What Changed

The Lancer Ralliart model returns for the 2009 model year. Bridging the gap from the base Lancers to the Lancer Evolution, the Ralliart now features Mitsubishi's twin-clutch SST gearbox, full-time 4WD and limited slip differentials. Power is provided by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 235-bhp. Ralliart models wear distinctively styled front and rear bumper and a ducted aluminum hood. GTS models receive a new 2.4L four-cylinder and distinct instruments.
