Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution: Information From Answers.com
The Lancer Evolution is Mitsubishi's flagship sports car, initially based on the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan, and is colloquially known as the "Evo". The Evolution is the officially approved (homologation) model for Mitsubishi's efforts in the World Rally Championship's Group A class and SCCA Pro Rally Championship (This only applies to Evolution models prior to version VI, as the Evo VII and VIII did not need to meet WRC homologation requirements). In order to follow these rules, the Evolution is based on the same platform as the Lancer compact car, but is much faster and the only part in common between the Evo and the Lancer is the basic frame.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2001, the Mitsubishi decided to race in the WRC class instead of the Group A class, and thus did not need to follow homologation rules. The Evo VII was based on the larger Lancer Cedia platform and as a result gained more weight over the Evo VI, but made up for this with multiple important chassis tweaks. The biggest change was the addition of an active center differential and a more effective limited-slip differential, while a front helical limited-slip differential was added.

With vented 17" discs on the front wheels and 16" on the rear, the Evo VII has some serious braking power. Unfortunately, like the new model WRXs, the Evo VII has gained weight. Albeit only slightly more than 40kg, the extra flab is likely to decrease performance somewhat.
