The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR (Model Revision) is a high-performance sports sedan produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 2003 to 2005. It was the eighth generation of the iconic Lancer Evolution lineage, known for its exceptional handling, powerful engine, and rally-bred heritage. The MR variant, a more focused and track-oriented version, built upon the already impressive foundation of the standard Evolution VIII, featuring a host of refinements to improve performance and handling further. This included a reinforced and stiffened chassis, upgraded suspension components, and a more aggressive aerodynamic package. Notably, the MR also received a unique lightweight BBS forged alloy wheel design for improved weight distribution and handling responsiveness.
Under the hood, the Evolution VIII MR was powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4G63 inline-four engine. This engine, renowned for its reliability and power potential, produced an impressive 280 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque in standard trim. The MR, however, received a revised engine management system and a larger turbocharger, boosting output to a potent 286 horsepower and 303 lb-ft of torque. Power was routed to all four wheels through a robust five-speed manual transmission and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, known as the “Active Yaw Control (AYC)”, contributing to the car's legendary handling and cornering prowess. The Evolution VIII MR’s performance capabilities and rally-inspired design made it a popular choice for both enthusiasts and professional drivers, further solidifying its place as a legend amongst performance cars.
