Like the new EVO X but you need somewhere to put your dog? Look no further, Mitsubishi will be debuting the production version of Lancer Sportback (AKA Prototype-S) with the rest of the Ralliart range at this years Paris Motor Show.
The Ralliart Sportback will feature the same twin Clutch SST automated transmission and Active Center Differential (ACD) as the EVO X and will also be powered by the same turbocharged 2 litre, 4 cylinder engine, which has been detuned to achieve 240hp and 343 Nm of torque. Nothing to worry about, I doubt it’ll be long for after market tuners to unlock the engines full potential.
Handling wise we can expect it to be good, as the AWD system is taken from the previous EVO IX, a car that has proven to be able to carry insane speeds through corners.
This is going to be a great car, with 5 door practicality, very sporty looks and hopefully all at reasonable price, It’s definitely going to be a very good alternative to the softened WRX.
I have a dog and a big one at that, he didn’t fit in the Colt Ralliart, but if I can jam him in the boot of one of these, I know where my money is going.
