Chronology
Predecessor	Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, commonly referred to as 'Evo',^[one] is a sports sedan and rally car based on the Lancer that was manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors from 1992 until 2016. In that location have been ten official versions to appointment, and the designation of each model is most commonly a Roman numeral. All generation use two-litre intercooled turbo inline 4-cylinder engines and all-bike drive systems.^[two]

The Evolution was originally intended only for Japanese markets, simply demand on the "grey import" marketplace led the Development serial to be offered through Ralliart dealer networks in the Great britain and in various European markets from around 1998. Mitsubishi decided to consign the eighth generation Evolution to the U.s.a. in 2003 later witnessing the success Subaru had in that marketplace with their long-time rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.^[three]

Japanese-spec^{[ commendation needed ]} versions of all Evos until the release of the Evo 9 in 2005 were limited past a gentlemen's agreement to advertise no more than 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). Even so, sources say Mitsubishi had already been producing cars with more power but had been underrating the official power outputs in club to be in compliance with the understanding.^[4] Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the advertised power figures, with the Japanese-spec Evolution Ix reaching an alleged output of around 321 PS (236 kW; 317 hp). Various versions bachelor in other markets, peculiarly the UK, accept official power outputs up to 446 PS (328 kW; 440 hp).

The 10th and concluding generation of the Lancer Evolution (Evo X) was launched in Japan in 2007, and overseas markets in 2008. The Evo X was produced for almost x years until it retired in Apr 2016.

The offset Lancer Evolution used the 2.0 L turbocharged DOHC engine and AWD drivetrain from the original Galant VR-four in a Lancer chassis, and was sold in GSR and RS models. This engine was also used in the Mitsubishi RVR with the Hyper Sports Gear trim bundle, and the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT. The RS was a stripped-down version that lacked power windows and seats, anti-lock brakes, a rear wiper, and had steel wheels to weigh approximately 70 kg (154 lb) less than the 1,238 kg (2,729 lb) GSR, ready for racing or tuning. The RS version was released with a mechanical plate type rear limited-skid differential (LSD). The GSR came with all of the conveniences of a typical street car, including a digital screen climate control arrangement. Information technology came with Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine producing 247 PS (182 kW; 244 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 309 N⋅m (228 lb⋅ft) at 3,000 rpm.^[five] 5,000 of the showtime generation Evolutions were sold between 1992 and 1993.^{[half dozen]} Top speed was 228 km/h (142 mph). The GSR version of the Evolution I was the merely Development Lancer released with a Gluey Limited Slip Rear Differential (VLSD).

The Evolution II was upgraded in December 1993, and was produced until February 1995. It consisted mainly of handling improvements, including small-scale wheelbase adjustments, lighter front end swaybar that connected via swaybar links to the front struts, bodywork tweaks including a larger spoiler, and tires that were 10 mm (0.4 in) wider.^[6] This Development also has a l l (13.2 US gal; 11.0 imp gal) fuel tank. Power output was increased to 256 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) from the same engine and torque was unchanged for both GSR and RS models.^[eight] Most cars came with fifteen inch OZ 5-spoke wheels from the manufacturing plant, although some RS models sold to privateer racing teams left the factory with steel wheels.^[ix]

February 1995 saw the inflow of the Evolution III, post-obit a pre-release in 1993 which had several improvements over the previous models. New, more aggressive styling and a new nose moulding improved the air supply to the radiator, intercooler and brakes. New side skirts and rear bumper moldings and a larger rear spoiler were added to reduce lift. The engine was improved and had a higher compression ratio than before,^[x] and a new turbocharger compressor (65 mm to 68 mm^[11]), which resulted in a power output of 270 bhp (201 kW) at 6,250 rpm, 309 N⋅m (228 lb⋅ft) at iii,000 rpm.

An Development III was used in the film Initial D as the car driven past Jordan Chan'south character. He drove a black Evolution 3 and too Evolution Three was used in the flick Thunderbolt as the car driven by Jackie Chan'southward character. He drove a yellow Evolution 3 which was lightly modified performance-wise just heavily modified when it comes to the aesthetics.

The Lancer platform was completely changed in 1996, and along with it, the Evolution, which had become extremely popular throughout the earth. The engine and transaxle were rotated 180° to better rest the weight and eliminate torque steer.

There were ii versions available, the RS and GSR. The RS version was produced equally a competition motorcar with a limited-slip front differential and a friction type LSD at the rear. It as well came with GLX seats and a selection of either 15" or xvi" OZ lightweight racing wheels. The RS too had air current-up windows, optional air conditioning in some models, and a few actress caryatid bars to strengthen the chassis, one behind the forepart grille and another beyond the boot floor, and an aluminum rear strut tower brace.

