## The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV: A Performance Icon Emerges The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, produced from 1996 to 1998, was a significant step forward in the evolution of the renowned Lancer Evolution lineage. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Evo III, the Evo IV introduced a plethora of enhancements aimed at refining its performance and handling capabilities. Key improvements included a revised suspension system with a new independent rear multilink setup, contributing to a more stable and predictable handling experience. The car also boasted a larger, more powerful 2.0-liter 4G63T engine, capable of producing an impressive 272 horsepower. Notably, the Evo IV was the first model to feature the iconic "Evo" badge, solidifying its place as a performance benchmark in the automotive world. Beyond mechanical upgrades, the Evo IV featured a distinctive new aerodynamic design with a more aggressive front bumper, wider fenders, and a large rear spoiler. This design not only enhanced the car's aesthetics but also aided in achieving better downforce and improved stability at high speeds. The Evo IV was available in two distinct trim levels: RS and GSR. The RS version focused on pure performance, featuring lightweight components such as a bare-bones interior and Recaro bucket seats. The GSR, on the other hand, offered a more comfortable and functional experience with amenities like air conditioning and a premium sound system. Regardless of trim level, the Evo IV was a true performance machine that quickly gained a loyal following, solidifying its legacy as a potent and exciting road-legal race car.
