The first official images of the Mitsubishi Lancer Prototype-S have been leaked into the internet ahead of the car’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. More of a pre-production version than a concept, the Lancer Prototype-S previews the shape of the forthcoming Lancer Sportback (5door hatch) that’s expected to be introduced in the European market this summer.

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Event with a bold new design that was first revealed at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show with the popular Mitsubishi Concept-X.
