A “Final Edition” (FE) trim was offered after Mitsubishi announced that they will stop production of the Lancer Evolution. In the 2015 model year, the FE trim was made. It had special production badges that were put on the center console indicating which number it is of the 1,600 made for the U.S. Being based on the GSR trim, a 5-speed manual transmission was mandatory. It also featured a black roof, “Final Edition” emblems, darker Enkei wheels and power was increased from 291 hp to 303 hp.
Soon after the end of the Lancer Evolution’s production run, Mitsubishi announced that the already-outdated CY2A Lancer (of which the Lancer Evolution X is based on) would cease production in 2016 with no successor (except in Taiwan, Philippines, and other Chinese-speaking markets), ending Mitsubishi’s involvement in the highly-competitive compact car segment.
