Lancer Ralliart

A detuned and cheaper version of the Evo X was announced at the 2008 Detroit auto show. This model became available for purchase in the United States in October, 2008. 177 kW (237 hp), 343 N·m (253 lb·ft) of torque.

For 2009, the Ralliart is available exclusively with the TC-SST transmission,^[17] although Mitsubishi has suggested the possibility of a 5-speed transmission at a later date. The TC-SST transmission equipped in the Ralliart offers 2 modes (Normal, Sport) rather than the 3 modes the same transmission offers in the Lancer Evolution X MR (Normal, Sport, S-Sport). The car also includes a simplified version of the Evolution X's AWD system (taken directly from the EVO IX), with a simple "mechanical limited slip" rear differential.^[18] According to Edmunds.com the Ralliart model underperformed the GTS in certain tests, including the skidpad, slalom, and braking distance. However, the Ralliart outperformed the GTS in other tests, including 0-60 and the quarter mile.^[19]
