The Mitsubishi Lancer launched in 1973 as a two- and four-door sedan. Featuring a rigid monocoque chassis and a focus on handling and efficiency, the Mitsubishi Lancer branched off to create the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in 1992. This version was lightened and paired a powerful turbocharged engine with a rally-proven four-wheel drive system. The Mitsubishi Lancer enjoyed nearly 30 years of success in Asia and Europe before finally arriving in North America in 2001 powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, making 120 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque.
The range grows
A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for the North American market followed in 2003, while 2004 saw the expansion of the Mitsubishi Lancer range. Variants included the Mitsubishi Lancer GT and Ralliart, while Sportback variants of both added a new hatchback body style. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi announced that market demand was shifting to larger, more versatile vehicles with the 303-horsepower Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X to be the final edition. Production ended in 2015, while the other versions stayed in production until 2017 before bowing out as one of the world's favourite nameplates.
