Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, what you see in the picture is the next generation Evolution, or should I call it Revolution, because it left it's turbocharger and sporty looks, and turned into a luxury hybrid. Sure it still has the wide body kit and sure it has gained 30 more horsepower thanks to the electric motor which replaced the turbocharger to prevent the lag and deliver instant power without horsepower loss, completely humiliating what is left of turbochargers and superchargers. I know that you hate the idea of
Hybrid badge being stuck right under the
Evolution XI badge, but think of it as the next generation tuners. So on top of the LF-A roadster, Acura NSX (or NSZ), GT-R R36 and the Scion FR-S we will be seeing the Evolution XI. But all the luxury looks and bigger body and the electric motor can and will add 300 more pounds, making it all together about 3900 pounds, 800 more than evo 7, 700 more than evo 8, 600 more than evo 9 and 300 more than the heaviest and the slowest 4B11 evo X. It will still be 4 Cylinders, and there are rumors that it will get back the 4G63 block, rather than using the 4B11. It will have leather seats as an option. Nobody's yet sure about the BBS or Brembo brakes, but I'd rather see O.Z. as an option as it was on previous Evos. This car is promising, but will it actually be as good as Mitsubishi claims? We'll find out next year.
