About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI
The Mitsubishi Lancer
Evolution V won the 1998 WRC Manufacturer's Title, and T. Makinen earned the
Driver's Title in the same year. The continuing refinement of the car for the
1999 Rally season led to the development of the Evolution VI.
The street car version of
the Evolution VI was announced in January, 1999 and utilizes the experience
derived from rallying. The first modifications centered on the aggressive
exterior. On the right side of the bumper, the oil cooler air intake was
enlarged and an air outlet on the right side was created to improve efficiency.
To improve the radiator airflow, the license plate was offset to the left. The
rear spoiler is a delta type twin wicker with an adjustable angle on the upper
wing, this increases downforce for extra stability. Reliable, abundant power is
provided by the 4G63 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with an intercooled
turbocharger. Power is transferred through a full-time 4WD transmission to the
wheels, the front features a helical limited slip differential, the center is
equipped with a viscous LSD, the rear has an Active Yaw Control differential.
The front wheels are suspended on Macpherson struts, the rear use multi-links.
Additional high
performance features were incorporated into the car, resulting in an exceptional
vehicle with superior handling. Mitsubishi generously endowed the Lancer
Evolution VI with their know-how and experience, creating a rally capable sports
car
