The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, often referred to as the Evo IV, was a high-performance sports sedan produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 1996 to 1998. The fourth installment in the iconic Evolution lineage, the Evo IV showcased significant advancements in both performance and technology compared to its predecessor. It was powered by a 2.0-liter, 4G63T inline-four engine tuned to produce 276 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. The Evo IV also featured an advanced all-wheel-drive system with an Active Yaw Control (AYC) system that electronically controlled the torque distribution between the rear wheels, allowing for greater handling precision and stability. This system, a first for the Evolution series, drastically improved cornering performance and overall driving dynamics. The Evo IV's exterior design remained recognizable as part of the Evolution family, but with refined aerodynamics that further enhanced its performance. It boasted a larger front grille, a rear spoiler, and flared wheel arches, all contributing to improved downforce and stability at high speeds. The interior was also updated with a new dashboard, sporty bucket seats, and a revised center console, emphasizing driver-focused ergonomics and comfort. While the Evo IV cemented its reputation as a potent performance machine, it also offered a greater level of comfort and practicality compared to its predecessors, making it a more well-rounded and desirable package for both enthusiasts and daily drivers.
