Mitsubishi has released the first official pictures of the forthcoming Lancer Evolution X. The design is based on the concept unveiled at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show.

From the official Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Press Release:

Distinguishing features of the Lancer lineup include a high-rigidity platform that delivers excellent crashworthiness.

The Lancer Evolution X model features Mitsubishi’s S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) traction and handling system, that integrates the control of drive torque and braking management with the four-wheel drive system to improve both handling and stability.

The new lightweight 2.0-liter turbocharged MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing) engine has an aluminum cylinder block and a 6-speed automated manual transmission.

The cockpit design is focused on the driver.
