Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV

1996 – 1998

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, known as the 'Evo', is a renowned sports sedan and rally car that Mitsubishi Motors produced from 1992 to 2016. With ten official versions identified by Roman numerals, each model boasts a two-liter intercooled turbo inline four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive system. Originally designed for the Japanese market, the Evolution series expanded to the UK and various European markets in the late 1990s due to high demand in the "grey import" market. However, it wasn't until 2003 that Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth-generation Evolution to the United States, influenced by Subaru's success with the Impreza WRX. Before the release of the Evolution IX in 2005, all versions adhered to an industry agreement limiting power to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) for domestic markets. Key points: 1.
