Mitsubish is bringing out a stripped down version of the EVO presumably for motorsports use, kind of like the JDM Impreza WRX STi Type-C (or the JDM EVO RS).

It weighs 146 lbs less than the regular EVO and replaces the open front diff with a helical limited-slip. Items removed are the wing; HID lights (replaced with halogens); rear wiper; air conditioning; ABS; power motors for the windows, doors, locks and side mirrors; the entire audio system; trim in the trunk; vanity mirrors; rear assist grips; map lights; lots of sound-deadening material and even that little piece of leather wrapping that goes around the parking brake lever. It's going to be priced at "under $27k." The only external clues that it's an RS are the lack of the wing and unpainted black plastic door handles and side mirrors.
