Lancer EVO 1/EVO I Specs & Info
In October of 1992 the EVO 1 went on sale with 2,500 examples being available to meet Group A Rally homologation rules. The first 2,500 cars sold out in 3 days which led to Mitsubishi making another 2.500 cars. The differences between the normal road going Lancer and the Lancer Evolution were huge. The 4G63 powerplant was thoroughly updated with improvements being made to the breathing, turbo, fuel injection as well as the engine internals. A larger front mounted intercooler was installed which included its own water spray system.
Although these changes only gave the car an extra 10bhp the engine was well capable of handling more power. As would be expected with a rally car the body shell was extensively stiffened to cope with the rigors of the Safari and Acropolis Rally’s. The EVO 1 came with a viscous centre differential and a limited slip diff at the rear.
The GSR version was the more focused version and this came with air conditioning, Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel. tinted glass, abs, electric windows and mirrors plus a 6 speaker car audio system. The body work also had to comply with the rally regulations which meant all the scoops and vents which would be used to full effect on the rally car were also present on the road going version of the Lancer Evolution.
The RS EVO was much more focused on the rally stage meaning that it came without ABS, air conditioning, the Recaro seats and the alloy wheels found on the GSR. Instead the RS came with steel wheels and the result of the systems being left off the RS led to a 70kg reduction in weight.

Couple this remarkable agility and adjustability with an engine that gets going at about 3500RPM and climbs with ever increasing savagery to well over 7000rpm and you have a car that is devastatingly fast across the ground….Harry Metcalfe later admits to working pretty hard to keep in touch in the 403bhp EVO X – EVO Magazine Issue 181

Lancer EVO Specs/Information – EVO 2/EVO II
Although the EVO 1 proved extremely popular there were many areas that were improved upon for the EVO 2. The EVO 2 went on sale in December of 1993 and had a production run of 5000 examples, these took just 3 months to sell out.
The improvements of the EVO 1 started with the chassis, the track and wheelbase were increased to give better stability and cornering performance for the road car and the rally car, these track changes allowed the EVO 2 to wear 205/60-R15 tyres without rubbing. The torsional rigidity of the EVO 2 was increased by 30 percent over the EVO 1. Engine power was increased by another 10bhp with the use of a redesigned performance exhaust system and an increases in boost pressure. The gearbox and clutch were uprated and the rear LSD changed meaning that the RS and GSR versions both used the same item. On the outside there was a lower front bumper and an extra element was added to the rear wing. The interior saw even more supportive Recaro seats. The RS now came with same Momo steering wheel as the GSR.

Lancer EVO Specs/Information – EVO 3/EVO III
The EVO 3 was released in January 1995 again with 5,000 examples being available with these being bought up faster than the EVO 2. The exhaust systems was upgraded again for the EVO 3 as a new TD05-16G6-7 turbo was used, this along with a slight increase in engine compression led to a 10bhp power rise. Cosmetically the front of the car was opened up dramatically leading to a much more aggressive look. These changes gave much better cooling not only for the intercooler and engine but also for the brakes. To compliment the new look at the front new side skirts were adopted along with a new rear bumper and new, higher rear wing.

Lancer EVO Specs/Information – EVO 4/EVO IV
Mitsubishi were really starting to hit their stride with the EVO 4, this version was built on the new model Lancer which was released in October 1995 with the first batch of 6,000 EVO 4’s arriving in July of 2006. This number was increased to a total of 9,00 cars as the first batch sold out within three days.
In the EVO 4 the engine was turned through 180degrees to the now familiar transverse layout to allow the use of a new 4wd system. The 4G63 motor in the EVO 4 was the first to use a red cam cover. The engine was also revised with new internals and turbo. The new engine hit the Japanese power ceiling of 280ps with torque increasing by 14 percent. The new turbo was a TD05HR-16G6-9T which was connected to the engine with a newly designed exhaust manifold and downstream to a new higher flowing exhaust system. As the EVO 4 was built around the new Lancer the external differences were many with new bumpers, side skirts and a hoop rear wing in contrast to the previous versions which used a rear wing with a separate element. The EVO 4 saw the first version of Mitsubishi’s Active Yaw Control (AYC). The first version only acted on the rear diff and allowed the torque output to be altered from left to right depending on the attitude of the car. This change basically led to increased traction out of corners and was probably the single biggest improvement made to the Lancer Evolution up to the present day with the later versions using more sophisticated versions of this original AYC system.
The weight of the EVO 4 also increased as did the size of the brake sand the stiffness of the body shell. The GSR got a Momo steering wheel which now incorporated an air bag, passenger side air bag, white faced instrument cluster, new Recaro seats and a bolt on strut brace. The RS version came with a Momo steering wheel minus the air bag.

