Goodbye Evo.

Naja, nach dem aus von Ralliart war das ne logische Schlussfolgerung.
Mitsubishi hat sich aus dem Rallyesport zurück gezogen und brauchen das Homologations-Modell nicht mehr.
Zudem sind die Verkaufszahlen stark zurück gegangen und im Hauptmarkt in Japan sind die Fahrzeuge auch nicht mehr gefragt.
zudem kommen sie Strafzahlungen an den Staat für jedes Gramm zuviel CO2...

Ich hab ein weinendes und ein lachendes Auge.

Ich hab noch einen richtigen Evo dessen Wert dann vermutlich stabil bleibt, jedoch trauer ich um ein weiteres Modell welches noch Charakter hatte... zumindest bis zum X.

Wenn man diesen Nachrichten Glauben schenkt, dann ist es nun wohl soweit.

Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution is getting on in years, with the current generation, the Evo X, having been with us since the 2008 model year. Mitsubishi has hinted at launching a radically different successor, but there’s no official word that we’ll ever see such a car in the next year or two. However, the situation may be even starker as a report out of Japan claims the current Evo X will be discontinued at the end of this year and Mitsubishi will use its remaining resources to focus on environmentally friendly cars rather than performance cars. Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun (via World Car Fans) is reporting that Mitsubishi wants to foster an image of electric car leadership and will allocate its resources accordingly. The report adds that the performance image of the Evo previously helped the Japanese brand, especially during the days when it competed in the World Rally Championship, and that now this is in contrast with the new focus on the environment. We’ve previously heard that Mitsubishi was only delaying the launch of a new Evo, and that it was waiting until it had suitable technology for such a car--namely, a performance hybrid system. Nissan is expected to launch a hybrid GT-R in the coming years, and Toyota may revive its Supra nameplate for a new hybrid sports car, so perhaps Mitsubishi is taking a wait and see approach. Hopefully it doesn’t wait too long as fans of affordable performance have many other options. Some good alternatives include the Ford Fiesta ST, Subaru WRX STI and Volkswagen Golf R. All our comparable with the current Evo X, which for 2014 is priced from $35,820.

2015 ist endgültig Schluss mit dem Evo X

Mitsubishi has confirmed that its Lancer Evolution will bow out of the market after the 2015 model year, and at this point it’s not clear what will replace it. Mitsubishi has said in the past that any successor to the Evo will be very different to past generations of the car, with many suggesting it will be a hybrid. Unfortunately, it may be several years still until we see a proper successor launched, as Mitsubishi has also said it won’t start development of such a car until it has suitable technology. As for the final 2015 Lancer Evolution, there aren’t many updates to report on. The side mirrors are now heated and feature integrated turn signals, while a new drop cup holder with lid has been installed in the cabin. For the GSR, standard features still include a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, six-speaker stereo, leather sports steering wheel, hands-free and USB connectivity, 18-inch wheels and Brembo brakes. A five-speed manual also continues to be standard, while a new Premium Package is being offered and includes Mitsubishi’s Sight and Sound Package plus leather seating, power glass sunroof, heated front seats, sound dampening enhancement and piano-black accents on the dash. Opting for the MR model sees the 2015 Lancer Evolution benefit from a number of additional features including a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system, xenon headlights, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs, two-piece brake rotors, and 18-inch BBS forged wheels. No changes have been made to the powertrain, which means the car’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is still pumping out 291 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. Drive still goes to all four wheels via Mitsubishi’s unique Super All-Wheel Control all-wheel-drive system. The setup integrates a number of separate systems to aid handling, such as those controling yaw, a center differential, stability and anti-lock braking. Pricing for the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is yet to be confirmed, but expect it to start close to the $35,820 sticker of the 2014 model. It’s sad to see the Lancer Evolution finally bow out of the market, with all ten generations having brought plenty of fun and top-level performance to those on a budget. Having also won four straight World Rally Championship titles in the skillful hands of Tommi Mäkinen, the Lancer Evolution is arguably one of the most capable four-door sports cars of all time. Go out and get one while you still can.

