The 1997-1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, V, and VI, often referred to as the EVO 4, EVO 5, and EVO 6, represent a significant chapter in the evolution of the iconic Lancer Evolution lineage. These models emerged as a direct response to the homologation rules of Group A rallying, where manufacturers were required to produce a limited number of road-going versions of their competition cars. This led to the development of high-performance road cars with advanced features and technologies that pushed the boundaries of performance. The EVO 4, 5, and 6, renowned for their exceptional handling and raw power, were built upon the foundation laid by their predecessors, incorporating a multitude of improvements. These included a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged 4G63 engine, producing increasing levels of power from 276 hp in the EVO 4 to 280 hp in the EVO 5 and finally 282 hp in the EVO 6, coupled with a refined all-wheel-drive system, an advanced suspension, and a lightweight, aerodynamically efficient body.

The EVO 4, 5, and 6 quickly gained a reputation for their impressive performance on both road and track. Their advanced all-wheel-drive system, equipped with a sophisticated Active Yaw Control (AYC) system in the EVO 5 and 6, provided remarkable traction and cornering stability. The lightweight aluminum body and the advanced suspension, featuring a double-wishbone front and multilink rear setup, further enhanced the handling characteristics. These models represented a significant step forward for Mitsubishi in terms of performance and technology, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide. Their sharp styling, aggressive performance, and rally heritage cemented their status as iconic sports cars, leaving a lasting legacy in the automotive world.
