New Evo VIII pic

Well, here it is; the first pic I've come accross of the new Evo VIII, due stateside sometime next year:



Notice the different front fascia: It looks as if it will retain the FMIC, along with the overall look of the current Evo.

Specs are AWD, 2.0L Turbo 16V four @270HP, 6-spd manual, and best of all, it is supposed to also retain the active differential of the current car.

Pricing not yet set; look for a sticker price of $28-30K.

START SAVING UP!!!

Edit: I've also seen this version being called the "2003 Evo" and the "first Evo to head to the US":
Anyone have any concrete info as to which one is THE one we'll get?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Either way, they both look good to me.

The black one is the Evo 8. The yellow one is the Evo 7. We're getting the Evo 8 (the black one) stateside. Hope that helps.

My thoughts exactly, but in my new Road & Track (or was it Motor Trend), they said it was the Evo 8. The Evo 4's and Evo 5's back in the day looked pretty similar too, if I remember correctly.

Yeah that is the Evo 8. There are some spy shots that I posted a while ago. I got them off lancerforums.com.

BTW, rallys are the best!!! along with the touring races

Hey, you're right ...it really does look like a Pontiac! I was sittin there wondering what the front looked like. Why do they have to mess the design up like that? Eeesh.

Obviously you have been living in a cave for some time and have never heard of the Lancer Evo, because basically you are saying you WOULD NOT pay the SAME amount as a WRX to get a better 4wd turbo sedan.

I heard that Mitsu only sells 10,000 EVO's of each model world wide and all the EVO VII's are sold, that's why we will have to wait for an EVO VIII. I also just read that the USA will probably get a mech. diff. to keep the price starting at $29,999. <--- At least its under $30K!!
The front end kind of looks like that new Mitsu SUV coming out as a 2003, I forgot the name though.

EDIT: The Mitsu SUV is the Outlander

That bumper will be changed to US-Spec (better crash protection, and front license plate holder).

Anyway, I would never bust my hard earned money on a f-ucking Lancer Evo. It's just a steroid injected version of the normal Lancer that competes with Civics. It may have impressive performance numbers, but it's no real sportscar.
