2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

2008 Detroit Auto Show

Mitsubishi has always been right on the heels Subaru's Impreza WRX STI with it's own Lancer Evolution, but the Subaru Impreza WRX has always been pretty much unchallenged. Well, that's about to change. The new Lancer Ralliart gets a 235ish-horsepower version of Mitsubishi's 2.0 liter engine, along with all-wheel-drive. As for the old Lancer Ralliart's formula, no, it's not dead -- the "big-block" Lancer lives on in the upcoming 2009 Lancer GTS 2.4.
