Mitsubishi Evo XI diesel hybrid gets the green light for 2014 (yawn......)
http://www.worldcarfans.com/11110213...-ahead-in-2014
Next Evo will feature a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of less than 5 seconds
[Please note: images of Mitsubishi Concept-X from 2006 shown]
Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko has confirmed to British motoring magazine Autocar that the next Mitsubishi Evo XI is due in three years and will feature a hybrid drivetrain.
"We will start work on the project next year, and it will be ready within three," Masuko told Autocar. "I have set the goal of developing a sporting car featuring electric power."
Autocar says that the Mitsubishi Evo will be a diesel-hybrid, although, Masuko did not confirm that detail.
With an eye towards cutting emissions but still aiming creating a powerhouse car for the masses, the next Mitsubishi Evo will feature a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of less than 5 seconds while sporting a CO2 quotient of less than 200 g/km.
The 2014 Mitsubishi Evo will also feature an updated version of the S-AWC all-wheel drive system.

As a fan of the Evo I am happy to see this but I thought that Mitsubishi was in the automotive ICU on life support. There were talks that they may be actually pulling out of the US market. IMHO the Evo is their only good car. The rest are over shadowed by better competitors
