As with all large government databases, there are errors in this dataset especially since quite a lot of the data for older vehicles is based on paper records that were originally maintained by local authorities. The most common error that crops up is vehicles that don't have exactly the correct model variant recorded on their V5 registration document. For example, a special edition Peugeot Gentry might only have Peugeot recorded on its V5.
This can lead to some model variants appearing to be rarer than they actually are. The key to understanding whether or not the data is accurate for your particular model is to check the model name on its V5 registration document. If it's not what you expect it to be, then it's likely that the DVLA statistics for that model aren't very accurate!
It got an engine detuned to hp and lbft, 5-speed Invecs-II semi-automatic gearbox, milder aero kits, more luxurious interior and softer suspension in order to attract less hardcore drivers. Mitsubishi now needed more sales to justify for its development costs. Evo VIII A s the rally campaign had switched to WRC-spec machines which had less relevance to the road car, Mitsubishi could slower the pace of the Evo's development. Style-wise, it could be easily distinguished from the old car by a new corporate grille and an extended front overhang which reserved space for an anti-intrusion bar required by US regulations.
Extra ventilation holes were opened on the front bumper to feed the larger intercooler. In addition to modified exhaust and a more efficient turbocharger, the long-serving 4G63 motor produced another 7 lbft of torque at lbft. Horsepower remained at , but most believed the actual figure should be The big news was a new 6-speed close-ratio manual gearbox, which helped the new car to recoup the performance lost in Evo VII.
The AYC active yaw control was upgraded to Super AYC, using planetary gear instead of bevel gears to double the amount of torque transfer allowed between rear wheels. It steering became even shaper, without understeer even approaching its cornering limit. The cash-strapped Mitsubishi now wanted even more return on investment on the Evolution series.
On the one hand, the Evo IX was no longer a limited production. Mitsubishi would supply as many as demand. On the other hand, it introduced a cheaper version called simply "Lancer Evolution" to the USA market.
This car was 70 kg heavier due to the addition of anti-intrusion bar added to the nose. Emission regs dragged down its power to hp, so it was slower than the Japanese version. More than 10, cars were sold in the United States. Its turbocharging system was tuned to deliver stronger high-rev output though still quoted hp and a little more torque again.
Some weight saving measures cut 10 kilos from the kerb weight. In particular, the roof was made in aluminum to lower center of gravity. Bilstein dampers improved ride a little. Exterior remained unchanged though.
Evo IX A nother 2 years had passed and the 9th generation debuted in March This was also the last one built on the contemporary Lancer platform and with the legendary 4G63 engine. The latter gained MIVEC intake variable valve timing and, accompanied with yet another fine tuning of the turbochargying system, produced slightly more torque and a flatter torque curve.
Like the previous MR, the roof was made of aluminum — this made the new MR model less significant. The rear spoiler was made of hollow carbon-fiber. Cosmetically, it abandoned the previous corporate grille and returned to a no-nonsense one. Aerodynamics was barely revised. The Evo IX was the least improved generation of all. Evo X W hen Evo X was launched in October , it caused a lot of controversies. For the first time in the history of Evolution, this car was completely renewed, so new that many didn't see it as the same breed.
This hampered its straight line performance as well as agility on narrow mountain roads. The all-new 4B11 motor remained 2 liters, but it had an aluminum block and modern dual-VVT to boost maximum torque to lbft. Horsepower was initially quoted as hp JIS or hp SAE , but a year later the Japanese rating was lifted to hp as Mitsubishi followed Subaru to abandon the voluntary limit.
He managed to hit Upon the release of the hit film 2 Fast 2 Furious , fans were quick to notice that one of the cars driven by Paul Walker in the movie was a Lancer Evolution. Or was it? Most of the Lancers we see in the movie were actually standard models modified to look like Evos. The car plays a significant role in the story of the film, but some fans felt it was sacrilege to use an AWD car as a drift car. However, it had been heavily modified and converted to RWD.
Other than going sideways, this Evo was actually worse than the standard car at everything - it was even 2 seconds slower to 60 mph than a stock EVO. Ok, so it turns out there are actually some professional drifters who prefer to get their kicks using the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.
During its time of reign, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo was one of the most sought-after cars due to its incredible tuning potential. Several people have claimed to have been able to get more than horsepower from the 2. And there are also plenty of other performance enhancements available to make it corner like it's on rails.
The Evo VI Extreme is the rarest Evo of them all, with only 29 being built, which also makes it one of the most collectible. It was built by Ralliart UK and launched in No wonder it ended up being widely acclaimed by the automotive press.
The Lancer Evo was one of the most popular rally cars during its heyday. All the Evo RS models actually came with steel wheels, and many of the Evo RS models also came with thinner body panels and thinner glass as an option. This isn't unheard of when it comes to performance cars. Often the models intended for motorsport use will come with lower specs and stripped of all creature comforts.
