The 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV-V represents a pivotal phase in the evolution of the iconic Lancer Evolution series. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Evolution III, the IV and V models further refined the performance formula, taking the car to new heights of handling agility and raw power. These iterations introduced several significant upgrades, including a redesigned front bumper with larger air intakes for improved cooling, a revised rear diffuser for enhanced aerodynamics, and a more robust suspension system utilizing Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs. Power was derived from a 2.0-liter 4G63 turbocharged four-cylinder engine, generating 276 horsepower in the IV and a slightly boosted 280 horsepower in the V. The Evolution IV-V also boasted a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system with a center differential lock, enabling drivers to tailor the power delivery for optimal performance in various driving conditions. Notably, the Evolution V introduced a new active yaw control system, which actively controlled the braking force at individual wheels to enhance stability and cornering precision. The 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV-V cemented its reputation as a formidable rally car and a highly sought-after performance machine for enthusiasts. Its exceptional handling, powerful engine, and advanced all-wheel-drive technology made it a true force to be reckoned with on both the track and the open road. While production numbers remained relatively limited, these cars garnered a loyal following and continue to be prized by collectors and driving enthusiasts. The Evolution IV-V not only set a benchmark for performance and handling in the late 1990s but also laid the foundation for the future iterations of the Lancer Evolution, cementing its place as a legend in the world of automotive performance.
