Dare To Bid: Own The Last Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X For A Good Cause

Sep 09, 2016 04:31 AM EDT | Staff Reporter

As car enthusiasts know, some months ago, the automotive world bid the legendary Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X goodbye with no replacement in sight. Luckily, fans of the car models will have the opportunity to own the last one at hand through Ebay auction - and for a good cause too.

The Last Quality Evo Around

The Lancer Evolution has been one of the fastest and most effective vehicles ever made thanks to its 2.0-liter MIVEC engine riding since 2007. Over 10 generations, it has proven that one doesn't need to spend a fortune on a premium brand to drive a fast, agile, fun and exciting vehicle.

Recall that Mitsubishi built a run of 1,600 “Final Edition” models to celebrate the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X's ten-generation run. Mitsubishi promised that the EVO nameplate will have more generations but it will be very different from the former models, making them extinct. And considering all the scandal Mitsubishi is embroiled in today, there are doubts that these new generations quality would be at par with the legendary EVO model.

Dare To Bid At Ebay

In addition to the historic nature of the auction, the brand didn't miss the opportunity to give a solidarity action so the proceeds will go to charity. The auction has been opened today at 9 a.m. and will close on Thursday, 15 September at the same time. All proceeds from the auction will go to Feeding America Riverside, San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.

For the development of the series, the boys from Mitsubishi have used the best manufacturers of components and ensure that at least the last unit of the model was forged in style. The last unit of the model has finished with pearlescent white paint and a black roof.

In addition to this, the last Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X features mounted alloy wheels, a discrete body kit, bi-xenon headlights, sport seats in red, interior trimmed in black leather and the plate number US1600, identifying it as the end of the Final Edition.

How much would you bid for the last Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X? Recently, a dealer was selling the first of the 1,600 Lancer Evolution Final Editions for $88,888.

In a few days, we will know how much is the last one.
