In our rush to talk all about the extensive new features of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, most of us have forgotten that Mitsubishi has also announced the new Lancer Ralliart. The Ralliart is a detuned Evo X, with a much simpler all-wheel drive (not from the Evo IX, as the press over-simplifies), no fender flares, smaller tires and wheels, smaller brakes, and much less HP and torque. You might compare it to the Subaru WRX in the marketplace, but it's actually far more sophisticated than that car.
On our companion site EvoXenthusiast.com, we've added a series of pictures and the 1 press release that Mitsubishi has provided so far. We've also got a very high-res picture of the engine compartment, and it's interesting to note the relocated airbox (much smaller) and the battery under the hood instead of the trunk (since the Ralliart doesn't share the same floorpan as the Evo, and also so that it can be offered in hatchback form one day).
Expect a lot more detail from Mitsubishi soon, as it goes on sale in a few months.
Follow the link EvoXenthusiast.com for the full set of pictures of the Ralliart, along with extensive imagery and detailed information on all Evos right from the start. Currently, the site has 194 megs of JPGs and several hundred web pages.

This will be a popular car with tuners, who will leverage Evo knowledge to unlock hidden horsepower.

How about the unusual new color?

Looks like an Evo inside! The Recaros are optional and the sophisticated TC -SST (minus the Super Sport mode) is the only tranny available.
