The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV (Evo IV) and Evolution V (Evo V) are high-performance sport sedans that cemented Mitsubishi's reputation as a manufacturer of formidable rally cars. Released in 1996 and 1998, respectively, these models built upon the success of the Evo III, incorporating a number of significant upgrades that enhanced both performance and drivability. The Evo IV introduced a revised engine, the 4G63T, with a larger turbocharger and intercooler, resulting in a substantial power increase to 276 hp. The suspension also received a complete overhaul, with stiffer springs, larger anti-roll bars, and revised geometry to improve handling and cornering ability. A redesigned front bumper and a more aggressive rear spoiler added to the car's aggressive styling. The Evo V further refined the formula, with an increased focus on driver feedback and control. Key changes included a new active yaw control system, which utilized a sophisticated system of sensors and actuators to manage the car's yaw rate and improve stability during cornering. The engine received a minor power bump, and the brakes were upgraded with larger discs and high-performance pads. The Evo V also introduced a new lightweight, high-performance, forged connecting rod, which improved the engine's strength and durability, particularly under high-stress conditions. These improvements resulted in a car that offered a unique blend of raw performance and driver engagement, making it a formidable contender on both the rally stage and the track. Today, the Evo IV and Evo V remain highly sought-after by enthusiasts, appreciating their historical significance and potent performance capabilities.
