The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, popularly referred to as the 'Evo', is a sports sedan and rally car based on the Lancer that was manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors from 1992 until 2016. There have been ten official versions to date, and the designation of each model is most commonly a Roman numeral. All generations use two-litre intercooled turbo inline four-cylinder engines and all-wheel drive systems.
All domestic market versions, until the release of the Evolution IX in 2005, were limited by a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese car manufacturers to advertise no more than 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). However, sources say Mitsubishi had already been producing cars with more power but had been underrating the official power outputs in order to comply with the agreement. Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the advertised power figures, with the Japanese-market Evolution IX reaching an alleged output of around 321 PS (236 kW; 317 hp).
Mitsubishi also released an Evolution IX wagon in GT, GT-A models and a MR versions. Variants came in 6 speed manual (GT, MR) or a 5 speed automatic (GT-A). Mitsubishi's 2005 Press Release said they intended to make 2500 Evolution Wagons.
Rarity: Approximately 50% 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 most common colours were Silver, Black, Blue, Grey and White. Red was very rare.
The manual transmission GT Evolution Wagon didn't weigh much more than the Evo IX sedan but the additional 20 kg.
This car was manufactured only for the Japanese domestic market. It comes with 6-speed manual gearbox and some of MR specs (for example tinted headlights, MR badge). This car was imported from Japan and registered in Poland in 2015 with original mileage of 49.000 kms.
Conversion to LHD was made at TomCar Motorsport specialized workshop. It was made on only OEM parts without saving on materials and professional workshops. Many new OEM parts were bought during conversion, for example front headlights. The steering comes form EVO IX. From the beginning the car was well maintained. Original paintjob is in very good condition, without any scratches or dents (only front fenders were repainted). From under the car without rust, the car is in perfect condition, everything works and looks perfect.
Headlights and rear lamps are tinted with polymer foil - easy to remove.
Front doors are silenced with installed Focal speakers, subwoofer, and amplifier. All connected to Pioneer radio with Apple Carplay, Android Auto, DAB radio.
XXR 527 wheels with new summer Toyo tires. It sits flush on this setup. For winter I have bought winter Mitsubishi RS wheels - refurbished, CNC machined front and gold painted interior. Ceramics for protection. New Goodyear tires.
