The all new Lancer just debuted last week here in Aus­tralia, and now com­pre­hen­sive pho­tos of the EVO X have been released by US site Edmunds. It looks like every­thing we expected, the mean­est, biggest and bad­dest look­ing EVO yet with small change in the stel­lar per­for­mance expected from the iconic EVO.

The new EVO is expected for global release on Octo­ber 2nd 2007, and is slated to come with an all alloy engine, new sequen­tial auto­mated twin clutch gear­box, and a stronger body struc­ture, tuned as a com­pre­hen­sive race ready pack­age. Edmunds claims the EVO X will be released in more than one ver­sion, Stan­dard and MR, though this is unlikely for the Aus­tralian mar­ket. Expect the new EVO to be avail­able in one ver­sion in Aus­tralia, sup­ple­mented by it’s new ‘lit­tle brother’ the Ral­liart Lancer, which is known to be another turbo offer­ing from Mitsubishi.

The bat­tle is heat­ing up between Sub­aru and Mit­subishi with the STi due out very soon. For this rea­son, expect the EVO X’s pric­ing to be priced very very close to the WRX.

Ohh, and don’t for­get to read and drool over Edmunds First Drive Review of the EVO X too!
