We have looked at many versions of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, but the best has to be the eighth generation, sure the ninth and tenth versions are better equipped. However, they also cost a lot more so the difference between the different versions will have an effect on the modifications that the import builder is able the carry out, therefore this is why the Evo 8 is the best for the job at the moment.
All Evos use
It makes no difference what you feel about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo you have to hand it to the firm for producing a car that actually lives up to the Evolution term. For since its launch way back in 1992 the design team have work on the next model and then the next, this has continued until the present day where we see the tenth evolution. However, this time we will be looking a couple of years back at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse is one of those strange cars that a manufacturer through its international partnerships shares and so we end up with the same car, but with many brand names. This is cool for the car maker but highly confusing for some consumers and the Mitsubishi Eclipse is no exception, this car is also known as the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser through the DSM partnership.
However, we will stick to
When the Fresh Touring Origination (FTO) was first brought out by Mitsubishi in 1994, it was a step up in design and performance for a car of this size and market slot, but it is a sad fact only around 36,000 of these cars were made over the six year production run. This is a real shame because; this is a car that offered the consumer some serious performance and styling unlike anything else seen in the sector of the market.
So
In the six of production, Mitsubishi Motors built around 37,000 FTO’s so it is highly likely that today that number has reduced considerably and therefore we are looking at a rare machine indeed. Not only is the FTO a decent two seat sports car that offers a choice of a 1.8 litre or the 2.0 litre power unit, with a five manual, four speed or five speed semi auto gearbox, this is a very desirable car.
During its time the car had
I know that it is easy to say this about any car, but I really do think that the Mitsubishi Eclipse has to be one of the most under rated cars around at the moment as it is sporty, has a great look to it and there is a beautiful 3.0 litre V6 sitting snugly under that hood! Cars do not really come any better than this, sure, there are rivals but this is one serious machine and this one has been skilfully modified too!
The
On paper, the Evo VIII is the eighth generation of the popular Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution range, but in reality, the chassis is more of less the same. But, it is mainly the addition of the 17 inch grey Enkei wheels, Brembo Brakes and Bilstein shocks that makes this version stand apart from the seventh generation Lancer and yet every couple of years a new version of the car would appear, each one with its differences.
There is no denying that out of all the cars that are around the Mitsubishi Evolution is probably one of the only cars that actually lives up to its name, evolution! To find the original, you would need to step back in time to 1992 this is when Mitsubishi launched the Lancer, the car was developed for the World Rally Championship and so the first Evolution was born offering performance and reliability for the buyer.
Normally there are three sorts of modified car, first up is the privateer these are folks that have the vision and skills to build something spectacular but they are also often limited by funds and time, so their projects will take slightly longer to complete. However, usually these are the cars that really stand out in the crowd and what makes being an import builder so cool.
Then there are the com
The Mitsubishi 3000GT may have started off as the Mitsubishi GTO but whatever they call it this is a very interesting machine with an even more interesting background. The Mitsubishi 3000GT or GTO has been with us since the early nineties and with some minor changes only, this car is more or less the same car over its ten year production run, which is quite extraordinary for time when car production was at its height.
