The 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, specifically the Evo 4 and Evo 5 models, marked a significant chapter in the legendary Evolution lineage. Born from the homologation requirements for rallying, the Evo 4 and 5 embodied a potent blend of performance, handling, and practicality. These cars were built to dominate the World Rally Championship (WRC) and quickly became favorites among enthusiasts for their raw power and thrilling driving experience. Under the hood, both models featured a 2.0-liter 4G63 turbocharged four-cylinder engine, generating 260 horsepower in the Evo 4 and a slightly more potent 276 horsepower in the Evo 5. The power was channeled through a robust five-speed manual transmission, sending power to all four wheels via a sophisticated all-wheel drive system. The Evo 4 and 5 featured advanced suspension systems, featuring MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, providing exceptional handling and grip. Beyond their impressive performance, the Evo 4 and 5 were also practical and comfortable for everyday driving. They offered a surprisingly spacious interior for a rally-bred car, with comfortable seats, a well-designed dashboard, and basic amenities. The Evo 5 further refined the interior with upgraded materials and a more sophisticated design. While designed primarily for performance, the Evo 4 and 5 were surprisingly practical, with a decent-sized trunk and reasonable fuel economy for a car of its power. The 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Evo 4 and Evo 5 remain iconic vehicles, sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. They represent the pinnacle of Japanese performance car engineering, offering a unique combination of power, handling, and practicality that makes them memorable and highly desirable even today.
