Mitsubishi Concept-X

The Mitsubishi Concept-X was a concept car that Mitsubishi Motors presented at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show, held from 21 October to 6 November 2005, as the next generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The company said the road car that followed, the Lancer Evolution X, would have a completely newly developed chassis and computer system, a brand-new engine and a new all-wheel-drive system. A related Mitsubishi Prototype-X concept made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where the press reported a rumour that it was only a lightly altered Lancer Evolution X and that the production model would differ very little from it. The Concept-X is therefore best understood as the public preview of the tenth Lancer Evolution rather than as a model that was ever sold under its own name.
