The Nissan has confirmed plans to make his heir, but specifies that it will not develop the project further along the same road the previous ones.

It was early March and I told her about rumors that the next Evo would take the electric road. Today, new voices have emerged reported by Autocar, under which it seems that the choice could fall on a diesel-hybrid powertrain. It matters little, though: the epochal turning point will in any case.

Gayu Esugi, global product director of the house, revealed to the British during the recent Geneva Motor Show, which despite the request for the Evo is still consistent, we should stop moving the center of gravity closer to the field of electric cars, which will be part Mitsubishi strategic development plans.

After strong criticism generated by the news, has taken the field even Osamu Masuko, a number of the house. "As far as the heir to the Lancer Evo X will be the future anti-pollution regulations and market demand to decide on its architecture. Since the needs and demands of the changing market, Mitsubishi is seriously considering the idea of not further develop the model along the lines followed to date, but to change direction.
