Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition announces the end of an era - Digital Trends
Late last year, Mitsubishi announced plans to send off the Lancer Evolution with a limited-edition model called Final Edition. Although the U. S. -spec version of the sports sedan hasn’t been unveiled yet, the Japanese-spec model went on sale a couple of days ago. When viewed from the outside, the Final Edition stands out from a stock Lancer Evolution thanks to a black chrome radiator grille, gloss black trim on the lower front bumper and the air vent bezels as well as a model-specific emblem on the trunk lid.

Mitsubishi has not made any major mechanical modifications, meaning the Final Edition carries on with a turbocharged 2. 0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 291 horsepower and 300 foot-pounds of torque. The turbo four sends power to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system called Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) in Mitsubishi-speak. Just 1,000 examples of the Final Edition will be available in Japan, and Mitsubishi expects that they will all be spoken for in a matter of hours. Sadly, Mitsubishi will not introduce a direct successor to the Lancer Evolution. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
