You pull up to a stoplight in your brand new
Ferrari.

You're probably listening to Woomp There It Is.

And what pulls up next to you on the line
but a four-door sedan with fog lights and

The little sedan next to you, apparently not
understanding that you're in a Ferrari, revs it's engine.

You my friend just met yourself a Lancer
Evolution

and your life will never be the same again.

This is everything you need to know to get
up to speed on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

The Mitsubishi Lancer was introduced in 1973. It was a good little car.

In the 70s and 80s, Mitsubishi decided that
they wanted to improve their global image

with motorsport, and their sport of choice
was Rally.

They gave the little Lancer a bigger motor
and took it racing.

This was the dawn of Mitsubishi becoming one
of the most iconic names in Rally.

By the late 80s Mitsubishi was developing
a Group B program with an AWD version of their Starion.

The Starion prototype performed well but before the car was fully developed,

Group B was outlawed following a number of fatal
crashes in 1985 and 86.

So Mitsubishi was left with an almost fully
developed racecar, but nowhere to race it.

You take the drivetrain from the Starion,
you toss it under a Galant and you enter it

The Galant performed well from 1988 until
1992, but European rally stages suddenly got

too tight for big fat sedans and a number
of manufacturers switched to

Ford replaced the Sierra with the Escort,
Subaru the Legacy with the Impreza, Toyota

the Celica with the Corolla, and Mitsubishi
the Galant with the LANCER BABY!

Guess who's back in town dad, and I have
an earing now!

In true Mitsubishi fashion, they took the
guts of the Galant, and put it in the smaller,

But they couldn't just call it a “Lancer”.

This thing had AWD, a big turbo, racing
suspension, aero..

To conform with Class A regulations, 2500
road cars had to be produced.

So in October of 1992, the first Lancer Evolution
One's showed up in Japanese showrooms.

The initial run sold out in less than three
days!

The RS version came with NO power windows,
NO power seats, NO anti-lock brakes, NO rear wiper

But what it did come with was AWD and a 244
horsepower version of the legendary 4G63 engine. There is no Evo without the 4g63.

This motor is so good that upgraded versions
of it powered every single generation of EVO

In 1993, Mitsubishi tweaked
the Evo I into the Evo II.

There weren't a lot of big upgrades on this
one--lighter sway bar, bigger spoiler, and

Pretty standard upgrades for the second year
of a build.

Our wallet's still kinda hurtin from the
engine swap.

I should also note that meanwhile on the rally
circuit, Mitsubishi's arch rival, Subaru,

And in 1995, they introduced the kind of new,
but pretty improved Evo 3.

New look, bigger holes in the front for better
cooling, bigger intercooler for better cooler,

bigger spoiler, new sideskirts, different
bumpers, higher compression in the engine,

--please do not tell my wife I spent money on a bigger turbo,

The first big redesign though, came in 96
with the Evo 4.

which is basically a robot that tells the car when

Most importantly though, it also got two huge
fog lights built into the front bumper.

How are people gonna know it's a rally car?

It was it this point that Mitsubishi's hard
work started to really pay off on the rally stage.

Finnish racing legend Tommi Makinen won the
WRC driver's championship four times behind

Uh, Subaru I would politely ask you to suck it.

The Evo 5 and 6 were more or less the same
as the 4.

In 2001, the Evo 7 moved into a new slightly
heavier chassis and introduced a host of suspension

More importantly, however, the Evo VII brought
with it the Active Center Differential, which

in combination with Active Yaw Controls, allowed
… and I'm not sure if this is the proper

engineering term, I'm gonna try and pronounce
this right ummm...

While the world watched the Evo race through
the woods, we guys in the US were f*ckin sidelined.

Americans were chompin at the collective bit for the nimble little 4 door sedan

with the big wing and the fog lights and the turbo

When Gran Turismo was introduced in 1997,
both the Evo III and IV were included in the game.