Lancer EVO Specs/Information – EVO 5/EVO V
Mitsubishi really went to town on the EVO 5 exploiting many more of the Group A rally regulations. Body work and chassis dimensions were increased to the maximum allowed by the Group A regulations. The wider track meant the EVO 5 had to have flared wheel arches to cover the wider 7.5 inch OZ alloy wheels. The bonnet was now home to the largest bonnet vent allowed by the regulations and the rear wing now had two elements.
On the suspension side camber adjusters were now incorporated as standard and new inverted type suspension struts were now used. The EVO 5 also got a new power steering pump which saved a few kgs over the old design. The engine was again revised with new pistons, a new turbo, new intercooler as well as the cooling system allowing the extra torque of this car to be delivered reliably both on the special stage and on the road. Bigger Brembo brakes were used which included 320mm diameter discs and 4 pot calipers with 300m solid discs being found at the back clamped by 2 pot Brembo calipers. The RS came without ABS and came with steel wheels and the same brakes found on previous EVO’s leaving it open to buyers to choose their own brake set up.

Mitsubishi EVO Specs/Information – EVO 6/EVO VI
The EVO 6 looked basically the same expect for a few minor revisions which increased stability and downforce, these were to comply with the new WRC regs. Again the cooling system was further revised which included a new external oil cooler. On the RS the turbo was changed to a TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T item which used a titanium turbine impeller to reduce weight and for increased strength. Both cars were given a better flowing intake pipe. Chassis modifications included forged aluminium suspension arms, extra spot welding, thicker steel and improved adhesive to increase strength and torsional rigidity. The EVO 6 also came with a new design of alloy wheel in the same size as he EVO 5. The interior had blue detailing in the form of stitching, materials and gauge cluster faces. MOMO steering wheel and Recaro seats were still included in the GSR.

Mitsubishi EVO Specs/Information – EVO 6 Tommi Makinen Edition
Unlike most car manufacturers where special editions have only superficial differences from the rest of the model line-up the Tommi Makinen Edition included some core improvements over the standard EVO 6. This included a new TD05HRA-15GK2-10.5T with a titanium turbine wheel, a quieter exhaust system, 10mm lowered suspension and a quicker steering rack. The front bumper lost the large driving lights and were replaced by large vents. The Makinen edition came with Enkei 17inch alloy wheels. 2,500 were made with many believing this to be the best example of the EVO line.

Mitsubishi EVO Specs/Information: EVO 7/EVO VII
Available in January 2001 and controversially based on the Cedia platform the EVO 7 was heavier, bigger and less focused than previous versions. The engine in the EVO 7 featured hollow camshafts and a magnesium alloy cam cover to reduce weight at the top of the engine. The biggest improvement came with the update of the AYC which now worked with the ABS and had manually selectable settings of Snow, Gravel and Tarmac. The chassis was reworked but still used MacPherson struts at the front and multi link suspension at the rear. Mitsubishi claimed that the EVO 6 was a better handling car than the Tommi Makinen edition but many disagree. The interior got super supportive Recaro seats a new design of MOMO steering wheel with the rev-counter now placed centrally in front of the driver but unfortunately tyre car lacked auxiliary gauges. A redesigned rear spoiler was evident which increased downforce without increasing drag.

EVO End of Term March 2003 EVO Magazine – John Barker
“11 months has been like living life with a finger on the fast forward button…….its resillient ride, neck snapping on/off power delivery, manically short gearing & intake blare left me feeling as if I’d been assaulted….Co-ed Richard Meaden wrote, its like being caught up in a series of explosions…you can’t expect more than 20mpg…..only a hardened Caterham or Radical driver would complain about lack of sharpness because the EVO RS is full on whether your going to work or down the Craner Curves”
