Lancer sports a new engine

Mitsubishi is getting in early with its bid to boost sales in September when the new registration mark hits the streets.

Keen to cash in on the best sales period of the year, the firm has announced a new Lancer Sport with 2.0-litre engine.

Complete with lowered suspension, alloy wheels and sporty looks, the Lancer Sport starts at £11,524.

For those hoping to live out their Evo IX dreams in the Sport, they'll be in for an abrupt wake-up call when they find the new model only manages 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds and tops out at 124mph.

However, Sport buyers will at least be fingering the same Momo steering wheel as used in the genuine Evo models.

Another sporty deal from Mitsubishi is the Colt Blue. Guess what? It's blue with a blue interior.

It comes with a 1.1-litre three-cylinder engine, has three doors and costs £8,499.
