Mitsubishi Lancer Evo returns
But only in the digital world, as Mitsubishi continues to rule out resurrecting the iconic road-legal rally carThere is still no sign of a long-hoped-for return of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo as the Japanese car-maker works on next-generation electric powertrains that have been confirmed as including high-performance variants.
But at a time when the hotly-anticipated new-generation 2021 Subaru WRX is taking shape, that hasn’t stopped photoshop maestro Rain Prisk from producing these fresh renders that are as close as anyone’s going to get to a sub-$60,000 super-sedan from the triple-diamond brand.
In the short term, at least.
The Evo has been missing from showrooms worldwide since all 1000 units of the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final Edition were snapped up, including 150 in Australia.
