Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is a sports sedan by Mitsubishi.

Overview
The Lancer Evolution X sedan features a newly designed 4B11T 2.0L (1,998 cc) turbocharged, all-aluminium inline-4 GEMA engine. Power and torque depend on the market but all versions have at least (JDM version). The American market version has slightly more. The UK models will be reworked by Mitsubishi UK, in accordance with previous MR Evolutions bearing the FQ badge. Options for the UK Evolutions are expected to be between and.

Two versions of the car are offered in the U.S.: the Lancer Evolution MR, with a 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift transmission (TC-SST). The other version is the GSR which has a 5-speed manual transmission system. The car also has a new full-time all-wheel drive system named S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), an advanced version of Mitsubishi's AWC system used in previous generations. The S-AWC uses torque vectoring technology to send different amounts of torque to the rear wheels.

It also features Mitsubishi's new sequential semi-automatic six speed SST twin-clutch transmission with steering-mounted magnesium alloy shift paddles. It has replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission, hence the SST version replacing the GT-A version (which was used in Evolution VII and Evolution IX Wagon). A five speed manual gearbox is also available. The new Lancer Evolution also incorporates Mitsubishi's next generation RISE safety body.

The Evolution X went on sale October 1, 2007 in Japan, January 2008 in the USA, February in Canada (as the first version of Evolution in Canada), and in March 2008 in the UK. The Twin Clutch SST version was available in Japan from November 2007. Europe followed with sales in May, with the GSR and MR versions included along with the Premium Package. The introduction of the 2010 MR-Touring moved the car even further upscale. Leather and a Moonroof became standard while revising the rear spoiler to just a lip spoiler.

Asphalt Nitro
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X made its Asphalt debut in Asphalt Nitro. It is the slowest Class C car in the game The car has a minimum rank of 870 and maximum of 1354. All of the car's performance in this game is identical to the car's Asphalt 8: Airborne rendition, as discussed below.

In the J2ME version of the game, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is the car the player begins with. Curiously, the car is placed before Nissan 370Z, despite the fact that the Lancer has better raw performance in the Android version of Asphalt Nitro.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X was added in the Car Mastery Update as a high-end Class D car, with a starting rank of 870 (shared with the Audi S4), a MAX rank of 1177, and a MAX+PRO rank of 1354. The car receives +59 from Tuning Kits. It was eventually pushed back to the Research & Development Update for reasons that will be discussed below.

In its initial release, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X's performance wasn't a match compared to the Geely GC9 due to its poor acceleration and nitro efficiency, but was already buffed upon release of the Research & Development Update. Its subpar initial performance was why it was released in the update following its debut instead. As a rival to the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI, it is more efficient in nitro, handling, and drifting, although the WRX STI still has the edge in acceleration and total speed.

With the inclusion of the Mazda RX8 in the Elite Cars Update and other new Class D cars, the Lancer is now little more than a novelty car as it lacks any sort of performance to stand out from its rivals. Tuning the Lancer for low rank Multiplayer matches, unfortunately, does not restore the worthness of the Lancer due to the further imbalanced matchmaking servers caused by the new Multiplayer League format which will match the Lancer against the higher ranked Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic that can easily crush the Lancer, leaving only one use remaining for the Lancer: the Old School and Japanese Dragons collections.

The Lancer costs to buy and  to max out. For September 2016, the Lancer was obtainable as a Daily Bonus reward for 28 consecutive days of log-ins.

However, if players already owned the car prior to September's Daily Bonus reward, they were to instead be given only as compensation. On the Gameloft forums, it was mentioned by the developers that the aforementioned reward was too little. A ticket could be sent to Customer Care, so that the players can receive either or a Monkey's Year Chinese New Year 2016 decal worth.

Asphalt Xtreme
The car was first introduced in a Special Projects event on March 24 2017. The event was supposed to have a duration of 11 days, however multiple reports said to have vanished without further notice at maximum 1 and a half days before the scheduled end.

The Special Project was known to be finished at rank 2,998 (upgrades 4/2/2/2 as shown in this video), however it seems this was more due to AI mistakes than good driving. Other users have reported that even at rank 3,675 (upgrades 9/5/5/7) the final boss is hard or impossible to beat.

During the week before easter, the car was exceptionally available for sale for, which is rougly equivalent to 55$ IRL.
