Ok so I got to thinking, "what if Mitsu didn't turn into a bunch of pansies? Come on really? You're going to get rid of the Evo all together? What would a new Starion look like?". So I took some cues from the old one (mostly the fenders), put the corporate face on it, and BAM. RWD, 300hp, Turbo, DI V6, $33,000.

Thoughts? Notice the real deep wheels too. I also wanted the big fog lights because I loved those on the old Evos. And they are yellow because real FOG lights ARE yellow. It's not perfect, but it gets the point across.

I don't do this for a living (obviously) just a hobby. Just thought I'd share.

Looks good. Very similar to the GT-R.

Yeah, they have that same giant mouth. This car would be much smaller though. Think, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, little bit smaller then a Mustang.

I like...I probably would have tried to bring in some of the angularity from the later starions/conquest. Always loved the bulging feder/sharp edge looks of those things.

Thanks. I tried to incorporate the fenders as much as possible. It def could have been more angular and more aggressive with the fenders. My main goal was just to see what a Lancer would look like as a traditional coupe with Japanese RWD proportions.

Its cool, but it the back 1/3 gives me a Gen-coupe look.
