According to Edmunds, this car’s “twin-clutch transmission clicks off upshifts measured in milliseconds, so by the end of the quarter-mile, the Ralliart is really feeling its oats with a 14.8-second run at 94.6 mph.” Video after the break.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Prototype S is basically “a 5-door hatchback version of the Lancer that looks to be a Ralliart version of a production car that’s bound for the European market.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
While it doesn’t sound like a 5-door Lancer is being considered for the U.S. market, it wouldn’t be that surprising if Mitsubishi decided to field a direct competitor to the 5-door Subaru WRX in the States
