looks alright, I like the overall shape but the body to light ratio is too big. I hate cars that have tiny head/tail lights and big ass body panels,

and that wide mouth is lacking a big ass intercooler

I don't know.. the more I look at it.. the mor eit looks like an SRT-4

I dealt the lights will be that small concepts mostly always look different when they are produced.

wow, that looks WAY different than the pre-tokyo show concept pics and drawings... me like!

MITSUBISHI Concept-X (show car)
With an exterior that carries over the full flavor of Lancer Evolution's spartan road machine image and a high quality interior with a functional layout that encourages the driver to concentrate solely on operating his machine, MITSUBISHI Concept-X points to way a new-age Evolution design that is as handsome and purposeful as it is functional.

In the mechanical components department, MITSUBISHI Concept-X mates a turbocharged aluminum cylinder block MIVEC engine to a high-performance 6-speed auto-manual transmission. Extensive use is made of aluminum in the roof, engine hood and other body panels. Chassis performance has been substantially improved with the introduction of Mitsubishi's latest 4WD-based Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) vehicle dynamics control system. The incarnation of driving pleasure, this highly advanced technical specification makes MITSUBISHI Concept-X a showcase on wheels for Mitsubishi Motors' quintessential road performance technology.

Design
The team has crafted a form with lines that are purposeful and handsome; a form that symbolizes the New Mitsubishi Motors Design while retaining the spartan performance image that defines the Lancer Evolution series.
Distinguished by its eye-catching oversized grille, the front visage borrows design cues from a jet fighter to hint broadly at the huge quantities of air it draws in and at the car's road-hugging stability. The brand-identifying 3-diamond logo on the leading edge of the engine hood is another distinguishing element of the new-age Evolution design.
The simple and functional layout of the cockpit is put together in a design that encourages the driver to concentrate fully on operating his machine. The design team has spared no effort in developing coloring and lighting that engender a keener competition look to the interior. The black keynote interior color uses silver counterpoints to impart the material look of aluminum and create a more dynamic and athletic looking interior space.


Powertrain
MITSUBISHI Concept-X is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder DOHC MIVEC intercooler-turbocharged engine that delivers instant response at all engine speeds with flat torque that keeps pulling up to the red line. MITSUBISHI Concept-X uses a clutchless 6-speed auto-manual transmission that realizes slicker shifting and higher transmission efficiency than a regular manual gearbox. Paddle shifters mounted on the steering column allow the driver to concentrate on his steering better and enable drivers of all abilities to experience the satisfying pleasure of sport driving.


Body and chassis
The ring-structure frame design realizes a significant increase in body stiffness, while the use of aluminum in the engine hood, trunk lid, fenders, roof and front and rear door panels reduces weight. Reducing weight in the roof and upper parts of the body lowers the center of gravity, while weight reduction in the doors, engine hood, trunk and other peripheral elements reduces the moment of inertia for better steerability. Weight reduction, lowering the center of gravity and reducing the moment of inertia all contribute to better motive performance and better handling.
The suspension features a MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear. Working in concert with Mitsubishi Motors' "Roll Control Suspension" technology, this design delivers very high levels of ride and road holding.


On-board Multi-Media System
The On-Board Multi-Media System complements the interior design in the way it encourages a dialogue between driver and machine. The high-definition LCD monitor provides a real-time display of vehicle and S-AWC operating status while also displaying on-board navigation system maps and DVD audio controls. Rear seat passengers have their own LCD displays at the back of the front seats that allow them to share with the driver driving-related information and to share the fun-to-drive experience.


Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC)
MITSUBISHI Concept-X showcases Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) vehicle dynamics control technology. A further step up the evolutionary ladder of Mitsubishi Motors four-wheel drive traction and handling technology well proven in the Lancer Evolution and other series, S-AWC realizes cutting-edge levels of vehicle dynamics control. Based on Mitsubishi's full-time 4WD system, as used in Lancer Evolution, that is built around ACD3 and Super AYC4 component technologies, S-AWC adds Active Brake Control, Active Steering System and Roll Control Suspension technologies to realize a fully integrated system.


MITSUBISHI Concept-X specifications
Overall length (mm) 4530
Overall width (mm) 1830
Overall height (mm) 1470
Wheelbase (mm) 2650
Track: F/R (mm) 1565 / 1565

If you're asking me, they borrowed to much from the Acura TSX/TL body. I don't like it.

I find this interesting...

"In the mechanical components department, MITSUBISHI Concept-X mates a turbocharged aluminum cylinder block MIVEC engine to a high-performance 6-speed auto-manual transmission."

I saw the dual exhaust and thought, "neat. They're using the 6A series. Most likely a 6A12 since it's a 2.0L with MIVEC. Should be a really high revver."

Then I read...

"MITSUBISHI Concept-X is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder DOHC MIVEC intercooler-turbocharged engine that delivers instant response at all engine speeds with flat torque that keeps pulling up to the red line."

So, does that mean the 4G63 is no more? Is it being replaced by the 4AXX (4A63?). I haven't heard of Mitsu using any aluminum blocks in the 4 cylinders before.

from some of the preliminary stuff i read about the new engine due out for the evo-x, they're completely redesigning the engine. when you think about it, the 4g63 was designed in the late 80's and mitsu it's looking to modernize. i still don't know if they'll call it the 4g63 or if it'll be like a 4g68 or 4g69, or we might get a 4g7x series out of it.

it most likely will be a 4gX# or if we are lucky a 4aX# (assuming mitsu still uses the same engine codes)

X is some random non-used number (not 1,6,3 etc) and # is just a model number.

4a8 series sounds nice. 4a83 for a 2l, 4a84 for a 2.4, 4a82 for a mythical 1.8, 4a81 for the 1.6 that nobody wants

haha, oh yeah, g is iron

wow that thing is sex on wheels... the engine compartment looks like you can have a picnic on it.. i read on another website that the concept x was to be a gas electric hybrid with all 4 wheels driven by 4 electric motors...

FYI the 4G6x series block design is late-70's early 80's when you consider original SOHC versions.

I think it's even older than that, dating back to the very beginning of the 70's. IIRC only the 4G1x and 4G3x are older. Not sure on that, though.

I like it but there are just so many evos. Once you buy one it is obsolete because a new model has come out. I love evos but they need to slow down and let each model run for a few more years.
