Mitsubishi Lancer EVO - theSpoke.net
The Evolution II was driven by Kenneth Eriksson and Isolde Holderied. Next came the famous Lancer Evolution III which debuted at the Corsica Rally in 1995, a year and a half after the introduction of the Evolution II. This version (the evo III) is, to this date, a hard to beat contender in the GroupN class.
Mitsubishi LANCER EVO VII Review – Yahoo Cars UK
The Lancer Evolution VII marked a change in focus for Mitsubishis cult rally replica. Based on the Cedia rather than the Carisma platform, it was a more refined and less extrovert car than its direct predecessor, the Evo VI. Due to its less outrageous personality, the Evo VII was slow to find favour with core customers but they gradually appreciated what an excellent product it was. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII may not be most peoples idea of a pretty car, but its certainly a good deal easier on the eye than either of its direct forebears, Evos V and VI. Evolution is said to refine the species, and its certainly rounded off a lot of the rough edges of the Evo bloodline. However, anyone expecting a significant softening of the performance envelope could well be in for a rude awakening.

Two variants are available - the RS and the GSR. The RS is a stripped down and lighter Evolution VI which is aimed towards those wanting to participate in competitions. It has smaller non-Brembo brakes compared to the GSR, has an additional brace attached behind the rear seats, and a different wheel type and design. The RS also doesn't have the front bumper-mounted lamps. The GSR is more a roadgoing version compared to the race-intended RS - it has creature comforts that the RS variant doesn't have such as airconditioning and a radio. The GSR though has bigger brakes with Brembo calipers in front, and has a different wheel type design.
Mitsubishi Unveils Lancer Evolution IX UK Line-Up
Armin Schwarz roared to second place on the Lancer Evolution II's debut at the Acropolis Rally in 1994. Later in the year, Mitsubishi introduced the first electronically controlled active differential and Kenneth Eriksson drove it to victory on its competition debut in the Thailand Rally, which was part of the competitive Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC). The Evolution VI led Mitsubishi's rally challenge from January 1999 to September 2001, during which time it morphed from a Group A car into a World Rally Car. In 1999, Makinen chalked up another four wins to claim an unprecedented fourth successive world driver's championship. The Lancer Evolution VII was the first of the third generation Lancer Evolutions. Based on the all-new Lancer, which had been launched in 2000, the VII heralded the birth of Mitsubishi's All-Wheel control technology.

With the debut of the FIA approved World Rally Class in 1997, carmakers were allowed to compete with one-off, group-A rules-based prototypes with no intention of building for public consumption. Mitsubishi elected to continue the more radical development of the Lancer Evolution Group A vehicle that had already proven its success in competition. The Lancer Evolution VI arrived at the beginning of 2000 with additional enhancements to help maintain its competitiveness with the fast-evolving WRC-spec cars that were competing on the World Rally Circuit. In 2001, with the launch of an all-new Lancer Cedia sedan, the Lancer Evolution VII completed a transformation into an ultra-high tech, super performance sedan whose capability on the road rivaled that of far more exotic machinery.

Continuing on the successes of its predecessors, the all-new Lancer Evolution VII stormed onto the stage in 2001. Based on the fresh-skinned and larger Lancer Cedia platform, the Evolution VII is not just a new model, it's become the best of what has been continuously been evolving through years of development spent at the World Rally Championship. A closer look at an Evolution VI and Evolution VII kit both made by Fujimi would reveal something that might be reasoned out as a cost-cutting measure by Fujimi to extend the use of an Evolution VI mold. It would seem that they retooled the Evolution VI's underchassis mold by lengthening it just a bit (bear in mind that the Evolution VII is bigger than an Evolution VI in every way) instead of making an entirely new underchassis mold which would be unique to the Evolution VII.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS450
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI RS450 is an animal. If any one of the World's Fastest Sedans can be called an animal, it is this car. The RS450 isn't just fast. At least not in the "hey, that car's pretty fast" sense of the word.
