The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, often referred to as the Evo IV, is a high-performance sports sedan produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 1996 to 1997. It was the fourth generation of the Lancer Evolution series, building upon the success of its predecessors with significant advancements in performance and handling. The Evo IV introduced several key innovations, including a new 2.0-liter 4G63T engine with a larger and more efficient turbocharger, a redesigned all-wheel-drive system with an active center differential, and a revised suspension with stiffer springs and dampers. These changes resulted in a substantial horsepower increase to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) and improved handling characteristics that made the Evo IV a formidable competitor in both rally racing and on the road. Visually, the Evo IV retained the iconic compact sedan silhouette of the Lancer Evolution line. However, it featured a more aggressive and aerodynamic design with a larger front bumper, a revised hood with a prominent power bulge, and a rear spoiler. The interior was also upgraded with redesigned seats, a new instrument cluster, and a more driver-focused layout. The Evo IV's reputation for performance and handling made it a highly sought-after vehicle among enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its combination of raw power, precise handling, and a distinctive design cemented its place in automotive history as a true icon of Japanese performance engineering. The Evo IV continued the legacy of its predecessors, pushing the boundaries of performance and leaving an indelible mark on the world of sports cars.
