The Lancer Evolution are affordable rally cars, that feature all-wheel drive. Mitsubishi provide new drivers with a great driving experience with their cars.

Rumor has it that the Japanese car manufacturer is in process of preparing a successor to their Evo X model. The new model will most likely be called the XI, which is roman numerals for eleven.

The current model on offer the XI looks stellar, however, most would not like the simple body kit. The new model will be muscular yet agile, maintaining the Japanese manufacturers core values.
