Mitsubishi Motors motor sports subsidiary, MMSP, unveils the car that will spearhead its 2004 FIA World Rally Championship campaign, the Mitsubishi Lancer WRC04. A completely fresh design, the new car forms an integral part of a meticulously conceived long-term plan to build on MMSP

won't be lonk till we see that ugly ass wing on a street car, daymn wanabe rallyers, that car looks bad ass though for a race car, not a street car

If that type of spoiler is proven to be far superior to what we have on the Evo road car and such, I can see nothing but good things from mounting it more forwards on road cars too.

I personally think it looks strange (all unexpected things do) but very very refreshing and welcomed. It is there for a reason.. and that is to kick ass.

agreed it will do what it is intended to, IMO it does not belong on a daily driver, if you know what I mean

Just as performance cars do not belong as daily drivers (so I definitely agree).

i saw during the 03 WRC that tommi mikanen was driving subaru, and mitsu didnt even compete... i wonder whos gonna drive the mitsu in 04? maybe he'll come back and win the 04 wrc for mitsubishi like he did all those other times

Tommi M

that is one bad ass rally car.... still... i would love to see tommi back in a lancer... for some reason, he just fits in a mitsu..
(sort of like senna did with mclaren....)

This is a pathetic attempt by Mitsubishi if they really wanted to get back onto the podium. Manual shift (!), no active diff, no sixth gear (I don't care what they say, its necessary, especially on some higher-speed rallies). They also cheaped out on the suspension set-up and brakes.
2004 will belong to the Focus WRC, I'll bet on it.
