New Mitsubishi Prototype-S

26 Feb 2008 - New Mitsubishi Prototype-S – true to type



The new Mitsubishi Prototype S is can trace it genealogy to the original 2005 Concept-Sportback.

Indeed, the prototype remains close to its original inspiration, and closely previews the forthcoming Lancer Sportback.

The new Mitsubishi Prototype S sports a variation of Lancer’s trademark “Jet Fighter” at the front. Other distinguishing features include a Lancer Evolution X style bonnet, Prototype-S specific headlamps and 19” five-spoke alloy wheels.

At the rear, the new Mitsubishi Prototype S follows the same design theme explored with Concept-Sportback with a very fast lift gate finished by Sportback’s trademark colour-keyed roof spoiler.

Its elongated rear combination lamps widen the stance of the car as they wrap around the rear wings.

The new Mitsubishi Prototype S interior displays a very continental flair with its twin-hood meters, the black suede finish of the upper dashboard & door panels and the light brown-coloured leather selected for its upholstery, in a mix of plain, perforated and weaved finish.

When launched later in the year, this 5-door hatchback variant of the new Lancer family will represent 80% of the forecasted Lancer volume in the UK.
