"When Mitsubishi designed an all-new Lancer, the basis of the Evolution X, they built a healthy dose of pure aggression into the bodywork. This suits the Evo just fine, as it’s been beefed up in the performance department too. The heart of the matter is the new 2-liter turbo-charged four cylinder that uses an aluminum block for the first time in an Evo, which saves an important 26 lbs. even with the addition of features like dual variable valve timing and a timing chain. In addition to saving weight, the new engine makes even more power, a total of 295 horsepower. But that’s not all—aluminum also finds its way into the body of the Evo, and less weight and more power necessarily equals better performance. That formula is proven emphatically by the ability of the all-wheel drive Evo to scramble to 60 mph in just 5 seconds, and pull nearly a full lateral G on the skid pad. The overall impression the Evo leaves you with is that it could tackle any corner you can throw at it, and this is an impression borne out by the experience behind the wheel."—Official description[1]
The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR - abbreviated as "Lancer GSR '08" - is an all-wheel drive sport compact by Mitsubishi.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 2 as part of the March Car Pack and as standard in all subsequent main series titles including Forza Motorsport 6: Apex.
It appears in Forza Horizon 4 as part of the Mitsubishi Motors Car Pack.
Synopsis[]
The Evolution X is the tenth and final generation of the Lancer Evolution series that replaced the Evolution IX for model year 2008.
It is based on the 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer that offers a stiffer but heavier platform than its predecessors, while also featuring a more refined interior.
It dropped the long-lived 4G63T engine in favor of the aluminum block 4BBT engine with 305 hp (227 kW) that is connected to the newly developed S-AWC all-wheel drive system. Transmission choices were limited to a five-speed manual gearbox and six-speed dual-clutch automatic.
For model year 2015, a Final Edition model became available that marked the final production run of the Lancer Evolution series.
