Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

This is the best offering from the Japanese car maker, Mitsubishi because of its sporty look and the cheap price among the sports cars on offer today.

Since 2005, Mitsubishi has brought in the Lancer Evolutions IX (9) as a standard model. The 2.0 Litre MIVEC Turbocharged DOHC with VVT Engine that sits in the Evo 9 produces a maximum of 209kw and 355Nm of torque. The evolution 9 is available in a few different flavours such as the Evo 9 FQ 320 and FQ 340 both doing with 0 to 100 in 4.3 seconds – yes 4.3 seconds, faster than a BMW M3 and a Porsche 911. The Evo 9 FQ 280 (the number representing the horsepower) is the one that does 0-100 in 5.7 seconds.

A little tweaking of the Mitsubishi Evolution IX can produce so much more power. The Evo 9 can leave the likes of majority of V8 ‘sports car’ in its dust making the best among the class.

Evolution 9 still suffer the dull interiors. Sure the Evolution 9 uses fantastic recaro seats and gigantic brembo brakes, but the dash and dials leave a great deal to the imagination. However given its price tag and the performance, you really can’t complain. You can get more here: www.mitsubishicars.com www.caradvice.com.au
