The first official images of the Mitsubishi Lancer Prototype-S have been leaked into the internet ahead of the car’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. More of a pre-production version than a concept, the Lancer Prototype-S previews the shape of the forthcoming Lancer Sportback (5door hatch) that’s expected to be introduced in the European market this summer.

In particular, the Prototype-S previews the Lancer Sportback Ralliart that will compete head on with the Subaru Impreza WRX. Like the Lancer Sedan Ralliart that we saw in the Detroit Show, the Prototype-S is equipped with a detuned version of the EVO X’s 2.0-liter Turbo engine (delivering 240 PS and 343 Nm of torque) combined with a Twin Clutch SST gearbox and a full-time 4WD drivetrain featuring Mitsubishi Motors’ Active Center Differential.

Honda will show-off a limited edition version of the S2000 roadster at this year’s Tokyo Show. The S2000 Type S is the Japanese market twin of the S2000 Club Racer that’s sold in the States. Like the CS, the Type S features an aerodynamic package, aggressive suspension settings and increased body and chassis rigidity. However, while the S2000 CS is offered exclusively with a removable aluminium hardtop, the Type S retains the basic version’s soft-top. The S2000 retains the high-revving engine delivers 237 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 162 lb-ft. of torque at 6,800 rpm.