der nächste Evo wird ein SUV

Mitsubishi Evo to be replaced with a high-performance hybrid SUV Iconic sports saloon is dead as we know it, but its spirit will live on in a new hybrid model using tech from Mitsubishi's Pikes Peak racer. The Mitsubishi Evo is dead as a sports saloon, company chiefs have confirmed to Autocar, but its spirit will live on as a high-peformance hybrid SUV. Once the Japanese manufacturer’s most iconic model, the Evo and its future have been the subject of much internal debate for a number of years, with Mitsubishi putting a greater emphasis on hybrid vehicles. Speaking at the Paris motor show, Mitsubishi product boss Kanenori Okamoto confirmed that an Evo XI was not part of the brand’s future plans. “It will not exist as we know it,” he said. “It will be replaced in spirit by an SUV with high performance.” Okamoto explained that the company has yet to decide which the new rapid SUV would be based upon, although it will include technology inspired by Mitsubishi’s electric Pikes Peak hillclimb racer, know as MiEV Evolution. Indeed, lessons learned in the packaging of the competition car could prove useful; an Evo-inspired hybrid SUV would require a large battery and high-output electric motor to produce performance car characteristics. It will make use of the latest evolution of the Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) four-wheel-drive system originally developed for the Evo X and also integrated into the MiEV Evolution. Okamoto added that components and control systems pioneered in the new high-performance SUV would trickle down into other future Mitsubishi road cars. He also said that the project would benefit and inspire the younger breed of engineers within the company. UK performance car enthusiasts hold the Evo in high regard, notably because of its success in rallying, but there are no plans to take the SUV into motorsport. However, Mitsubishi UK boss Lance Bradley was confident that green technology could excite on the road: “Green is still fun to drive. It’s a challenge to make it fun, but not a particularly difficult one. Electric vehicle performance is very good.” Mitsubishi's entire range over the next five years will grow to include an electric or plug-in hybrid electric version, according to Bradley. Next year the firm will launch a new pick-up truck and in 2016 will launch a second generation version of the ASX crossover. The company has been buoyed by the success of the Outlander PHEV, a driving force behind the firm's UK sales being up 93 per cent year-on-year so far, on top of 50 per cent growth in 2013. This has been important, says Bradley, because the firm's future product plan is banking on the plug-in hybrid electric technology being a success. "As new products are introduced, they will all get the new technology," he said. "Our technology is scalable. The ASX will be the next to get it in a different version, likely with a single electric motor and two-wheel drive. It won't have a shorter driving range, though, because battery technology is improving all the time." The new ASX will be inspired by the design of a concept car from the Tokyo motor show, said Bradley.

Evo’s Time Has Come And Gone, Says Mitsubishi’s U.S. Chief Mitsubishi’s U.S. chief has confirmed what most of us already knew: That there won’t be a direct replacement for the awesome Lancer Evolution when the current model bows out of the market after the 2015 model year. Speaking with Motor Trend, Don Swearingen, executive vice president for Mitsubishi in the U.S., said the Evo’s time had “come and gone” and that cars like the MiEV Evolution III electric racer hint at what the future has in store. But before the Evo finally races off into the sunset, Swearingen said Mitsubishi will launch a special edition model to mark its end. As previously reported, Mitsubishi isn’t giving up on performance cars but has stated that any Evo replacement will be very different to past generations of the car, with many suggesting it will be a hybrid SUV not unlike the automaker’s Concept XR-PHEV. Unfortunately, it may be several years still until we see the replacement launched, as Mitsubishi has also said it won’t start development until it has suitable technology. During his latest interview, Swearingen also said Mitsubishi remained committed to the U.S. market despite its small and aging lineup. He said that before the arrival of some next-generation cars, Mitsubishi will launch a more powerful Outlander Sport and a facelifted Outlander. The latter will feature the styling and plug-in hybrid drivetrain of the recent Outlander PHEV Concept-S and will make its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show in April.

