The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV and V, produced from 1996 to 1999, are revered performance cars that cemented the Evolution lineage's reputation for raw speed and handling prowess. These models marked a significant evolution, both literally and figuratively, from their predecessors. The Evolution IV introduced a new 2.0-liter 4G63T engine with a larger turbocharger, delivering a substantial power boost to 280 horsepower. It also featured a revised suspension with a more rigid chassis, wider track, and larger brakes, significantly improving handling and cornering abilities. The iconic "Evo IV" moniker was further solidified by its aggressive aerodynamic styling, including a prominent rear wing and a pronounced front spoiler.

Building upon the success of the Evolution IV, the Evolution V brought further refinements and performance enhancements. While retaining the same engine, the Evolution V benefited from a larger intercooler and revised engine management, increasing power to 280 horsepower. Additionally, the Evolution V featured a sophisticated Active Yaw Control system (AYC), which electronically controlled the rear differential to optimize traction and handling, particularly in cornering situations. The Evolution V also received subtle styling updates, with a new front bumper, rear spoiler, and revised side skirts, further emphasizing its aggressive aesthetic. These improvements solidified the Evolution V's position as one of the most capable and sought-after performance cars of its era, highlighting Mitsubishi's commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and engineering.
