2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Edition (United States)
Explore Lancer Evolution X Final Edition (United States): factory identity, history, specifications, rarity evidence, identification notes and credited photos.
The US Lancer Evolution Final Edition is a 1,600-car numbered farewell programme. Mitsubishi’s announcement for the auction of US0001 provides a direct national scope and a five-speed, 303-horsepower specification. Those details distinguish it from the Japanese Final Edition and from later claims about individual auction cars.
A numbered US farewell programme
Mitsubishi Motors North America announced the US0001 charity auction in November 2015 and explicitly described the car as the first of 1,600 US Final Editions. This supports the national programme’s boundary. The individual auction is an event within that edition history, not a reason to create an additional series or to add another car above the stated total.

The US specification and its units
The manufacturer announcement gives a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, five-speed transmission and 303 horsepower. Keep that rating attached to the US model. The Japanese profile’s 313 PS and the Final Concept’s highly tuned proposal belong to different references. Similar names do not justify selecting the largest number from several markets and presenting it as the specification of every Final Edition.

Why the plaque matters
The US0001 designation illustrates how the manufacturer identified an individual car within the numbered programme. For an owner’s vehicle, a plaque is useful evidence when it agrees with complete factory and supply records. A detachable plaque on its own cannot establish an unchanged drivetrain, original paint or continuous history. Photograph it together with the car’s other identification and retain the supporting documents.
The supplied photograph is qualified
The bundled photo shows a Japanese Final Edition example as an edition-family reference. It does not establish US lighting, seating, equipment or numbered-plaque details. That limitation is stated in the visible caption. The article’s US technical and quantity references come from the MMNA announcement, while the image supplies a clearly identified view of the related Final Edition body presentation.

Avoiding a duplicate farewell story
US0001, the last numbered car and later auction appearances can all be described within this programme. A future chassis-specific record should link back as a member rather than increase the production total. The Japanese edition remains a separate market-specific profile. No global total is manufactured by adding only the two researched national numbers and assuming that no other allocations existed.

Identifying the documented subject

Frequently asked questions
Is the rarity figure a worldwide production total?
Manufacturer-documented US national series of 1,600 numbered Final Editions. This is not the worldwide Final Edition quantity and does not count separate auction records as additional production.
How should an individual example be authenticated?
Match the complete original model information to the appropriate dated documentation, then record the present condition and modifications separately. A badge, colour scheme or stripped interior alone is insufficient evidence of a factory grade.
