2004-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII / Evo 8 Review - Modern ...
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.

The front bumper has been enlarged and suitably reinforced to satisfy federally mandated requirements with an additional beam that increases the strength of the bumper support structure. Atop this bumper structure is a split-grille front fascia design that features large, efficient inlets that help to improve intercooler efficiency and add to the vehicle's aggressive scowl. The fascia also includes a pair of four-bulb headlights with HID composite low beams that are matched to the wide body of the Lancer Evolution and offer improved nighttime visibility (not available on the Evolution RS). The driver of a Lancer Evolution is firmly cradled by supportive custom Recaro(R) front sport seats that help alleviate fatigue, and can be adjusted to the ideal driving position. The seats provide effective side support and include sliding and reclining controls that rely on a step-free design, allowing the precise adjustment and location of optimum seating points. The Lancer Evolution series has become legendary among car enthusiasts, not for its Recaro(R) seats (optionally available in leather for 2004), bulging fenders, or high-mounted rear wing spoiler, but as the result of a mechanical specification that endows this compact sedan with performance capabilities that rival exotic sports cars. The drivetrain of the Lancer Evolution series serves as testament to Mitsubishi's engineering and technological mastery as a car builder.

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MIEV
Lancer Evolution MIEV derives from the Lancer Evolution IX. Utilizing the advantages offered by the electric powertrain to craft smooth and slippery, low-drag body lines, the styling imparts an aggressive wind-cleaving look to the body.
2004 WRC
Welshman Gwyndaf Evans clinched a last minute entry into the event and it was his first rally in a modern Group N car in a decade. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution driver may well know his home forests like the back of his hand, however just 10 miles of testing the night before the start in a completely unfamiliar car meant the former British Rally Champion had a mighty challenge ahead. He suffered a puncture and loss of power in the opening leg but fought back on Saturday, matching the times of category victor Alister McRae, until sliding into a ditch in the ninth stage, damaging the intercooler pipe and losing more power. Peter Bijvelds claimed third of the Group N runners in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution but he, like nearly all the crews, suffered his own dramas. Fuel pump problems saw him drop time in the opening leg and although he fought back hard in the second, his efforts proved in vain when the turbo blew in stage 13.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution printer friendly version - Sedan ...
The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX was conceived as a WRC (World Rally Championship) car, so the list of in-cabin technology is about as short as it gets. The lack of a trip computer or a navigation-system option is particularly noticeable. The performance driver will find the cockpit to his or her liking with Recaro seats and an excellent driving position. Under the hood, the 2-liter four-cylinder engine is fitted with an intercooled turbocharger and tuned by the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control (MIVEC) system, a new feature on the 2006. The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX addresses the other half of the performance equation-grip and traction-with a MacPherson strut-front and multilink rear suspension, as well as a hydraulically controlled active center differential (ACD). Unlike electronic stability control, which uses engine-power reduction and selective braking to manage traction, the ACD distributes power to where it can best be used. The ACD offers three modes-Tarmac, Gravel, and Snow-that the driver can select with a button on the dash. The ACD computer looks at the steering wheel angle, the throttle opening, wheel speeds, longitudinal and lateral movements, and information from the ABS computer to decide how it will distribute power between the front and rear wheels.

The 2004 Lancer Evolution (yes, '04) will be avail in January, complete with front bumper mounted intercooler and fatty Brembos. The cars are already in the country and have been for a few weeks now.
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.
