Weird... I thought that Mitsubishi is only interested in hybrid and electric cars now...

If the news is right, that’s splendid for the WRC. Btw, Mitsubishi was bought by Nissan two years ago and is now part of the Renault/Nissan partnership; the brand previous orientation towards alternative energies can change a bit, once that role is now mainly taken by Nissan.
