Remember the sketches of the car which we referred to as the Lancer Sportback last week. Well the car will be named Prototype-S when it debuts this March at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
The car itself is basically a production version of the Concept-Sportback that debuted at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, and the 5-door hatchback Lancer is destined for the European market according to Mitsubishi's press release. With this press release some details revealed which we didn't know last week.
The Prototype-S is powered by the same 2.0L turbo four-cylinder MIVEC engine that debuted earlier this month in the Lancer Ralliart. It produces 235 horsepower and 253 ft-lbs. of torque, mated with Mitsubishi's Twin Clutch SST transmission and sent to all four wheels via a full-time 4WD system using the automaker's Active Center Differential. That means, the Prototype-S is basically a hatchback version of the Lancer Ralliart
