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.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII
All good things come to an end sooner or later. So has the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series. This is not to say that the latest addition to the series, the Evolution VII, is a bad car but rather that it lost most part of its inherent nature. Previous models were mere excuses to get the FIA homologation in GroupA.
