Yahoo Autos Mitsubishi Will Sell the Last Evolution Ever on eBay
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution production has finally come to an end. Despite the car's near decade-long run, we're sad to see it go. Moreover, Mitsubishi has confirmed there won't be a replacement, meaning the 1600th Final Edition car will be the last production Evolution ever. To celebrate the occasion, Mitsubishi of North America is planning to auction off the car on eBay Motors to benefit charity.
The "Final Edition" is the latest (and last) iteration of the tenth-generation Lancer Evolution. While it comes equipped with a few trim upgrades, neat wheels, and a better suspension, it retaines the same two-liter turbocharged inline-four and five-speed (!) transmission it debuted with in 2007. With 303 horsepower and all-wheel-drive, it's still far from slow. However, decade-old technology can only get it so far with today's competition.
The "US1600" car, as Mitsubishi is calling it, will be put up for auction on eBay's "Motors" subsite, for a duration of seven days. The auction will start at 9 a.m. Pacific time September 8th, and all proceeds will go directly to the Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.
While we're sure it'll cost more than one of the first 1599 Final Edition cars, there will no doubt be a crop of devout Evo fans at the ready to pay the premium, no matter what it is.
