Let Mitsubishi Cars tell you about this one......"The obsession. The dedication. The incremental performance gains. The weight-shaving engineering. The uncompromising purity of intention. The Lancer Evolution is one of the most purpose-driven performance cars on the planet. And each successive iteration of the car begs new creative thinking. Make more power, save more weight, brake a little deeper, clip the apex a little tighter. Come out of the corner a little harder. If you are reading this you already understand. The performance numbers are staggering. The four consecutive World Rally Championship driver's titles are legendary. It's automotive Darwinism." Even Jeremy Clarkson tells you to "beg, borrow or steal this car..........off the line, even the best four-wheel-drive cars bog down as the wheels refuse to spin, but not the VIII. You give it a bellyful of revs, dump the clutch, and there’s no lag, no chasm. You’re off like you’ve been fired at the horizon by one of Dick Dastardly’s cartoon catapults.
You get the impression that the machinery is barely contained within the body and that it’s torn great holes in the metal, in the same way that the Incredible Hulk messed up his shirt whenever he became angry. Those of you who love cars, and love driving. Try the Evo.......after a mile you’ll be vomiting superlatives too.Sure we're also obsessed here at Classic Car Club and we wouldn't have it any other way!!
