Why Evo IX?


2007 Mitsubishi Evolution IX MR

The 2.0-liter engine still delivers 286 horsepower, but a modified turbo spools up quicker than before.

Even if you drive like a hooligan, the revised Evo IX keeps scrambling for traction

Sticky Yokohama tires on forged-aluminum wheels plus Brembo brakes help keep you out of trouble.



Black interior affords a businesslike office in which to work, but creature comforts aren't part of the program.

MR Edition is the only Evo with a six-speed transmission, offering close-ratio 5th and 6th gears for high-speed driving.





Altered yaw-control unit dials in more torque to the outside rear wheel, helping the car to quickly pivot into the corner.



There might be a lot of drama on the outside, but all-wheel drive takes the drama out of the cockpit.


Sticky tires, all-wheel drive and limited-slip differentials help the Evo IX slice past apexes straight and true.
