Report: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring Priced from $40,990

[Administrator]

Mitsubishi has just released details and pricing on the move civilized and luxurious Lancer Evolution MR Touring model and for the first time ever the base MSRP of a Lancer tops the 40k mark. Starting at $40,990, the EVO MR Touring model gets leather Recaros, added soundproofing, a higher resolution digital display and a moonroof. One item has also been deleted from the usual EVO package – the car's significant sized spoiler. Instead it has been replaced with a subtle lip spoiler.

The car also comes with all the goodies you'd expect, like a 291-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a six-speed paddle shift dual-clutch transmission, Brembo brakes, 18-inch BBS wheels and Mitsu's amazing Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) setup.

Mitsu is hoping the new Lancer Evolution MR Touring model will appeal more to typical European sports sedan buyers and it certainly has a price that's in the ballpark. A long list of options are available, like a $1,999 navigation setup. A fully optioned-out model could come close to the $47,000 mark.

Mistu = killing themselves. Not sure why they keep fucking with their Niche market car

I like how the new EVO looks and all, but damn, what a price tag. You could do A LOT to a 3S for $40k+.

[Hard AttacK]

I think the rear end on those looks funny, kinda high or narrow or something. Either way i would pay maybe half

[Joels3000gtsl]

There is no way that will sell for 47,000 to be honest I Bet you will be able to buy one for more like 38 fully loaded

[inperfectdarkness]

so this evo fully optioned is about 1-2k shy of a base corvette in price?

[Import Power]

It is not a 3S, it is not 17 years old, it sticks to the road like a go cart, it has but loads of potential and a huge aftermarket, it responds very well to modifications, the 3S TT sold for MORE 17 years ago.