The GSR and the RS shared a new twin curlicue turbocharger which helped to improve response and increase power to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at vi,500 rpm and 330 Northward⋅m (243 lb⋅ft) torque at 4,000 rpm. Mitsubishi's new Active Yaw Control appeared as a mill standard on the GSR model, which used steering, throttle input sensors and thou sensors to computer-hydraulically control torque split individually to the rear wheels and equally a result, the 10,000 Evolution IVs produced all sold rapidly. ^{[ citation needed ]}

The Evolution IV can be distinguished by its two large fog lights in the front bumper (option on RS version), and the newly designed tail lights on the rear, which became a standard design to Evolution Five, which would go yet some other trademark of the Evolution series, note the RS has no low-cal mounts on the boot/trunk for further weight saving.

This new generation was slightly heavier than previous Evo's—the GSR in particular due to the added technology systems—only to counter this, the car produced even more ability—the weight of the RS being one,260 kg (2,778 lb) and the GSR being 1,345 kg (2,965 lb) (Sunroof model 1,370 kg (3,020 lb)).

Much of the technical improvements for this generation were also used in the second generation Mitsubishi RVR originally sold just in Japan but since exported to Commonwealth of australia and New Zealand. The Development IV was the final model to be considered "compact" according to Japanese dimension regulations.

• RS – "Rally Sport" – Shortened close-ratio 5-speed transmission, minimal interior, forepart worm gear LSD and rear 1.5 way LSD, front end batten, fifteen" steel rims, Lancer GLXi Front Seats (not-saucepan seats), manual windows and mirrors. (Optional: manual Air Conditioner, PIAA front fog lights, Anti-Lock Braking Organization, Lamco-Mitsubishi boost gauge.)
• GSR – "Gran Sport Racing" – five-speed transmission, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Anti-Lock Braking System, black-carmine Recaro front bucket seats, Full Motorcar Air Conditioner, double-din sound with rear windscreen integrated antenna, PIAA front end fog lights, power windows, xvi" OZ Racing F1 wheels, rear windscreen wiper, optional: sunroof, Lamco-Mitsubishi boost gauge.

An Evolution Four was used in the film Initial D as the auto driven by Volition Liu'south character and also Evolution Iv was used in the pic Who am I? as the car driven by Jackie Chan's character. He drove a white Development 4 and too He drove a gray Evolution 4.

Many aspects of the motorcar were inverse such as:

• The interior was upgraded in the GSR version with a better course of Recaro seats.
• The torso kit had flared arches at the front end and rear and a new aluminum rear spoiler replaced the IV FRP version and gave an adjustable bending of attack to alter rear downforce. (In procedure of doing so, the Evolution V onwards was no longer considered "compact" according to Japanese dimension regulations, requiring Japanese owners to pay an increased almanac taxation equally the automobile was now 70 mm (2.eight in) wider than regulated limit of ane,700 mm (66.ix in)).
• The track was widened by x mm (0.four in), the wheel showtime changed from ET45 to ET38 along with the wheel bore which rose from 16 in to 17 in to accommodate Brembo brakes.
• In addition the brake chief cylinder bore increased by 0.3 mm (0.01 in).
• The engine was strengthened in a few areas and the cam duration was increased. The pistons were lighter with a smaller skirt surface area. 510 cc injectors were replaced with 560 cc injectors for better engine reliability due to more than electric "headroom" and the ECU was inverse to include a wink ROM, allowing more boost pressure to the same TD05-HR every bit the Mitsubishi Development 4.

Furthermore, the turbocharger was again improved. Torque was increased to 373 N⋅yard (275 lb⋅ft) at 3,000 rpm. Power officially stayed the same, at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), though some claim horsepower was actually somewhat higher.

• RS – "rally sport" Close-ratio 5-speed, minimal interior, rally suspension, ane.5 Way LSD, (Shortened close-ratio 5-speed transmission, Motorcar Air Conditioner, Enkei Wheels, Recaro bucket seat, Brembo brakes, power window are available equally option).
• GSR – five-speed, gauge pack, AYC (Active Yaw Command), Anti-Lock Braking System, Recaro front saucepan and rear seat, machine air-conditioner, double-din sound, power window, Brembo brakes.

The Evolution Vi's changes mainly focused on cooling and engine durability. It received a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel for the RS model, which was a first in a production car. Output was rated at 280 PS (276 hp; 206 kW) at 6,500 rpm and maximum torque of 373 Due north⋅m (275 lb⋅ft) at 3,000 rpm.^[12] The Evolution VI received new bodywork still again, with the almost easily noticeable modify beingness inside the front end bumper where the huge fog lights were reduced in size and moved to the corners for ameliorate airflow. A new model was added to the GSR and RS lineup; known as the RS2, it was an RS with a few of the GSR'southward options. Another express-edition RS was known every bit the RS Sprint, an RS tuned by Ralliart in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland to be lighter and more powerful with 330 hp (246 kW).

