Sorry if this is a re-post, but found an interesting article on carpoint who claim that mitsubishi were due to release a TL ralliart AWD with 180kw...wtf happened?

A range topping higher performance TL Magna Ralliart - with around 180kW of power and all wheel drive - is due to arrive about next June.

It obviously fell through, maybe because of poor sales.

I wish they just put the 180kw motor in the TL/TW Vr-X motor instead of the 163 motor

If you're lucky enough to source the parts, you could do it to your own motor or do an engine swap.

wtf happened?
FWD Ralliarts were sitting in dealers for months, not selling - thats what happened!

I dont think much has changed since.

What did mitsubishi think would happen if they never advertised them?
