Mitsubishi Evo X unveiled - and Road and Track's renderings of the Subaru WRX STI

The good folks over at Mitsubishi have unveiled this picture of an 'exterior styling study' for the Evolution X (Evo X for us in the USA).

Expect this to be identical to the production Evo that we'll see later this year, packing 300-ish horsepower, and more electronic do-dads than you can shake a stick at (including an available dual-clutch automatic similar to the DSG sold by VW).

Also, today Road and Track put an article up on their website showing renderings of the new Evo (so you can compare against the official pic above) as well as their take on what the next WRX STI will look like.

Enjoy.

Mitsubishi Evo X spied

We're getting close to an official unveiling of the next Mitsubishi Evo, but until then, we have to make due with spy shots.

Over at LeftLane News, they have a few new spy shots of a disguised Evo undergoing testing.

Expect a turbo version of the 2.0l 'world engine' developed with Chrysler and Hyundai pumping out 300-ish horspower and routing all that juice through all 4-wheels through a manual transmission or an available paddle-shifted automatic.

On-sale date should be 1Q08.
