TOKYO : October 14, 2008 - Mitsubishi has already released its first major addition to its performance flagship, the Lancer Evolution X.



Mitsubishi have tacked on a pair of Recaro front pews, a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate stereo and HDD sat-nav system to the GSR and called it the GSR-Premium, which now takes up a position at the top of the Evo tree.


18-inch BBS alloys and body-coloured vents feature on the outside, however power and transmission options remain the same. That means you still get the same 221kW 4B11 turbo I4 used in other spec levels of Evo X, as well as the choice of either a 5-speed manual or Mitsubishi's excellent twin-clutch SST gearbox.


You also get the finely-honed Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs that feature in the regular GSR too, so all you grip fiends out there need not worry.


Offered with either a five-speed manual or six-speed Twin Clutch SST transmission, the GSR-Premium will be priced at the equivalent of $47,768-$50,279.
