Outlook and Design
The front of this Mitsubishi Lancer is loaded with air intakes and outlets and keeps the engine cool. The designing of the exterior is aggressive overall. The exterior also has exhaust pipes and diffuser that surrounds the pipes and help to clean up the airflow. Heat extractors give the ride a purposeful look.
