The latest Evo and only the second to carry the MR (Mitsubishi Racing) name is available as a saloon (GSR and RS spec) or a wagon(GT or GT-A spec). Unique to the Evo IX MR are various styling changes including a new, more aggressive front spoiler and new body colours. Mechanically the car remains largely unchanged from the Evo IX.

    The Evo IX MR also marks the end of the 4G63 engine which has been at the heart of every Evo to date. The Evo X will be produced with an all new engine. The Evo IX MR will also be limited to a production run of just 1,500 cars in total.

    The Evo IX MR is yet to be officially announced as a UK car, although a number are expected to be officially imported by CCC and sold through the Ralliart dealer network as FQ-360 cars.

      MLR 2006 Calendar - Out Now
    It’s taken a while to pull it all together, but we’re pleased to announce that the new 2006 MLR calendar is available now. The calendar features a different design from 2005, but remains full colour double A4 landscape format, and highlights MLR members’ cars and MLR events throughout 2005.

    Last year you may remember we sent all MLR members a copy in place of the Christmas edition of the MLR magazine – well this year the good news is that we’ve produced a 44 page Christmas edition of the mag, and the new calendar! However, the slightly less good news is that we regret we can’t do it all for free, so the calendar will be sold at cost through the MLR Shop; £2.50 for members and £4.00 for non members.
     
     
     
      Mitsubishi Concept-X

    The MLR are lucky to have managed to get hold of a press pack from the 2005 Tokyo Motor show. For all the Concept-X press pictures and the press pack just click here.

      Amazing New Norris Design Demo Car
    The MLR were recently invited to Norris Designs for an exclusive preview of their new demo car, click here for a brief rundown of the car and some pictures as the final build nears completion.

    With a power to weight ratio of nearly 800bhp per ton, this Evo is almost 300bhp per ton more powerful than the old Norris Design Evo 7 demo car!!

    To build an Evo this light has meant the car has undergone some major weight loss and incredible engineering, including a substantial amount of the bodyshell being removed to make the car shorter and lower. In fact it is 10inches shorter and 3inches lower than a standard Evo 9 shell. With the shell customised this much, the rear doors have been removed creating the world's first Short Wheelbase 2-Door Evo....

      A Wet Haynes, But Still Good Fun
    The recent MLR sprint at Haynes proved to be a little too wet for any new records to be set, but was still great fun. The conditions did allow for some fantastic driving and didn't affect the battle between MT-Evo and Gaz@CPP for top honours.