Even so some other special edition Evolution VI was released in Dec 1999: the Tommi Mäkinen Edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen who had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships. Information technology featured a different front end bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats (with embossed T. Mäkinen logo), 17" white Enkei wheels, a leather Momo steering wheel and shift knob, a titanium turbine that spooled up more than rapidly, forepart upper strut brace, lowered ride height (with tarmac stages in heed), and a quicker steering ratio. Amidst other colours, the Evo 6 came in either scarlet (Tommi Mäkinen Edition only), white, blue, blackness or silver with optional special decals, replicating Tommi Mäkinen'south rally car's color scheme. This car is also sometimes referred to every bit an Evolution six½, Evolution half-dozen.five, or TME for curt. At that place were 4092 units produced.^[13]

In 2001, Mitsubishi was forced past the FIA to run in the WRC using WRC rules for building a machine instead of the Group A course rules, and this did not need to follow homologation rules. The Evolution Vii was based on the larger Lancer Cedia platform and as a issue gained more than weight over the Development VI, only Mitsubishi made up for this with multiple important chassis tweaks. The biggest change was the addition of an agile center differential and a more than constructive express-slip differential, while a front helical limited-slip differential was added. Torque was increased over again to 385 N⋅grand (284 lb⋅ft) with engine tweaks that allowed greater airflow, and horsepower officially remained at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp).

The introduction of the Development VII likewise marked the first fourth dimension an automatic drivetrain was included within the model lineup—the GT-A. Nicknamed the 'K Touring Automatic' version of the visually similar 7 GSR and the RS2, the GT-A model was merely produced in 2002 and had the post-obit distinguishing interior and outside specification: GT-A-merely diamond cutting finish 17-inch (431.viii mm) alloy wheels, clear rear lite lenses and all-in-one mode front headlights (afterward used on the Evolution Eight). The GT-A had the option of either no spoiler, the short spoiler (as per the Lancer Cedia; and later used on the Development Viii 260) or the thunder spoiler as used on the standard Evolution Seven models. The most distinguishing feature was a smooth bonnet with no air-grills on it at all and the revised front bumper. Although offering inferior cooling capabilities, the bonnet was designed to give a cleaner line through the air with less air resistance at expressway speeds.

Interior could be specified with manufactory options of a deluxe velour interior, full leather or the Recaro sports seats. The GT-A interior was different in that it had chromed door handles, a unlike musical instrument panel (to show the gear pick) and chrome edged bezels effectually the speedo and tach. The GT-A too had additional sound wearisome installed from the factory and the engine manifold and downpipe had been engineered to be quieter.

The 5-speed automatic gearbox had what Mitsubishi called "fuzzy logic", which meant that the car would learn what the commuter's driving characteristics were like and would adapt the gear change timings and kick down reactions accordingly. The gears could be manually selected every bit with virtually Tiptronics via steering wheel + and – buttons (a pair both sides) or via selecting the tiptronic gate with the gear lever. Ability was down a piffling from the standard manual cars with 272 PS (200 kW; 268 hp). The GT-A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII simply has been installed in the estate version of the Evolution Nine Wagon. It was replaced past the Twin Clutch SST gearbox since the introduction of Evolution Ten. For a time, Proton entered a rebadged version chosen the Proton PERT.

An Evolution VII was used in the film two Fast 2 Furious as the car driven by Paul Walker's character. He collection a yellowish Evolution vii which was lightly modified operation-wise just heavily modified when it comes to the aesthetics. Still, one of the producers claimed that they used a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer O.Z. Rally edition instead of an Evo as the car used for production and stunt scenes.^{[ citation needed ]}

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII appeared in 2003 this time sporting 17" grey Enkei wheels, Brembo brakes and Bilstein shocks to handle traction and a 5-speed manual gearbox with 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) (approx. 234 bhp (237 PS; 174 kW) to the wheels)^{[ citation needed ]}. Originally a 1-off model, sales were so successful in the U.S. that by 2005 it was bachelor in four trims. The standard GSR model was available in Nippon. The RS model was provided with a 5-speed gearbox and standard wheels (lacking backlog components, such as interior map lights, power windows/doors, and radio). The SSL trim came with a sunroof, torso mounted subwoofer, and leather seats. All of these trim levels likewise included chrome headlight and taillight housings. To circular out the lineup the MR came with a revised front limited-slip differential, aluminum MR shift knob, handbrake with carbon fibre handle, 17 inch BBS wheels, aluminum roof, and a 6-speed transmission gearbox. Additionally, the Development MR's taillights and headlights sported a new black housing.

Mitsubishi Lancer Development VIII MR

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 MR used slick-response Bilstein shocks for improved handling. The aluminium roof panel and other reductions in trunk weight lowered the centre of gravity to produce more than natural roll characteristics. Particular improvements have also been made to Mitsubishi'due south own electronic four-cycle bulldoze, to the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction control, and to the Sports ABS systems. The Lancer Development VIII displayed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Prove took the MR designation traditionally reserved for Mitsubishi Motors high-performance models (beginning used for the Galant GTO). Other parts on the MR include Bbs alloy wheels, the aforementioned Bilstein shocks, and an aluminium roof. In the United Kingdom, many special Evolutions were introduced, including the 260, FQ300, FQ320, FQ340, and FQ400 variants. They came with 260, 305, 325, 345, and 405 hp (194, 227, 239, 254 and 302 kW), respectively.^{[14] [fifteen] [16] [17]}

