In 1992, Mitsubishi came out with the first
Lancer Evolution, powered by a 2L, 250 hp turbocharged-intercooled 4G63 engine with all wheel drive and weighed 2574 lbs. The Evolution began to advance through the EVO II with 260 hp, increasing
turbo boost pressure, the EVO III with 270 hp and a second intercooler, and a larger rear wing, to the EVO IV with the new twin-scroll turbo, to the EVO V, with it's aluminum spoiler, to the EVO VI with a twinwing spoiler, including a Tommi
Makinen version, a heavier car, to the EVO VII with the new Active Center Differential, to the nicely made EVO VIII...
EVO's are a great car because they are a 4 cylinder with 276 hp and 289 lb-ft stock and are capable of competing with higher classes of cars, such as the Corvette(I shit you not, I saw a stock EVO VIII outrun a stock Corvette)...
