Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2.
Subaru had in that market with their long- time direct rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the advertised power figures, with the Japanese- spec Evolution IX reaching an alleged output of around 3. PS (2. 36 k. W; 3. Various versions available in other markets, particularly the UK, have official power outputs up to 4. PS (3. 28 k. W; 4.

The tenth and final generation of the Lancer Evolution was launched in Japan 2. Evolution I. This engine was also used in the Mitsubishi RVR with the Hyper Sports Gear trim package, and the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT. The RS was a stripped- down version that lacked (power) windows and seats, anti- lock brakes, a rear wiper, and had steel wheels to weigh approximately 7.
GSR, ready for racing or tuning. The RS version was released with a mechanical plate type rear Limited- slip differential (LSD). The GSR came with all of the conveniences of a typical street car, including a digital screen climate control system. It came with Mitsubishi's 4. G6. 3 engine producing 2.
PS (1. 82 k. W; 2. N. 5,0. 00 of the first generation Evolutions were sold between 1. Top speed was 2. 28 km/h (1.
The GSR version of the Evolution I was the only Evolution Lancer released with a Viscous Limited Slip Rear Differential (VLSD). The subsequent Evolution Lancer models all featured rear mechanical plate type LSD's. Evolution II. It consisted mainly of handling improvements, including minor wheelbase adjustments, lighter front swaybar that connected via swaybar links to the front struts, bodywork tweaks including a larger spoiler, and tires that were 1. This Evolution also has a 5.
US gal; 1. 1. 0 imp gal) fuel tank. Power output was increased to 2. PS (1. 88 k. W; 2. GSR and RS models. Evolution III. New, more aggressive styling and a new nose moulding improved the air supply to the radiator, intercooler and brakes.
New side skirts and rear bumper moldings and a larger rear spoiler were added to reduce lift. Improved engine had higher compression ratio than before. The engine and transaxle was rotated 1.
There were two versions available, The RS and GSR. The RS version was produced as a competition car with a limited- slip front differential and a friction type LSD at the rear. It also came with GLX seats and a choice of either 1.
The RS also had wind up windows, optional air conditioning in some models, and a few extra brace bars to strengthen the chassis, one behind the front grill and the other across the boot floor. The GSR and the RS shared a new twin scroll turbocharger which helped to improve response and increase power to 2. PS (2. 06 k. W; 2. N. Mitsubishi's new Active Yaw Control appeared as a factory option on the GSR model, which used steering, throttle input sensors and g sensors to computer- hydraulically control torque split individually to the rear wheels and as a result the 1. Evolution IVs produced all sold quickly. The Evolution IV can be distinguished by its two large fog lights in the front bumper (option on RS version), and the newly designed tail lights on the rear, which became a standard design to Evolution V, which would become yet another trademark of the Evolution series.
This new generation was slightly heavier than previous Evos. Much of the technical improvements for this generation were also used in the second generation Mitsubishi RVR sold only in Japan. Evolution V. The pistons were lighter with a smaller skirt area.
Torque was increased to 3. N. Power officially stayed the same, at 2. PS (2. 06 k. W; 2.
Evolution VI. It received a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with a titanium- aluminide turbine wheel for the RS model, which was a first in a production car. The Evolution VI received new bodywork yet again, with the most easily noticeable change being within the front bumper where the huge fog lights were reduced in size and moved to the corners for better airflow.
A new model was added to the GSR and RS lineup; known as the RS2, it was an RS with a few of the GSR's options. Another limited- edition RS was known as the RS Sprint, an RS tuned by Ralliart in the UK to be lighter and more powerful with 3. W). Yet another special edition Evolution VI was released in 1. Tommi M. It featured a different front bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats (with embossed T.
Amongst other colours, the Evo VI came in either red (Tommi M. This car is also sometimes referred to as an Evolution 6. The Evolution VII was based on the larger Lancer Cedia platform and as a result gained more weight over the Evolution VI, but Mitsubishi 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. Torque was increased again to 3. N. Seen as the 'gentleman's express' version of the visually similar VII GSR and the RS2, the GT- A model was only produced in 2. GT- A- only diamond cut finish 1.
Evolution VIII). The GT- A had the option of either no spoiler, the short spoiler (as per the Lancer Cedia; and later used on the Evolution VIII 2. Evolution VII models. The most distinguishing feature was a smooth bonnet with no air- grills on it at all and the revised front bumper. Although offering inferior cooling capabilities, the bonnet was designed to give a cleaner line through the air with less air resistance at motorway speeds. Interior could be specified with factory options of a deluxe velour interior, full leather or the Recaro sports seats.
The GT- A interior was different in that it had chromed door handles, a different instrument panel (to show the gear selection) and chrome edged bezels around the speedo and tach. The GT- A also had additional sound deadening installed from the factory and the engine manifold and downpipe had been engineered to be quieter. The 5- speed automatic gearbox had what Mitsubishi called .
The gears could be manually selected as with most Tiptronics via steering wheel + and . Power was down a little from the standard manual cars with 2. PS (2. 00 k. W; 2. The GT- A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII but has been installed in the estate version of the Evolution IX Wagon. It was replaced by the Twin Clutch SST gearbox since the introduction of Evolution X.
Evolution VIII. 2. Originally a one off model, sales were so successful in the U. S. The new Evolution also sported chrome housing tail lights and head lights. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR uses slick- response Bilsteinshocks for improved handling.
The aluminium roof panel and other reductions in body weight have lowered the centre of gravity to produce more natural roll characteristics. Detail improvements have also been made to Mitsubishi's own electronic four- wheel drive, to the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction control, and to the Sports ABS systems.

The boost, timing, and tuning are also significantly lower than its Japanese counterpart, allowing it to adhere to the strict emissions regulations of the United States. Starting in 2. 00.
US model Evos were also fitted with a 5. Most Evolution VIIIs have a carbon fiber rear spoiler with matching body- color endplates.
Furthermore, the US versions of the Lancer Evolution VIII 2. All Evos have lightweight aluminum front fenders and hoods. The basic RS Edition does not come with power windows, locks, or mirrors, an audio system, rear wing, sound deadening material, map lamps or an anti- lock braking system.

Additionally, MR Editions come equipped with a 6- speed transmission, Bilstein shocks, Optional graphite grey color and factory optional BBS wheels. The MR Edition also received engine updates and reliability changes, the engine updates include larger turbo diameter mouth, updated cam profiles, lighter balance shafts and changed from single wastegate solenoid to dual solenoid.
