2005 Mitsubishi Concept-X

Original name: 三菱コンセプト-X

The star of the 39th annual Tokyo Motor Show, the Concept-X is the most comprehensive and dynamic performance concept yet developed by Mitsubishi. A first look at the car that will become the tenth-generation Lancer Evolution, Concept-X possesses numerous innovations that are guaranteed to thrill. From a six-speed transmission with paddle shifters to an all-new all aluminum MIVEC-equipped and turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the power train of the future is as serious as the flowing lines that surround it.

Putting this power to the ground is going to be every bit as advanced, with the next generation of Mitsubishi all-wheel drive—S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control)—taking center stage. Along with the Active Center Differential from previous generations, the Concept-X sports the Active Yaw Control of the Japanese-market Evo along with Active Braking Control, Active Steering Control and Roll Control Suspension technologies to create one of the most comprehensive and advanced road-holding systems ever seen. Enhancing the handling further are the aluminum roof and body panels that lower the center of gravity and reduce the moment of inertia at turn-in, improving steering and handling characteristics even more.
