[spyshots]Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII

It may not seem long since the launch of the Evo VII, but number VIII is on the way - January 2003 for American buyers, slightly later for the UK. American dealers received their first top-secret preview in Las Vegas a week or so ago and, in the meantime, prototypes are out testing.

Our pictures indicate that Evo VIII - based on the bodyshell of the next-generation Cedia saloon (2004) - looks a little more aggressive than the VII, with a new front grille and bumper and a more swept-back rear window. There will be more substantial changes under the bonnet, however: a remapped ECU will bring power up (to an estimated 280 bhp for entry-level US models) and revised active yaw control will sharpen driving dynamics even further. GSR versions are set to receive a new six-speed manual gearbox, and stripped-out RS models will have an ultra-close-ratio five-speed box, with rally use specifically in mind.

Evo VIII will have to contend with the new Impreza WRX - on its way with less controversially-styled headlights and a power upgrade for 2003. It's going to be fun deciding which car has the edge...

actually i believe the evo was designed to have smaller wheel sizes... i don't think the wheel wells can take too much i believe... if you look at U.S. edition lancer oz rally crap addition they all have tiny wheels... im guessin you can't fit much more then a 16... i dunno tho... need to do some research on the car...

they could have designed the wheel wells better. I mean, you could put 18's into the EVO VI.

the new one reminds me of older volkswagens -_- and even they grew out of the little wheels.

smaller wheels, means better wheel spin.
