Concept cars somehow weren’t accessible enough before the Vision Gran Turismo series, and now we’ve got loads of them. We’re certainly not complaining though, Mitsubishi’s latest car might be the most intriguing iteration yet.

Dubbed the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution, it’s a digital successor to the XR-PHEV Outlander revealed at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, but with a bit more rallying DNA crammed in.

The shooting brake body is said to be composed of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), and underpinned by a plug-in hybrid powertrain similar to the standard XR-PHEV. An eight-speed automatic transfers power to the S-AWC all-wheel-drive system, which shifts it around to each wheel.
