Preview: Mitsubishi Prototype X

We were pretty excited about the new Lancer when we caught a glimpse of it earlier this week. The economy sedan should be a big seller for the company, but the enthusiast draw to the Lancer line is the high-performance Lancer Evolution, or Evo. Today Mitsubishi revealed that along with displaying the new Lancer at the Detroit auto show next month, it will also show a “Prototype X” concept that will serve as the basis for the next Evo.

IN a cartoon it looks cool.... in reality very goofy.

does it have 3 intakes on the hood or are the "reflections" playing tricks?

I think it's 2 extractors and an intake?

"hmmm... this thing isnt getting enough air to the engine to keep it from over-heating at its 15,000 rpm redline... but how to fix this..."

"well we could take away that part of the grill opening thats not letting any air in... make the whole grill functional and itll probably look kinda cool..."

"no no... that makes far too much sense... let me think about this... I GOT IT!"

"what?"

"we'll add a third intake on the hood!"

"but wont that look completely ridiculous"

"nah... just make it sink into the hood instead of pop out... and put it behind the other two a little bit... nobody wil notice at all"

"man... this is worse than when i worked at chrysler and that guy designed the Aspen..."

The Concept X looked much better, IMO.
