2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

The Lancer Evolution is different enough from the bargain front-wheel-drive Lancer to be considered a completely different car. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged and intercooled engine, riding on a modified all-wheel-drive platform, and putting power down through a six-speed manual gearbox, the ninth generation of the Evo is a true sports car. All are fitted with a special front fascia, a big rear wing, and a rear-window wiper, sports seats and a few special interior features, though not much different from the basic Lancer in terms on trim. The Evo comes with 17-inch alloy wheels and grippy P235/45WR17 tyres. In addition to these features, the Evo IX gets an active center differential switch and Brembo brakes with sport ABS and EBD, plus convenience and safety features like power windows and mirrors, and dual airbags. The all-wheel-drive system is computer-controlled to determine how much power to send to each wheel in varying situations.
