Thats such a lie, someone just photo shopped the regular Evo X pictures that Mitsu released! Boo-erns

Soooo sexy.

Sorry, but no. That X was at the tokyo auto show.

What Transmission and what are the numbers LOL...I really like that wing and Intercooler I know the Wing just has some logoing on the side but thats pretty damn cool....

i didnt noptice that the evo was photo choped, lol so what are the real diff going to be?

I think u'll find that shadowsong6 is right mate, i don't think that is photoshopped, im sure i saw that car in Redline the other week!

i dont know any more lol

I doubt they'll release a Ralliart Evo X ever. Most of those parts are tacked on and can be bought right now.

I see no point in releasing one anyway.

Fair point

BUT........its a real RA evo...think about that.

yeah, but what makes this EVO X woth standard parts any different to another, like a vielside?

Veilside's never won a WRC. In fact, I don't think Veilside has won anything worthy outside the Super Taikyu. Their Fortune series of body kits is badass though.

yeah thats for sure

I just fail to see a need for a RA Evo. Someone explain why we need it, how much it should cost and what could possibly be added?

I suppose its not what they could add... but what they can strip to save weight. ;)

That is a fair point, but anyone can strip off some metal here and there to reduce weight. What would be the ideal mod(s) for RA to do to make their X better than all the rest?

I would guess that you have all seen this by now, but I duno doesn't sound like it..

Exactly. That RR RalliArt X that WAS at TAS, was on display showing the "add-ons" that one can purchase for the X. If I read and looked at everything correctly, nothing added performance. Aside for the suspension that was on the car (which was undesclosed info) the car was stock. Some RalliArt seats, decals, cf mirrors, cf front bumper insert, cf ducts where foglights would be...etc etc. Even the wheels are the base X GSR Enkei 12 spoke wheels. They were just re-finished black for appearance. You can purchase the 'RalliArt' center-caps to swap out the Mitsu emblem caps. So for Mitsu to put this car out as a packaged vehicle, would be a waste of resources on their part, especially finacially.

Exactly! We need tech details on this car, because otherwise we can only take it as stock with bolt-on accesories

So basically you would mainly be paying for cosmetics just so your Evo said Ralliart..lol

Yep exactly my point
