In 1992, Mitsubishi came out with the first Lancer Evolution, powered by a 2L, 250
hp turbocharged-intercooled 4G63 engine with all wheel drive and weighed 2574 lbs. The Evolution began to advance through the EVO II with 260
hp, increasing turbo
boost pressure, the EVO III with 270
hp and a second intercooler, and a larger rear wing, to the EVO IV with the new twin-scroll turbo, to the EVO
V, with it's aluminum spoiler, to the EVO VI with a twinwing spoiler, including a Tommi Makinen version, a heavier
car, to the EVO VII with the new Active Center Differential, to the nicely made EVO VIII...EVO's are a great
car because they are a 4 cylinder with 276
hp and 289
lb-ft stock and are capable of competing with higher classes of cars, such as the Corvette(I shit you not, I saw a stock EVO VIII outrun a stock Corvette)...