The FQ-400, sold through Ralliart UK, produced 411 PS (302 kW; 405 hp) at 6,400 rpm and maximum torque of 481 N⋅1000 (355 lb⋅ft) at 5,500 rpm,^[18] from its ane,997 cc (2.0 Fifty; 121.9 cu in) 4G63 inline-four engine, the event of special modifications by U.k. tuning firms Rampage Tuning, Owen Developments, and Period Race Engines. The "FQ" proper noun stands for F——ing Quick,^{[19] [20]} although information technology is not officially recognized by Mitsubishi due to the vulgarity behind the abridgement. At 202.eight hp (151.2 kW) per litre, it has 1 of the highest specific outputs per litre of any road car engine. ^{[ commendation needed ]} With a adjourn weight of one,450 kg (3,197 lb), information technology achieves 0–threescore mph (97 km/h) in iii.5 seconds,^[21] 0–100 mph (161 km/h) in nine.ane seconds, ane⁄iv mile (402 one thousand) in 12.1 seconds at 117 mph (188 km/h), and a pinnacle speed of 175 mph (282 km/h) while costing £48,000. BBC'southward television series Top Gear demonstrated that the stock FQ-400 could continue upwardly with a Lamborghini Murciélago around a exam rails. The Stig recorded a Top Gear Power Lap Time of ane minute and 24.8 seconds (damp rails), 1.one seconds slower than the Murciélago's time of 1 minute 23.7 seconds (dry rails).^[22] In a similar exam conducted by Evo magazine, the Evolution was able to lap the Bedford Autodrome faster than an Audi RS4 and a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.

The Lancer Evolution Eight was also the outset Evolution to be sold in the United states of America,^[23] spurred by the success of the Subaru Impreza WRX which had been released there just the year prior.^[3] The Evolution VIII plant its true contest in the Subaru Impreza WRX STI model the aforementioned year as the Development Eight'due south The states introduction. With its ii.0 liter, 271 hp (202 kW; 275 PS) engine, the 2003 Evolution VIII was capable of achieving a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.1 seconds. All the same, the internal components for the American versions were largely stripped-down versions of the specifications for the Japanese Lancer Evolution Eight. No U.s.-spec Evolution model prior to the Evo X has active yaw control, including the 2006 Evolution Nine. The American 2003 and 2004 GSRs are without the helical limited-slip front differential and 6-speed manual transmission. The 2004 US spec RS models, nevertheless, do have a front helical express-slip differential. All 2003, 2004 and 2005 RS and GSR models take the Japanese Development 7's 5-speed manual. The MR edition was introduced to the United states of america in 2005, with ACD and the only model with a six-speed transmission. The 2005 U.s.a. spec RS and GSR have the ACD standard, and the forepart helical express-slip differential is now standard on all models. The boost, timing, and tuning are also significantly lower than its Japanese analogue, allowing it to attach to the strict emissions regulations of the United States. Starting in 2005, the US model Evos were also fitted with a 5500 rpm limit on launching in 1st gear to protect the drivetrain.

Most Evolution VIIIs take a carbon fiber rear spoiler with matching trunk-color endplates. Furthermore, the US versions of the Lancer Evolution 8 2003–2005 were given bulkier rear bumpers than their Japanese counterparts to accommodate U.s.a. safety laws in the form of the metal rear crash bar. All Evos have lightweight aluminum front fenders and hoods.

The bones RS Edition does not come with power windows, locks, or mirrors, an audio organisation, rear fly, audio deadening fabric, map lamps or an anti-lock braking system. All Evo Eight RS models sold in the United states have an air-conditioning arrangement.

The 2005 MR/RS editions came with an aluminum roof.

Additionally, Evolution Viii MR Editions come equipped with a vi-speed manual, Bilstein shocks, optional graphite greyness color (unique to the Evolution Viii MR), optional BBS wheels and an optional vortex generator. The MR Edition also received engine updates and reliability changes, the engine updates include larger turbo diameter oral fissure, updated cam profiles, lighter balance shafts and changed from single wastegate solenoid to dual solenoid. Exterior changes included HID headlights, updated taillights, and MR rear badging. Interior updates included black suede Recaro seats with college side bolsters, carbon await nuance trim, and MR badging on center console. Mechanical changes saw South-AWC rear diff changes, a larger oil cooler core, ion coated piston rings, reinforced cylinder head and five layer head gasket compared to the 3 layer.^[24]

Chronology
Successor	Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart (for wagon model)

Mitsubishi introduced the Lancer Evolution Ix in Japan on March 3, 2005,^[32] and exhibited the car at the Geneva Motor Testify for the European market the aforementioned day.^[33] The N American markets saw the model exhibited at the New York International Auto Show the following month.^[34] The 2.0 L (1,997 cc) 4G63 Inline-iv engine has MIVEC technology (variable valve timing), and a revised turbocharger pattern boosting official ability output at the crankshaft to 291 PS (214 kW; 287 hp) and torque to 392 N⋅m (289 lb⋅ft).

