Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Vehicle Overview

Highly evolved.

Introducing the next generation of performance. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. It's the most powerful, most agile, most technologically advanced Lancer Evolution we've ever built. This entirely redesigned and reengineered Evolution is more impressive in every category, inside and out . One glance at its sleek new exterior will make that clear. And one breath-taking drive will leave no doubt that for astounding performance, it's the natural selection.

Encore performance.

Lancer Evolution's astounding performance is stronger than ever, and while evolution continues to improve with each generation, two factors of this winning equation have remained the same: all Lancer Evolutions are powered by a 2.0-Liter turbocharged engine and all possess the grip of all-wheel-drive.

The newest powerplant is a technological tour de force, with features like an advanced twin-scroll turbo charger, intercooler, and an aluminum cylinder head and block. With the lightest and strongest engine it's ever had, the 2008 Lancer Evolution is one fast act to follow.

Performance from the inside.

This Lancer Evolution is built on the most rigid foundation ever. The stiff unibody construction lets the suspension do what it's engineered to do: soak up bumps and g-forces. Careful use of technology, including aluminum roof, hood and fenders, and a rear-mounted battery optimize weight distribution front to rear and lower the centre of gravity.

There's nothing like a few curves to set you straight.

Few things lift the spirit like an exhilarating drive. Especially when that drive is in the Lancer Evolution. Forged with our rigid reinforced impact safety evolution (rise) unibody, this is our best-handling Lancer Evolution yet. While we made evolution stronger, we used a variety of weight saving measures like an aluminum roof and aluminum control arms to help keep the Lancer Evolution - and your spirits - light.

Race-Ready Brakes.

Evolution MR's racing-inspired Brembo brakes feature 2-piece rotors with aluminum rotor hats. This reduces un-sprung and rotating weight for better handling and performance without sacrificing any braking ability.

Top-Shelf Suspension

Race cars use the best parts for every purpose no matter what the brand. We brought this philosophy to Lancer Evolution MR, too - EIBACH® springs and BILSTEIN® struts give uncompromising performance and handling. This suspension also keeps the ride supple over real-world pavement, with tough forged-aluminum control arms and enough travel for tough roads.
