cover story
The Lancer Evolution MR Edition strikes the delicate balance between grace and power. Building on the Lancer Evolution's rally-proven reputation, the MR Edition pushes the performance envelope even further with improvements to the crucial elements that make driving a true pleasure. Engine output was increased, but more power was not the top priority.

In addition to the regular Evolution IX, Mitsubishi offers an MR Edition with a close-ratio six-speed-manual gearbox and a lesser-equipped RS sedan. Evolution models have all-wheel drive with an active center differential that's intended to improve steering response as well as traction. Three modes are available: tarmac, grass and snow. All models have a fully independent suspension. The MR Edition adds Bilstein monotube shock absorbers. Enkei 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard on all models but the MR Edition, which uses 17-inch forged-aluminum BBS wheels. Recaro front sport seats are installed in the five-occupant interior. The driver faces a racing-inspired, height-adjustable, three-spoke Momo steering wheel. Both the regular model and the MR Edition have aluminum pedals.

"The Lancer Evolution is available in three trims: RS, standard and MR Edition. The standard Evo offers features such as 17-inch wheels; air conditioning; power windows, mirrors and locks; a CD player; and a tilt steering wheel. The RS edition is essentially a stripped-down iteration of the standard car, and deletes ABS and power windows and locks, but adds HID headlights, additional gauges and unique trim, along with thinner sheet metal and aluminum panels to save weight. The MR includes Bilstein shocks, BBS wheels, exclusive trim pieces and unique badging.