The USDM Lancer Evolution Nine models: standard (Grand Sport Rally or "GSR" in some markets), RS (Rally Sport), SE (Special Edition) and MR (Mitsubishi Racing) varied slightly in their performance capabilities. Subtleties unique to each model accounted for variations in acceleration, handling and top speed. The RS excluded features that came standard on the SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk lining and sound insulation). The result is a weight savings of over 60 lb (27 kg). The fuel capacity remains the aforementioned as the Evo Eight at xiv U.S. gal (53 L).

Although the RS is the lightest of the group, the RS did not manage to outperform the standard Nine and the MR around a route course (even if just past fractions of a second). This was purported to be due to the lack of a rear wing on the RS. In a drag race, the three models are all about even. They are all capable of 0-threescore mph (97 km/h) times between four.2 and iv.v seconds, and can run ane⁄4 mile (402 yard) times ranging from 12.six to xiii.3 (12.vii–13.0 USA versions) seconds depending on the model/commuter. The RS model was produced for rally and racing teams who wanted a platform to build a race car from. It is stripped of all the creature comforts, and other upgrades that drive the toll up for features that the race teams would not require.

The IX MR retained the features of the Evolution Eight MR, like Bilstein shocks, a six-speed manual transmission, a rooftop vortex generator, BBS forged wheels, HID xenon headlights, foglights, accessory gauge package, "cipher lift" kit, special badging and an aluminum roof. All models connected to sport Recaro saucepan seats, Brembo brakes and Momo steering wheels as well. Additional revisions from 2005 included a closer gear ratio for the 5-speed manual transmission, new lighter Enkei wheels on non-MR models, a redesigned front stop with a more efficient air dam (the virtually noticeable feature are the 2 pocket-sized oval ducts to cool the intercooler pipes), and a new rear bumper with a diffuser undersurface to smooth out the airflow coming out of the machine for non-US models. HID headlights were no longer standard equipment on the base 9 (nor were they standard on the 2005 Viii), and were available only in the SSL bundle (Sun, Sound, and Leather), SE (Special Edition) and MR trims.

The US versions of the Lancer Development Ix did non come with the AYC but the ACD was still present. The drivers tin can select from iii dissimilar driving modes, "Tarmac", "Gravel" and "Snow", and the car'due south calculator system relatively promotes the active center differential to alter the differential locking which, despite pop belief, does non change the torque divide. The differential is geared at 50:fifty and cannot be changed by the push of a push. What this switch actually does is quite simple. Each setting determines how long the ACD will delay in freeing the center differential later on a steering input is made. In addition, it volition determine how much locking force the ACD will exhibit on the clutch pack and center differential.

Tarmac is the setting to be used in dry, paved conditions. In this setting, the ACD will most immediately allow the center differential to go into a gratis state upon detecting a steering input. Additionally, this mode provides the strongest limited-slip clamping strength of the three modes. Although the US versions did non come with the AYC, it did come with a rear 1.5way clutch type LSD (limited-slip differential), which limits the slip from both rear wheels causing less traction loss of the rear wheels. The almost common setup is the 1.5 way LSD, locking on throttle and partially locking on braking. In racing, Lancer Evolutions are not equipped with AYC or ACD because it is believed that better lap times are achieved by pure driver skill without whatever figurer based assistance systems.

1 of the changes from the previous iteration of the Lancer Development, was the change in the engine, the new 4G63 came with MIVEC, Mitsubishi's variable valve timing engineering science, which drastically improves the fuel consumption by irresolute the valve timing on the intake cam. The MIVEC system is similar to Honda's i-VTEC arrangement only that it doesn't change valve lift, only intake valve timing.

Iii trims were bachelor for Japan, Asia and Europe. Although all models used the same 291 PS (214 kW; 287 hp) engine, the torque differed from i model to another. In Europe, however, the Evolution IX was advertised to accept 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). The GSR produced 400 N⋅thousand (295 lb⋅ft) of torque, while the RS and GT produced 407 N⋅chiliad (300 lb⋅ft).

Standard Models [edit]

• RS – "rally sport", revised 5-speed, aluminium roof, gauge pack, minimal interior, LSD and a titanium-magnesium turbine, left hand drive selection available.
• GT revised 5-speed, LSD, titanium-magnesium turbine, and Recaro fabric seat, with some of the GSR'due south features (mainly interior pieces).
• GSR – half dozen-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, car-air conditioner, Recaro leather with Alcantara saucepan seat, aluminium roof, guess pack, SAYC (Super Active Yaw Control), and double-din radio (this is roughly equivalent to the USDM MR).

MR Models (Mitsubishi Racing) [edit]

• MR GSR – same as GSR with Bulletin board system 17-inch alloy wheels, Lowered ten mm (0.39 in) Bilstein suspension, and MR colored front lip spoiler.
• MR RS – same equally RS with MR colored forepart lip spoiler (motorcar air-conditioner, Recaro leather with Alcantara (textile) bucket seat, double-din radio, Bilstein monotube shocks with lowered ten mm (0.39 in) break, and SAYC (Super Active Yaw Control) are available every bit an option).
• MR Tuned by Ralliart – Based on Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition, The Japanese Lancer Development Ix was exclusively tuned past Mitsubishi Ralliart features the almost aforementioned as the civilian Evo IX MR GSR except for carbon fiber front lip Spoiler, Official Ralliart livery, Ralliart RA04 17-inch Black forged aluminum wheels.

