We were lucky enough to get the chance to check out the production version of the 2009 Lancer Ralliart yesterday and I wanted to share some pics with the community!
This one came in the Rotor Glow Metallic color, and I have to say it looks good. Its hard to tell in the pictures but I think this orange is different from most other metallic orange colors, and Mitsubishi pulled it off well. This Ralliart also came with the Recaro package, which adds the Evo X Recaro seats, Rockford Fosgate sounds system with Sirius satellite radio, and HID headlights.
The styling differences on the exterior are apparent, the car looks good, and sets itself apart from both the base Lancer and the Evo.
The engine bay was very interesting. At first glance it looks almost identical to the Evo X, but we quickly noticed many differences. I think the most apparent was the battery, and the black plastic blow off valve, as well as the now single piece upper intercooler pipe.
Have no fear soon to be Ralliart owners! We are fast at work to learn the ins and outs of the new Ralliart, and we are very excited to see what these will do with a few bolt ons and an Alfred tune!
