'X' doesn't mark the spot: Mitsubishi to drop numerical designation on UK Evo



Over nearly two decades, Mitsubishi's Evolution has done exactly what its name implies, with each successive model getting better, and a separate numerical designation affixed to the trunk. However, according to AutoExpress, buyers of the newest Evo in UK will be getting their all-wheel-drive rally rocket bereft of the next Roman numeral, "X" on the boot.

The plain-old Evolution will be anything but when it goes on sale next spring, packing 300+ HP and enough electronics to keep any CES geek catatonic for weeks.
