The Repsol Mitsubishi Ralliart team is poised to kick off its first full season using turbocharged diesel power with a four-car entry on the 2009 Dakar.
The team's bid will be spearheaded by its latest cross-country rally car, the new Racing Lancer.
The 31st Dakar Rally will see the event switch to fresh territory in South America where Mitsubishi's foursome will be looking to secure not only its first-ever victory with a diesel powered car, but also the company's 13th success.
The Racing Lancer will be officially unveiled on Thursday October 2 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show and it will go on sale across Europe this autumn
