Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII - Review - Whoosh
COMFORT: The Lancer Evo VIII is luxuriously appointed - for a race car. It's fine for day-to-day street use, too, building on the standard Lancer interior. As with the wheels and brakes, Mitsubishi has gone to competition suppliers where necessary, in this case to Recaro(r) for sports seats. Although they are very well-bolstered for lateral support, and do have racing harness strap holes, they are wider and less-bolstered than real competition seats - a good thing if you're not built like a jockey. They are no harder to get into or out of than any other seats, and provide excellent support and comfort. A leather-rimmed MOMO(r) steering wheel and properly- placed, short-throw shift lever complete the ``racer's office'' ambiance. ROADABILITY: Since few Lancer Evo VIIIs will be used for rally driving on forest roads, as delivered the car is set up for real-world pavement. With five and a half inches of ground clearance and good approach and departure angles, it can deal with hazards like gutters, steep driveways, and chuckholes better than most sports cars. The chassis is reinforced over that of the regular Lancer, for greater strength and rigidity and consequent improved handling. Suspension is by inverted struts in front - with a strut brace - and a multilink system in the rear; forged aluminum control arms reduce unsprung weight for better response. A quick-ratio steering box transmits driver commands instantly to the front wheels. On the road, the Evo feels much like a race car - nervous and intense, with a firm but supple ride quality.

2004-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII / Evo 8 Review - Modern ...
Based largely on the previous Lancer Evo VII, improvements include better aerodynamics, downforce and engine cooling. The front bumper with integral grille marks the new MMC design identity with a raised triangular base in the center of the grille that is embellished with a chrome silver 3-diamond logo. The bumper also improves intercooler performance with a larger air intake opening on its underside. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII uses an off-black color scheme and faux-titanium panels to create a functional, yet totally boring, interior. The instrument panel locates the tachometer in the center and features a full-scale speedometer that reads up to 170 mph. Leather trim with black-stitching are used on the 3-spoke MOMO steering wheel, shift knob, shift lever boot and parking brake grip.

For almost a decade the magnificent Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been carving a reputation as the supercar slayer. It has, quite literally, set the pace in four-wheel transport, for when it comes to blitzing the distance from point A to point B nothing, but nothing else comes close.
