The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV and V, known colloquially as the EVO IV and V, represent a pivotal point in the evolution of the Lancer Evolution lineage. These generations, produced from 1997 to 1998, built upon the success of their predecessors while incorporating significant advancements in performance and technology. The EVO IV, launched in 1996, introduced a larger, 2.0-liter 4G63 engine with a revised cylinder head and a smaller turbocharger, resulting in a power increase to 280 horsepower. The exterior received subtle yet impactful modifications, including a more aggressive front bumper, a larger rear spoiler, and redesigned side skirts. The interior featured a revised instrument panel and a new driver-oriented cockpit layout. The EVO V, launched in 1998, further refined the formula by introducing an electronically controlled active center differential (ACD) and a revised suspension, enhancing handling and traction. A new Brembo brake system with larger rotors and calipers improved braking performance. Visually, the EVO V retained the aggressive styling of the EVO IV, with subtle refinements to the front bumper and rear spoiler.

The EVO IV and V's reputation for performance and handling prowess solidified their standing as formidable rally cars and street machines. Their lightweight construction, advanced all-wheel-drive system, and powerful turbocharged engine combined to deliver exhilarating driving experiences. Their intricate mechanical systems, however, demanded specialized knowledge for maintenance and repair. Comprehensive workshop manuals, repair manuals, and service manuals were essential resources for owners, mechanics, and enthusiasts seeking to fully understand and maintain these iconic vehicles. These manuals provided detailed instructions on everything from routine maintenance procedures and component identification to advanced troubleshooting techniques and repair procedures. Owners and mechanics could rely on these manuals to ensure their EVO IV and V remained in optimal condition and continued to deliver the exhilarating performance they were known for.
