This weekend's X-Games 16 is starting to become a star-studded event full of Formula Drift's best drivers. We already know Tanner Foust and his experience with the X-Games, and now Samuel Hubinette and Andrew Comrie-Picard (Formula Drift driver and teammate) will both be driving NOS Energy Drink Mitsubishi EVOs on BFGoodrich tires.
The NOS Energy Drink EVO is not new to X-Games but it has been rewrapped for this year (as pictured above). Rumor has it that Hubinette's practice was cut short when he hit a berm and threw the EVO up on two wheels. So it'll be interesting to see how the competition plays out in the Super Rally with Hubinette, Picard, Verdier and Foust battling it out on the rally course rather than the drift course.
AutoGuide will be sure to update with X-Games news and results, especially if anything flips over!
UPDATE: Ready to match the EVO entry, Subaru has also just released details on it's three car effort for the X-Games, with Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra and Sverre Isachsen all piloting 500-hp Subaru WRX STIs.
Mitsubishi has just released some exciting video of its new EVO X SE (Special Edition) model, that combines many of the great MR trim equipment with the more affordable price of the GSR model.
The SE model, like all EVOs, is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder and comes equipped with the MR's advanced Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission. Also included are the MR's two-piece Brembo brake rotors, Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs, not to mention a rear lip spoiler. Inside there are heated cloth Recaro seats.
Official pricing has yet to be released, but the EVO SE is tipped to start at just under $36,000, which is about $2,000 more than the five-speed manual GSR and about $3,000 less than the current MR model.
Lately it seems like the only news coming out of Mitsubishi is related to tiny electric cars, so we're extra excited to report the addition of a new model in the Japanese automaker's lineup that will have car guys rejoicing. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE will debut later this year as somewhat of a cross-breed between the TC-SST transmission-equipped MR model and the more entry-level GSR. In essence it will be a GSR model, but with the dual-clutch transmission as well as the MR's Bilstein shocks and rear diffuser. Also included will be the GSR's cloth Recaro seats.
And now for the best part: the price. Official numbers haven't been release yet, but the SE model is tipped to start at just under $36,000, which is about $2,000 more than the five-speed manual GSR and about $3,000 less than the current MR model.
Password JDM first established themselves as one of the premiere importers of rare and fine JDM goods. This author remembers when he had to trek over there to pick up a JDM Integra front end for one of our own project cars (back in the Modified Mag days). Their shop was filled with front clips, engines, fenders, hoods, bumpers, brakes, motors, etc. It was like a JDM fanatic's dream come true. But recently Password JDM has expanded not only the lines they carry, but have made some products of their own. Most notable of these lines are their dry carbon/kevlar composite components. From aerodynamics to body panels to engine accessories, Password JDM has it covered for carbon.
Newest to their catalog is a fantastic line of Mitsubishi Evolution X carbon engine panels. Virtually everything that's in sight has been replaced with lightweight, fashionable carbon fiber and it makes for some sickening eye candy. You can clearly see the high quality in the carbon fiber utilized in Password JDM's products and the airbox and intake combination is just to die for.
So if you want some good 'ol high quality carbon fiber that's done right, make sure to check out what Password JDM has for you. We've personally never had anything but good experiences with them, so we can only imagine how nice their carbon fiber is under the hood.
