We just received these high-res official sketches (or at least they seem to be official) of the Mitsubishi Lancer Prototype S in our mail from a Carscoop reader who wishes to remain anonymous. According to our reader, the 5door Lancer prototype will make its debut at the Geneva Show on March 4. Unlike the Lancer Sportsback 5door concept that was shown in 2005, the Prototype S in the sketches is practically production ready.

While we don’t have any official information in our hands, from what we can tell, the specific prototype looks like its previewing the forthcoming Euro Spec 5door Lancer Ralliart. Like its American (4door) counterpart -click here, it too will come with a 240 PS 2.0 litre Turbo Engine coupled with a full-time 4WD system with Active Yaw Control and Active Centre Differential. We’ll try to dig out more information on the Lancer Prototype S later on the day.

Looks alright, all except for that wing in the rear.

IDK why but this car reminds a lot of Opel for some reason.

I think it's really sharp....I just wonder how true they'll remain to the sketches. They need to keep everything but that weird spoiler. Even the wheels.

It definitely looks nice, but I'd like to see it get a little boxier in the rear for production so it's actually more useful than a largish trunk.

Beware Impreza 5 door.

Anyways it looks similar to a Suzuki Reno.

"Like its american counterpart"? Which means we won't be getting it? I think it looks very nice. From those sketches I like it more than Mazda3/Mazda6/Impreza or most other hatches out there.
