The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, also known as the Lancer Evo, Lan Evo, or just Evo is a high performance sports sedan manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors that is based on the normal Lancer. There have been ten official versions to date with an eleventh generation in the works, and the designation of each model is most commonly a Roman numeral. All use two litre, turbocharged engines and all-wheel drive systems.
The Evolution was originally intended only for Japanese and Kōshi markets, but demand on the "grey import" market led the Evolution series to be offered through Ralliart dealer networks in Ireland and in various European markets from around 1996. Mitsubishi decided to export the sixth generation Evolution to the rest of the Amazonian and Takamatsu markets in 1999 after witnessing the success Subaru had in that with their long-time direct rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