Mitsubishi is preparing to send off the Lancer Evolution with a limited-edition model, and a new report gives us a better idea of what to expect when it arrives. Tentatively called Lancer Special Action Model, the limited-edition sedan will feature a significant power boost over the standard Evolution's 291 horsepower. Mitsubishi is keeping full details under wraps but it has hinted the Special Action Model could pack up to 440 horsepower and 412 lb-ft. of torque. The Special Action Model will be based on the GSR trim level, meaning its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine will likely be linked to a five-speed manual transmission. Comprehensive brake and suspension modifications will keep the extra power in check. Visually, the Special Action Model will stand out from a stock Lancer Evolution (pictured) thanks to a more aggressive body kit and alloy wheels wrapped by low-profile tires. The cockpit will be spruced up with features such as a premium audio system and a sport steering wheel. About 2,000 examples of the Lancer Evolution Special Action Model will be built. Mitsubishi has not disclosed when the sedan will be introduced, but sources close to the automaker believe that sales will take place during the Evo's final six months of production in 2015. What's Next? Rumors circulating around the auto industry indicate that the Lancer Evolution will be replaced in spirit by a high-performance SUV, a decision that would fall in line with the company's shift towards a SUV-centric lineup. Don Swearingen, the vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America, has previously confirmed that a true successor is not in the works because the Lancer Evolution's time "has come and gone."

Hi ,

Klinke mich mal kurz ein !

Schade das es kienen EVO mehr gibt aber der war auch ziemlich verwaschen in der letzten Version!
Beim neuen STI fehlt mir auch ne kleine Leistugsspritze !Und die zuverlässigkeit zu wissen der hält locker 200tkm
Subaru bringt ja auch den WRX nicht nach Deutschland der vieleicht Preißlich und im unterhalt für einige im GTI segment interresant wäre !
VW überlegt den Scirocco einstellen !
Dafür soll der neue Golf R mit 400PS kommen als gegenstück zur AMG A-klasse!
Honda Civic Type R mit 2L Turbo Direct einspritzer FWD 1300kg! 2015!
BMW 235i 326PS ,4,8sec 100k/mh! Preiß43T€
Audi S3 300PS 4,8sec 100k/mh 43t€
BMW und Toyota basteln ja auch an einem neuen Sportwagen !

Denke der Deutsche Markt wird durch die ganzen Auflagen und Tüv Au Grenzwert für CO2 zu teuer bei den wenigen Stückzahlen !
Andere machen das mit dem Flottenverbrauch weg !
Subaru hat wenigstens einen XV Hybrid also geht doch !

P.S. Aber vieleicht überrascht uns auch Subaru und alles wird besser !

Gruß Marc

Welches der Auto vermittelt denn die 200000km Gewissheit....

Der war gut

wird das jetzt der Nachfolger?

Mitsubishi will be bringing a new plug-in hybrid crossover concept to the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, which the automaker says hints at its future direction, both in terms of styling and technology. Apart from a pair of teaser images, the only information we have is that the concept will come with two-wheel drive, a plug-in hybrid setup and a crossover body. Looking at the teasers, it’s clear the new concept is an evolution of the XR-PHEV concept that we first saw at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. Like the XR-PHEV, the new concept for Geneva is likely a preview of the next-generation Outlander Sport. Why the interest in a concept that likely previews a new Outlander Sport? Because Mitsubishi has also shown us a version of the previous XR-PHEV with the Evolution name tagged on, and this performance-oriented crossover concept, complete with S-AWC all-wheel drive, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and plug-in hybrid power, may just be a preview of the car that will eventually succeed the Lancer Evolution which bows out of the market this year. We should have more details soon as the Geneva Motor Show will be getting underway on March 3. To see what else will be at the Swiss show, head to our dedicated hub. In related news, Mitsubishi is expected to use February’s Chicago Auto Show to debut a new model, tipped to be a new generation of the Montero. Our sister site The Car Connection has more details.