In the United Kingdom, the Evolution Nine used a different model scheme based on the motorcar's horsepower. In that location were initially three models bachelor: the FQ-300, FQ-320 and FQ-340 each with around 300, 320 and 340 PS (296, 316 and 335 bhp; 221, 235 and 250 kW), respectively. An FQ-360 model was subsequently released as a successor to the Development VIII FQ-400. While the new FQ-360 produced 371 PS (366 hp; 273 kW) at 6,887 rpm^{[35] [36] [37] [38] [39]} (less horsepower than its predecessor), although information technology had more torque at 492 North⋅thousand (363 lb⋅ft) at 3,200 rpm. All four models were designed to run on super unleaded petrol merely. The MR FQ-360 was also released in limited numbers (only 200) in the last year of production.

• FQ-300, 320, 340 – 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, AYC (Active Yaw Control), super unleaded petrol but.
• FQ-360 – 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Ralliart Sports Meter Kit, carbon front splitter, Speedline alloy wheels, super unleaded petrol but.
• MR FQ-360 – New turbo with titanium aluminium blend turbo fins, Speedline Turini blend wheels, Privacy Drinking glass, lowered Eibach coil springs (10 mm (0.39 in) at the front end/ five mm (0.xx in) at the rear), IX MR interior, super unleaded petrol merely.

Four models were available in the US. All models used the same 286 bhp (290 PS; 213 kW) engine.

• Standard – revised 5-speed, standard model
• RS – ralli sport, revised 5-speed, aluminum roof, gauge pack, minimal interior, also no radio
• SE – Special Edition, aluminum roof/hood, and forepart fenders, split seven-spoke forged aluminum Bbs wheels in "diamond black" finish, HID headlights with integrated fog lights, reddish-stitched Recaro seats
• MR – 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, split vii-spoke forged aluminum Bulletin board system wheels, aluminum roof, hood, and forepart fenders, guess pack, HID headlights with integrated fog lights, vortex generator, front restriction cooling ducts and custom MR badging.

All of the American models are the same in power, simply may differ in functioning. The only thing that sets them autonomously is the Evo RS, which is fourscore lb (36 kg) lighter than the MR and SE models.

To the standard model, the Sun, Sound and Leather bundle added a power sunroof, HID xenon headlamps with integrated fog lights, a slightly different stereo head unit (with no integral amplifier), slightly upgraded speakers in the front doors and package shelf, a 4.1-channel amplifier under the commuter's seat, a powered, trunk-mounted Infinity subwoofer, black leather seating surfaces, leather-trimmed door panels, slightly revised center armrests in the front end and rear, and split up rear side headrests. This model deleted the GSR's headliner-mounted sunglass holder to make room for the sunroof.

The Philippines had the Evolution Ix until in August 2008, which was offered in 2 trims, the entry-level RS offering a 5-speed manual manual, Brembo 17-in. ventilated discs (4-Pot), Brembo xvi-in ventilated drum-in-disc (two-Pot) and almost the same features every bit to that of the GSR trim in the international version. Some RS models had the SAYC option, while some did not. The MR was the superlative-of-the-line segment, which offered almost the same features as to that of the MR trim in the international version. All of them are powered by the aforementioned 2.0 L (one,997 cc) 4G63 turbocharged MIVEC Inline-iv engine.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Carriage GT (front)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Wagon GT-A (rear)

Evolution Wagon Mitsubishi too released an Evolution IX wagon in GT, GT-A models and a MR special versions. Variants came in 6 speed manual (GT, MR) or a five speed automatic (GT-A). The automatic variant uses a non-MIVEC 4G63 sourced from the Evo VIII with a smaller turbo for increased depression down torque. It was simply sold in Nippon and imported to other countries as greyness imports. Only 2500 Wagons were produced.^{[40] [41]}

VIN searching on epic-information.com has shown at that place was a Thousand Total of 2924 Lancer Evolution Wagons created. This includes all GT, GT-A & MR versions even though Mitsubishi's 2005 Press Release said they intended to make 2500 Evolution Wagons.

Rarity: Approximately fifty% of these cars had the 6 speed manual transmissions combined with the Evo IX MIVEC engine whilst the remaining wagons were GT-A versions.

The about common colours were Silver, Blackness, Blue, Grey. White is rare and Cerise was very rare.

