Mitsubishi are yet to release official details concerning their Evo X Australian line-up, but if you know where to look…
The Aussie Evo X line-up will feature three variants, the GSR, GSR SS-T and the top shelf MR. As the names suggest the GSR is available with either the new Twin Clutch Sports Shift Transmission (SS-T) or a conventional five-speed manual. Recaro seats along with 18-inch ENKEI alloys are standard fitment.
The Evo X in its ultimate (and most expensive) form is the MR. Buy the MR and you will enjoy a combination Bilstein and Eibach suspension setup along with an upgraded Brembo brake system. You’ll also get 18-inch alloys sporting the revered BBS logo. On the inside, the MR gets leather heated Recaro pews, Mitsubishi’s Multi Communication System and a premium Rockford Fosgate audio system.
In addition to the road going Evo’s, Mitsubishi is also offering The Evo X ‘RS’ Rally/Race model for motorsport competitors. The RS is now available for sale through Team Mitsubishi Ralliart but is not road registerable.
See below for pricing and specifications.

Didn’t the MR used to be the more focused, hardcore version that didn’t include all the luxury goods and in exchange had the carbon fibre go-fast bits etc..?
intereeting that the MR is both a 5sp Man and a SST according to this article
MR is a surprisingly high price - I would have thought this was the on-road price. Guessing you would need another 8K to get it on the road taking it up to a cool 80K odd to drive away.
I like the idea of the stock X coming with recaro seats, however the 5sp manual tranny seems wrong to me. Appears that Mitsu just wanted a further differentiator from the SST when they made that decision, rather than basing it on a good technical basis.
Flying High, that is a mistake many people have made when looking at the 5 speed manual box. The fact is that the box used in the Manual is actually none other than the RS box, Tuff as nails, will cope with punishment and will be recepted well by the motoring public after being sampled.
I get what your saying though, since the IX did have a 6 speed and there is the Release of the new TC-SST box. The thing is you have a conspiracy against the changes that have been made, but the top and bottom of it is, the old six speeder was a little on the weak side and the gear ratios were a touch too long.
if the prices above are true, it’s very dissapointing since this lancer is the best (overall) yet but the pricing is way too high, especially if it’s to compete against the STI and MPS, which is now my top choice for a new car. adding insult to injury could be the “luxury” car tax from the “government” no one voted for!
