A car like this could be considered as a misfit or maverick. Norris Designs are responsible for this creation, a short wheelbase EVO 9. There are so many trick parts on this car but I'll start with the engine. It is powered by a 2.24L long rod high deck engine, it delivers 950bhp and 700lb-ft. Thanks to its low weight of 1180kg the car is capable to go 215mph and does the quarter mile in 9.26 seconds. You can check out the complete spec list on Norris Designs.
But it is not the engine that makes this car special. The fact that the car has a shorter wheelbase and only two doors makes this car a true maverick. I hope to see it in action this year during the 2010 Time Attack season.

WOW! Awesome!!
Legendary Evo!
thats really cool, the canards and rear diffuser look like they hang ten feet off the car lol, but if it works fuck looks
this some crazy stuff! send it to Tsukuba now!
I heard that the AWD system was replaced with the gear from a Skyline GT-R and that the 4G63 is now longitudaly mounted.
Nice 1st ever 2 Door Evo 9 I ahve ever seen
Major complaints about the currently available cars:
The roof is too tall for a sporty appearance.
Everything is a four door family hauler.
Solution:
Norris Designs.
Why doesn't Mitsubishi put the car out in this configuration to begin with?
So this is what Chuck has been upto...
send it to Tsukuba now!
+10
yes motor is longitudinally mounted.
Yes they have turned the block around.

absolutley speechless
It's British!
I wanna see this thing in action!
That is awesome looking!!!!
That Evo is one of a kind. Lovin' this green beast
can't wait til i see the first "Spilner" with 6 canards on the front of his evo.
wasn't this thing on Fifth Gear one time?
Its hardly a Mistsi now , shortened wheel base , roof chop , GTR front & rear diffs , Holinger gear box with GTR transfer case .
Not My Cupa Tea
Plenty of videos on youtube just shame most of the time he cant drive it.
how about putting a spot light on the Japanese shops that built the AWD Evo powered Mirage/Cyborg hatcbacks/coupes??? those are definitiely Misfits/Mavericks
You better do a feature on this Jeroen :p
doesnt look any shorter.. just looks like they welded over where the rear doors used to be?
i'd be interested in how much shorter the car is..
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunctional.
saw this in norway a couple of years ago, one of the best evo's ever!
FEATURE!!!
I would love to see a build article on this beast of an Evo IX.
@Bruce: So you finally figured it out, huh? By the way, there's no 4G63 in there, or a Skyline drivetrain. I power this car with my FISTS.
its quite a bit shorter and lower, i cant remember the exact details, but it was on the cover of Redline Magazine early last year I think it was, awesome detailed shoot in a studio, and that gave the exact spec on it all.
NICE
This car will not be doing a full season of Time Attack this year
it looks lame with 2 doors.... cyber evo lays the smack down, ct230r lays the smack down... and they are built very conventional compared to this. these guys are doing something wrong
First time I have seen a 2 door EVO... Looks unique...
"Got enough canards and wings on that thing..?"
Haha!
HAHAH @ MR. NORRIS lets see this car with tarzan behind the wheel.
holy downforce batman!
HEY MITSUBISHI!!! I hope u are paying attention!!! BEST IDEA EVER!!!
Kstyle- It's not built for looks, it's built for function. And unless I'm very much mistaken it's amongst the top 10 fastest Evos in the world over a quarter, despite being built as a street-legal time attack car.
I know Im gonna be killed for this, but I really don't like this car. First of all, with that much power in a TIME ATTACK car, the LAST thing you want to do is shorten the wheelbase in terms of stability. For a gymkhanna car, it would be an amazing idea, but then you don't need 1200hp. Also, I know it looks cool, but the quality of some of the welds and such I saw when it was at the Autosport show was not the greatest thing ever.... There are a few cage design things and a few aero things too, but I won't get into it as I don't wanna be completely internet-killed. Thats just my $0.02
how about covering some of the Mirage to Evo 5/6 Coupe conversions that are being built here in the US?? Mike Garret knows about these shops/tuners building these Evo Coupes/Hatchbacks you guys really need to talk to him about getting coverage on those cars.
The most impressive Evo on the planet
Needs more Wing!!!
