Its not really a new one, its more of a new design on a previous WRC Mitsubishi (the '03). During Rally New Zealand, they had an interesting part of the show talking about this very car.

Firstly, the spoiler has been moved closer to the rear windshield to increase aerodynamics. Also, you'll notice huge lips around the wheel wells, those are to increase airflow and help cool down the brakes. As well, the entire body has a much more rounder shape it to it (everything from the doors to the hood) in order to [again] increase aerodynamics. Mitsubishi has been doing pretty poorly in the WRC this year, but its more so a test year to get back on track. Mitsubishi used to be the #1 team, led by WRC "Hero" Tommi Makannen (sp?).

Its all probably in that article, but thought I'd say it anyway =P I <3 WRC
