Mitsubishi refresh its Japanese EVO X Line-Up

Do you think the 09 US GSR will come with TC-SST?


Blistein, Recaro, BBS and Twin Clutch-SST (Sport Shift Transmission), are basically the most important improvement that you can find on this Line-Up refresh.

3 Models are now available with the GSR and GSR-Premium (5 Speed Manual Gearbox or Twin-Clutch-SST) and S-AWC. The Premium Version will receive a better interior with Recaro Leather seats for example. 
And the 3rd version the RS, the down to the real and affordable fun Evox Only available with a 5 Speed Manual Gear Box and with 4WD without S-AWC.

Our 3 EVO X offers 300PS with a torque of 422Nm. Price in Japan are ranged between 3.150 Million Yen for the RS (23200€) to 5.050 Million Yen for the GRS-Premium with Twin Clutch-SST (37200€).

It would be interesting to see if they do come out with a X RS. I thought they were not going to do that since one of the main "points" of the X was AYC.

Probably some minor cosmetic changes and/or increase in price.

Are those black tails or the clear one from the Ralliart?

"" Do you think the 09 US GSR will come with TC-SST? ""

Doesn't that defeat its purpose? that's why they have an MR trim. The diff in price is about 6,000. Most of that money is simply on the Tranny. Why do you think the damn Ralliart is all up in the sky with its 27K tag... Why can't Mitsu bring a Ralliart with a manual tranny... that'd def put it on the 25k range

Ok I get it Mitsu, your super-badass, super expesive auto tranny is the szh!ts, now drop it and make some more manuals for god sake!

Maybe the '09 brings black tails, and they promised a revised ECU... or didn't they already took care of that?

Actually I heard that from my dealer that the ralliart is going to be MT in the next year and a half...
so the sooner the better because I am going to get one as soon as i can!
