Officially arriving as an early 2009 model (in the first quarter of 2008), the Evo X will be powered by a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter I4, and will be equipped with an AWD system — complete with stability control.
In the same category as Subaru's WRX, the all-wheel-drive system — known as "Super-All-Wheel Control" (S-AWC) — may make this the best handling vehicle in its class.
Even under the camouflage, we can see that the sheet metal on this test car is identical to that of the Prototype X Concept, although we doubt the LEDs will make it all the way to production, but even the head restraints on this camouflaged car match those on the shiny red concept.
