As some of you may know Ralliart UK no longer trade under the name Ralliart. Weird news for us Evo owners, but this news release has an interesting mention of an STi Xtreme a la Evo 6/7 Extreme.... May be interesting to some of you chaps!

"RALLIART UK" GOES "XTREME"


Following the mutual termination of the Three Year Joint Venture to import and distribute Mitsubishi Ralliart Vehicles with the Colt Car Company, Ralliart UK can now confirm its new trading name and plans for the future.
Xtreme Autos will continue the business as the leading Mitsubishi Motor Sport specialist and Independent Importer of Mitsubishi performance vehicles. In addition to the acclaimed Evolution VII, which is now available in manual and automatic versions. Later in the year there will be an EVO powered 4WD version of the Airtrek, followed in 2003 by the new Evolution Pajero which has already shown its evolving face at the Frankfurt and Geneva Motor Shows.
The Xtreme Autos Development Team, headed by former Mitsubishi World Rally Team Workshop Manager, Toney Cox, has recently been strengthened with the addition of Mick Kehl, who formerly worked as a Senior Engineer for Motec Engine Management Systems. Prior to that Kehl worked with the PERT Rally Team and the Holden Race Team.
The production of special models such as the widely acclaimed Evolution Extreme, RSX and RS Sprint, which were developed and built by Ralliart UK will continue under the Xtreme brand. However, no longer confined to the Mitsubishi marque, development will now extend to other makes with work already underway on Xtreme versions of the Subaru Impreza STI and the Golf GT TDi. Xtreme Autos will also continue with the development and build of Rally cars.
A new investment commitment by Xtreme Autos means that its plan for a new state of the art Four-Wheel Drive Rolling Road and Engine Dyno are well advanced. These commitments along with our recently opened Engine and Transmission Build Shop will ensure that Xtreme Autos will continue to offer enthusiasts worldwide a service which proven as second to none. Not only as the Technical Centre of Excellence for Mitsubishi Motor Sports vehicles, but now also other specialist performance marques.

Don't know what anyone else thinks but I think their new name is terrible it sounds cheap. Do they still run the WRC team?

They never did run the WRC team
