This is the official Mitsubishi Japan press information from the launch of the Evo IX over there.

Here's some pics, but you can download the full PDF from here. You'll need to install the Acrobat Japanese language pack to make it more readable.

Anyone know Japanese!

From what I can tell the RS is slower than the GSR... how come?

edited to say: yeah I'm a muppet, it's the other way round. I was about to ask how come the VIII GSR was the fastest.. :rucrazy:

 

[DaveG]

Cheers.

But what car is which

Look at the colour key at the bottom of each graph.

 

[Razor]

The shorter the line, the faster it is. Hmm what else - one the bars is the EVO 8 MR RS which (if you believe it) is slightly slower than the IX GSR.

EVO IX RS Fastest
EVO IX GT
EVO IX GSR
EVO VIII MR RS
EVO VIII MR GSR

Sorry Dave - old news

19/03/05

 

[DaveG]

Oh well, worth dragging up again

We may even have a IX at a show coming soon

 

[Razor]

What show would that be, or what day?

 

[DaveG]

Early days yet, but if we get it it'll hopefully be there for JapFest

 

[Razor]

Cheers, if its the car I think it is then its cutting it fine for that date

 

[DaveG]

It's already in the UK

 

[muttmarr]

i was told by my agent that the evo 9 will be a limited run?

is this true?

 

[Razor]

Ah, no need for the Model Report and ESVA if they are just showing it off then.

 

[Razor]

i was told by my agent that the evo 9 will be a limited run?

is this true?

Hmm not really:

GSR 5000
GT 2000
RS 200 (apparently)

I'm talking about JDM spec ones by the way.

 

[muttmarr]

could they release a 9 mr?

is it possiable and what changes could they make?

There will definately be a IX MR for the USDM, but I dunno about JDM / UK

There were pics posted on here a few days back.

 

[Black Knight]

The MR only came about because of the Daimler/chrysler Alliance,
As they are now out of the picture they are reverting to Ralliart branding again.
So the MR cars should be treated as Tommi Maks valuewise.

The EVO 9 MR will come out if Mitsubishi (Japan) want to make a quick buck/filler car before the X comes out. Though as BK says it was a Daimler motivated move.

Hmm.. hasn't Daimler gave most of their shares back to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as part of some compensatory agreement?
