We’ve been hearing about it for a while and today we’re hearing about it once again. Mitsubishi is reportedly working on a Lancer Evo sedan with a hybrid powertrain and the car is expected to hit roads within three years. Sources have told What Car? that the decision to go hybrid with the next-generation Evo [...]
Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko confirmed that the brand has plans for a hybrid Evo that will use a diesel-electric powertrain.

It’s always mind-boggling to wonder how Mitsubishi engineers managed to squeeze out almost 300-hp from a small 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Well, if AutoCar is to be believed, the Mitsubishi engineers will be taking the Lacer Evo a step further. Sources have [...]
Mitsubishi keeps teasing us with models that we don’t get in the United States (well, just Evo variants). Today we get new pictures of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400.