The transmission transmission GT Development Railroad vehicle didn't weigh much more than the Evo 9 sedan but the additional twenty kg (44 lb) approx was due to its Steel turret, steel anti-intrusion bars in doors and the heavier foldable rear seat. Plus a little actress weight in the tailgate and extra side glass. Evo Wagon GT-A are heavier (approx 70 kg (154 lb)) due to their automatic transmission and the additional weight described above in the GT wagon. Even though the Evo Wagon was made exclusively for the Japanese market some of these cars take found new homes in Europe, United kingdom, Russian federation, Asia and Australia. Some of these exported wagons have been converted to Left Hand Drive vehicles for use in Germany and Russian federation. Compared to the Evo 9 sedan, the Development Wagon received front seat which had lower bolsters for easier entry and leave of the vehicle. These less sporty seat were the OEM standard seats in the Australian delivered Evo IX sedan.

In 2005, Mitsubishi introduced a concept version of the next-gen Development at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show named the Concept-Ten,^[42] designed by Omer Halilhodžić at the company's European design centre.^[43]

Mitsubishi unveiled a 2d concept motorcar, the Prototype-X, at the 2007 N American International Machine Bear witness (NAIAS).^[44]

The Lancer Evolution X sedan features a newly designed 4B11T ane,998 cc (ii.0 50) turbocharged, all-aluminium alloy GEMA Inline-four engine. Ability and torque depend on the market, but all versions will have at to the lowest degree 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). (JDM version), the American marketplace version volition have slightly more. The Britain models were reworked by Mitsubishi UK, in accordance with previous MR Evolutions begetting the FQ badge. Options for the UK Evolutions were expected to exist between 300 hp (224 kW) and 360 hp (268 kW).^{[ needs update ]}

2 versions of the motorcar are offered in the U.S. The Lancer Development MR, with vi-speed Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST). The other version is the GSR which has a 5-speed manual manual system. The car as well has a new total-time 4-wheel-bulldoze system named S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), an advanced version of Mitsubishi'south AWC organisation used in previous generations.^[45] The S-AWC uses torque vectoring engineering to ship different amounts of torque to the rear wheels.

It too features Mitsubishi'south new 6-speed SST dual-clutch automatic transmission with steering-mounted magnesium alloy shift paddles. It has replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission, hence the SST version replaced the GT-A version (which was used in Evolution Vii and Evolution 9 Carriage). A v-speed manual gearbox will also be available. The new Lancer Evolution will likewise incorporate Mitsubishi'due south next-generation RISE condom body.

The Evolution X went on auction October 1, 2007 in Japan, New Zealand & some in Commonwealth of australia likewise the 07 were rare as but these countries had gotten them^[46] January 2008 in the Us,^[47] Feb in Canada (equally the offset version of Evolution in Canada)^[48] and in March 2008 in the UK.^[49] The Twin Clutch SST version was available in Japan from November 2007.^[50] Europe will follow with sales in May, GSR and MR version included premium Package. The introduction of the 2010 MR-Touring moved the machine even further upscale. Leather and a sunroof became standard while revising the rear spoiler to just a lip spoiler. For the police motorcar, the British Police force decided to use these Mitsubishi Lancer Development Xs as police cars, and the Purple Malaysia Police (Polis Diraja Malaysia) likewise use Mitsubishi Lancer Development 10 as the Police Highway Eagle (Helang Lebuhraya Polis) patrol team. These patrol motorcar fleet will probably exist used by Highway Pursuit / Patrol or VIP Escort.

In 2014, it was revealed that Mitsubishi would discontinue production of the Mitsubishi Lancer Development after the 2015 model year. The company expressed a desire to refocus its efforts on crossover vehicles and electrical vehicles.^[51]

Discontinuation [edit]

In March 2011, rumours of discontinuation of the Lancer Evolution program started when AutoCar Britain's journalist Matt Prior wrote on his interview with Gayu Uesugi, Mitsubishi's Global Product Director, and quoted him proverb 'The Lancer Evolution Ten, Uesugi told me, will be the last Evo. "There is nonetheless a demand [for the car]," he said, "but nosotros must end." Eyebrow upward.' ^[52]

Mitsubishi Motors would afterward state that "Further to some comments published in the press recently, product of the electric current Lancer Evolution continues every bit planned. Every bit for its successor, regulations and market feedback will dictate its engineering package & architecture. Stay tuned.." Industry analysts would read the statement as indirectly hinting that the Evolution nameplate will remain, just is likely to be an environmentally friendly powertrain (possibly electric or hybrid), inline with increasingly stringent emission and environmental regulations.

Autocar United kingdom later on updated its blog mail service, adding references to EV, further confirming what industry watchers originally speculated. Almost recent news shows that Mitsubishi has been leaning towards the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV hybrid drivetrain, explaining that the electric motors will act as a turbo for the Evolution. Mitsubishi claims that their more "green" version of the Evolution will be just as good or fifty-fifty better in the functioning category.

