Evo's got wider front and back fenders. Also the sides of the intercooler on the ralliart's not covered like the evo, it looked more like a personally modified lancer instead with the intercooler sides showing like this...

I like the grill on this one over the EVO one, the EVO looks too gaudy, this detracts from the crap that's in between the chrome ring. I am a large fan of Audi's grille, hardly anyone is.

Supposedly a detuned EVO X motor. Previously we were hearing that it could be an EVO IX motor/drivetrain.

i hope it is the evo9 engine, much better and more durable than the X. traditional 4g63t, iron block rather than the new unproven all aluminum 4b11t.

you're right, but i'm sure that any different suspension components that the evo has will bolt right on; even upgraded aftermarket parts, so in the end, it could be better than a stock evo!
mitsu is great like that, most parts are interchangeable. for example, right now i'm putting an EVO3 engine into a 1991 dodge colt. it bolts right in. then i'll just take a wiring harness from a turbo talon tsi, swap it with the colt harness and fire it up!

One guy I know has a 4G63 in a Hyundai Accent. Total sleeper (except for the exhaust). The body is all sorts of beat up but the engine and drivetrain always surprises people. He swapped an AWD drivetrain in there as well.
There are so many cars that have been touched with the 4G63 or interchangeable parts.

The new Lancer Ralliart reinforces the sporty identity of the Lancer lineup (Lancer, Lancer Ralliart and Lancer Evolution) with aggressive styling and driving performance that creates a unique product between the Lancer GTS 2.4 and the Lancer Evolution models. The Lancer Ralliart makes effective use of the Lancer's rigid unibody and four-wheel independent suspension by mating this capable chassis to a turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive.
Mechanical
Lancer Ralliart is powered by the new 4B11 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC intercooled and turbocharged engine (also used in the Lancer Evolution) that develops an estimated 235 horsepower. The engine is mated to Mitsubishi's efficient Twin Clutch-SST gearbox that helps enhance the sporty nature of the vehicle by allowing the driver to execute lightning-quick, silky-smooth, paddle-actuated shifts. The TC-SST transmission also operates in fully automatic modes for Normal and Sport driving conditions.
The Lancer Ralliart's full-time 4WD driveline features Mitsubishi's Active Center Differential (ACD). The ACD unit employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring drive torque to the front and rear according to different driving conditions to realize the best balance between steering response and traction characteristics on Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow surfaces.
Lancer Ralliart is also equipped with front helical limited slip differential and a rear differential mechanical limited slip differential.
Design
Elaborating on the basic sporty design and proportions of the Lancer, the Lancer Ralliart exterior is distinguished by its more aggressively styled front bumper design, rear bumper cover, dual outlet muffler and a lightweight aluminum, ducted hood that delivers cooling air to the turbocharger.
The interior design places greater emphasis on function and vehicle control. Lancer Ralliart is equipped with FAST key, Bluetooth® hands-free telephone interface, the same Twin Clutch-SST shifter used on Lancer Evolution, and easily accessible steering column mounted paddle shifters.
Available equipment and options to include: Recaro seats, HID headlights, 650-watt Rockford Fosgate 9-speaker audio system, Sirius satellite radio, power sunroof, and a 30-gigabyte hard drive navigation system with digital music server.
