Is the Mitsubishi Evo really a wolf in sheep’s clothing, possibly just simply something of a real contender up the with the likes of GT-R or Supra or in reality is it just this car that qualifies as a supercar of the highest order.
Once a car a undergone the treatment that turns it into a what we are looking at today, it ceases to be a normal production car and becomes something spectacular beyond what we call a Evo it becomes a one off.
The owner of this Evo had very distinct plans and requirement for the car, that only major work could take care of and this is not easy major work means plenty of hours and cash to spend. Apart from the obvious body changes, the front grill had been designed to push air into the intercooler for great airflow.
The bumper is standard but has the addition of a Voltex carbon diffuser and an adjustable carbon GT wing throw in a set of nineteen inch chrome Advan RS wheels with huge 275/30-19 Bridgestone Potenza R-01R tyres.
First point of call in the engine department is the addition of a HKS 2.3l Stoker kit, this adds an additional 300 cc, plus allows for low rev driving.
Inside there are Recaro racing seats with Takata racing harness. The brilliant Key!s Racing Alcantara steering wheel overlooking the custom fitted Defi Super Sports Cluster with organic LED display and dash remote control that looks so cool.