In October 2011, the President of Mitsubishi Motors, Osamu Masuko, confirmed to Autocar that piece of work on the side by side Evo volition start in 2012 and volition proceed sale within the following 3 years. It is said that the car will feature electrical ability from a hybrid drivetrain, maintaining the functioning of 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time under five seconds while cutting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it was stated that the side by side generation of Mitsubishi Evo will be notably smaller than the last version^[53]

In late March 2014, it was revealed that the production of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution would end later the 2015 model year. The company plans on concentrating its efforts on crossover vehicles and electric vehicles instead. This was confirmed by Mitsubishi spokeswoman Namie Koketsu, who issued a press release stating "Mitsubishi Motors does non have any plans to design a successor with the current concept, every bit a high-functioning iv-bicycle-drive gasoline-powered sedan. Mitsubishi Motors will explore the possibilities of high-performance models that incorporate electric vehicle technology."^[54]

Motorsports [edit]

Rally [edit]

The Lancer Evolution is unique amongst its competitors in the Globe Rally Championship in that information technology was a homologated Group A car slightly modified to be able to race competitively against the and then newly formed World Rally Machine (WRC) regulations from the 1997 season. Mitsubishi connected to adhere to Group A regulations until the San Remo Rally in 2001, World Rally Car course cars. Lancer Evolutions were successful in WRC Rallies from 1996 to 1999, generally in the hands of Finnish commuter Tommi Mäkinen, clinching driver'south titles in four-consecutive seasons from 1996 to 1999 (in Evolutions Three, 4, V, and Half-dozen), and with the help of teammate Richard Burns in clinching the constructors' championship for the first, and thus far only fourth dimension in 1998. The Evolution yet was replaced in late 2001 by the business firm'south starting time World Rally Car, named but the Lancer Development WRC, which was driven past Makinen, Freddy Loix, Alister McRae and Francois Delecour with relatively express success, until Mitsubishi took a breather from the championship at the end of 2002. Information technology was succeeded for the 2004 Monte Carlo Rally by the Lancer WRC04. Mitsubishi pulled out of the Globe Rally Championship later the 2005 flavor with the Lancer WRC05 nevertheless being driven by privateers including Italian former works driver Gigi Galli and the Swede, Daniel Carlsson, in the years following. The Lancer Development however still competes in the Group Northward category.

In some European markets, the Evolution was sold as the Mitsubishi Carisma GT, and indeed to this effect the works^{[ incomprehensible ]} WRC team's 2nd car in the late 1990s, usually driven by Burns and subsequently Loix, was customarily entered equally a Carisma GT. Proton Motors of Malaysia raced Evolution III's, Evolution 5's (most notable with Proton 1784 where Malaysian commuter Karamjit Singh won the 2002 Production Motorcar WRC) and an Evolution Seven as the Proton PERT in various Asia-Pacific Rally Championship and APAC rally serial.

Track racing [edit]

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution won the 2009 Australian Manufacturers' Championship with a trio of Evolution Ten models.

The Mitsubishi Evo has recently won and made runner-up in the 2011 Australian Manufacturers' Championship.

Most recently, (2005–2006) the CT9A chassis Evolution has been dominant in Fourth dimension Attack (time trials) throughout the world. CyberEvo'due south CT9A chassis Lancer Evolution (now retired) previously held the OEM chassis tape at Nihon's Tsukuba Circuit for Time Assault, too every bit the Australian record at Eastern Creek Raceway. Sierra Sierra Enterprise'southward CT9A chassis Evolution holds the U.S. Time Attack record. The Tilton Interiors CT9A chassis Lancer Evolution held the fourth dimension attack record at Sydney Motorsport Park until October 2016 where MCA "Hammerhead" Nissan Silvia reset the tape.

The Lancer Evolution VIII was used in Stock Car Brasil from 2005 to 2008, with Cacá Bueno won the series twice from 2006 to 2007.

The car won the 2008 and 2009 WPS Bathurst 12 Hr endurance race

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo has also been used by professional drifters in countries similar Japan, Italy and Poland,^{[ additional citation(s) needed ]} with notable results being obtained by driver Naoto Suenaga of Team Orange.^[55]

Hill climbing [edit]

The Evolution IX won the European Hill Climb Title 11 times since 2007, with 13 wins too in the FIA International Loma Climb Cup.^{[ citation needed ]}

Awards [edit]

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution won Consumer Search'southward all-time Aggressive sports sedan in All-time Sports Sedans in June 2006.^[56] During 2004–2005 alone it won six major awards, beingness declared "Sports Car of the Year" in Scotland and France, "Playboy Sports Machine 2004" in Poland, "Best New Production Machine Under €60,000" in Hellenic republic, "Sport Compact Motorcar of the Year" in 2004 and 2005 (Sport Meaty Car magazine) and "2005 All-Star" (Machine magazine) in the United States and Motor mag's All-time "Bang for Your Bucks" Australia.^[57] Also in 2004, the Lancer Evo was presented with the Editors' Choice Honor by Grassroots Motorsports.^[58] The Lancer Development X was named equally the "All-time Operation Car under $50K" past Canadian TV show Motoring 2009, and won the Automobile Journalists Clan of Canada'due south 2009 "Best New Engineering" honor.^[59] It was also nominated as one of the top x "World Performance Car of the Year",^[60] won the Automotive Excellence Awards' 2008 "Fun to Drive" category,^[61] and took Dave TV's "Sports Car of the Year" award in 2008.^[62]
