Mitsubishi's head of Global product Gayu Eusegi has delivered what could be the most devastating news to car enthusiast.The Lancer Evolution series is Dead!

The Lancer Evolution X will be the last Evo the Japanese automaker will ever builds. Eusegi says the move is part of a shift in strategy to put the company's product focus on EV technology.

 It goes without saying that the fun-yet-fuel-swilling Evo just doesn't fit that mindset, particularly since it apes a rally car that no longer exists.

The finale,EVO 10.
Despite the Evo's huge popularity, Mitsubishi apparently isn't scared of the step and says it's confident that consumers will glom on to the idea and rally behind the brand. By killing the Evo, they're making their intentions plain to an increasingly environmentally-conscious car-buying public.
