Cosworth gives us a rare look at the Mitsubishi 4B11 being pushed to its limits on their engine dyno. I will never tire of seeing glowing hot manifolds. Check the video out:

AMS Performance transforms a brand-new, stock 2010 EVO X GSR into a One Lap of America contender for a very honorable charity: the Kids with Cancer Society.

The Evo X will be run in the 2011 One Lap of America event and will be striving to be in the top 10 overall standing. Plans are also in the works to campaign the car as a Street Class entry in the 2011 Redline Time Attack series which typically runs from late February to October and Barry, Sean and Chris will be teaming up to drive and support the events along with assistance from AMS. If time and resources permit the vehicle might also compete in the 2011 Targa Newfoundland rally.

Jason Macgill and his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

In the latest MyRideIsMe.com post, Enomoto-san features Jason Macgill’s Tomei Powered – Sponsored Evo X

It’s a fantastic build, not just for show, but a real performer featuring the latest Tomei Powered modifications and Robispec suspension. Obviously a 4b11 fan, his daily driver is a Lancer Ralliart Sportback.

Jason is no stranger to Mitsubishis having been through an Evo VIII and Evo MR in Time Attack competitions and rolling through Southern California’s Show Circuit with Team Hybrid. But when the X hit the U.S. Jason was first in line.

Ben Stewart at Popular Mechanics asks us Does it stack up against competitors from Hyundai and Nissan? We think there’s more than enough room in the small-utility market if it grows by 480% (like Mitsubishi forecasts). In many regards the Sport is a just a shortened Outlander and we know it is a good platform, but the eco-friendly naturally aspirated 4B11 won’t make this a barnstormer. Luckily everyone is anxiously looking for a 4B11T and maybe Mitsubishi will get the message.

Entry-level crossovers like the new Outlander Sport deliver good value. The Sport won’t be in Mitsubishi dealerships until October, but the company says the ES will start at less than $19,000, and even the heavily equipped SE probably won’t top $25,000. Fuel economy is promised to be equally competitive, as ES models should deliver 31 mpg on the highway thanks in part to a slippery 0.32 coefficient of drag. The Outlander Sport is certainly an attractive crossover, with a supple suspension and smart interior, but it would be even more attractive with a turbocharged 237 hp engine under the hood. Let’s hope a Ralliart version is in the works.

With the Lancer Evolution likely turning hybrid-diesel (yes really) there might be more chance for the 4B11T to find its way into the Outlander Sport. We’ll be first in line for a Evolander Sport, thankyouverymuch.
