About the 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
The Evolution IV represents Mitsubishi's rally-bred masterpiece at its purest form. Built around the legendary 4G63T 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 280 horsepower, this all-wheel-drive weapon dominated Group A rallying and became the blueprint for modern performance sedans. The IV introduced the iconic whale tail spoiler and refined the Active Yaw Control system that made these cars legendary for their point-and-shoot handling. With only around 6,500 units produced for the Japanese domestic market, genuine Evolution IVs are increasingly rare finds. The raw, unfiltered driving experience, complete with recirculating turbo sounds and razor-sharp steering, represents everything enthusiasts love about the Evo lineage before it was diluted for global markets. Clean examples command serious money today, especially as collectors recognize the IV as the sweet spot between the raw early cars and the more refined later models.
