Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX 9
In 1992, the original Evo made a cautious debut, more than a decade later, the new Evolution IX (Evo 9) has hit the domestic market in Japan, creating the next chapter in the history of Mitsubishi’s almost-mythical hero car.
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 Japan’s maximum allowed limit of 209kw and 355Nm of torque. In the UK the evolution 9 is available in a few different flavours (apart from the stock one) 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 which is available in Australia and that does 0-100 in 5.7 seconds.
Mitsubishi’s ninth Lancer Evolution takes the story to a new place, not so much in terms of appearance, but certainly performance.
