Mitsubishi will unveil its vision of the future next month at the Geneva Motor Show when it debuts its Prototype-X concept. The firm will also display what the firm was up to 90 years ago by showcasing an exact replica of Mitsubishi’s Model-A at Geneva. The Model-A represented Japan’s first attempt at mass-volume passenger-car production when it was launched in 1917.
The concept Mitsubishi will show in Geneva, the Prototype-X, will serve as a teaser for the next-generation Lancer Evolution. The first model in the new series will offer a turbocharged version of Mitsubishi’s aluminum 2.0-liter powerplant used in the 2008 Lancer sports sedan.
The scandal-ridden company was on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago. At least now it looks like it will be around for at least a few more years.
