guys, Mitsubishi will build a new Evo...crossover.

The Evo XIII was my favorite. Like everything else in life, we all have an end.

Bizaro · 05-31-2015, 10:23 PM

so no more evo ever again or just this gen?

Aequitas & Veritas · 06-01-2015, 08:42 AM

Mitsubishi was saying never again, on more than one occasion, that's when I lost hope for the Evo to continue. It opened the door for Subaru to claim more sales for the STI though

motorhead · 06-01-2015, 08:45 AM

I would assume the market has spoken.

Denis · 06-01-2015, 09:23 AM
