Mitsubishi will premiere its new Concept-RA at the Detroit Motor Show next year.

The RA features the same twin clutch SST system used in the Lancer Evolution X but is linked to a high-output 2.2-litre four cylinder 16 valve turbo diesel engine.

Mitsubishi said the RA was likely to go on sale in Europe if sales perform well for its intended launch in the US.

The Japanese manufacturer has released one concept image of the car so far but will reveal more details closer to its unveiling in Detroit on January 16.
