And let’s not forget the Super All-Wheel Control System.

Provided that Mitsubishi’s long-standing involvement with support of the National MS Society, it was the only fitting brand to donate the first Lancer Evolution off the production line for the US market. Furthermore, Brooklyn Mitsubishi is currently the top ranking Mitsubishi dealer in New York and has even plans to display the Final Edition in the dealership showroom.
This is how history is made. One of the most powerful and most beautiful vehicles finally revealed its full potential not only as a sporty vehicle, but also as a piece of history.
