I had already bought Brian Long's other book 'Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution' and was not at all aware that this is the exact same book with a different cover and title so was somewhat annoyed by that. This title does have a new chapter in it covering the Evo 9, but it should be advertised as such. So for anyone who has neither book, just buy this Long story short, Mitsubishi stopped making the Evo for the same reason it stopped making all of its other great performance cars – money. More specifically, consumer tastes and preferences are changing. Most buyers want cars that are practical, reliable and economical. Most buyers also want these traits packaged up in a crossover or SUV form Long Live The Lancer Evolution: Lancer Edition R Is The New Evo Mitsubishi Won't Build. but the takeaway is still the same. This car is seriously quick. The Evo might be gone, but it's Evo X = 4B11T motor w/TD05 hybrid twin scroll turbo. Genesis 2.0T = Theta II motor w/ little teeny TD04. Hyundai and Mitsu share a TON of motor and drivetrain components, they have for a while now. The Theta II block is essentially the Lancer Ralliart block, but its not much like the 4B11T despite the fact that one company on here actually What you get with the ’13 Lancer Evolution MR is a 3,517-pound commuter sedan that has been hit with a batshit-crazy 291-horse engine huffing huge boost, all-wheel-drive, lots of scoops and flares and maws straight out of Manny, Moe, and Jack’s most fevered dress-up-accessory dreams, Recaro crypto-race seats, and a couple of decades of race-winning heritage. thanks guys. I thought all evos were awd but when you look up "evo drifting" on youtube a lot more evo 9s than any other evo show up. Yea Evo 9's are popular because they are plentiful relatively cheap and have the last of the great 4G63T with the MIVEC system. Many Drift spec evos have their front driveshaft removed to convert them to RWD. And thats why its so damn expensive to improve anything on a base lancer interior. Cause everything is priced as if you were shopping for evo parts. Especially new head units. The Evo X, the fourth generation of Mitsubishi’s 16-year-young Lancer Evolution lineage, is the most widely revamped in the iconic Evolution’s history. This review was first published in MOTOR magazine's August 2008 issue. It’s a whole new platform, carries a bold new look inside and out, and has more smarts packed into what must be one .

is a lancer and evo the same
