Evo X the last?

Just got back from the UK, after a week back in the homeland, read an official article regarding Mitsubishi moving away from the EVO, and the new 2012/2013 models will now be a 300 bhp diesel engine.

The designs are changing. The WRC is going away from its turbo car attitude. They are making regs regarding several things and making it a bit more economical like everything else on the planet. So, we will look and see what is going on with it when it happens in 2012 or 2013. But I have a feeling the Skoda and other cars like that are going to start taking over.

The Evo moving to Diesel isn't a secret. There have been rumors about it for quiet some time.

Fast sports cars are dying. The only sports cars that are selling right now are the Camaro and Mustang. Sad

I need to get my hands on an EVO before they all die out due to extinction of gasoline powered turbos

That sucks but a 300hp stock Diesel might really have some potential in making power. Diesel is so much easier to make power. 600hp and 1200ftlbs awd car sound like a ton of fun to me

Trying to be positive in some way

Fixed.

300whp and normally double torque in a high revving diesel (like the R10) is gonna rock. 60psi on pump fuel? Whats not to like about diesels?
