Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5

A rally car for the street was how to describe Mitsubishi's Evo 5. It was in fact a very easy car to drive very quickly cross-country, no matter what the weather. This is did with a permanent four-wheel drive biased slightly towards the rear wheels, and an Active Yaw Control to prevent sideways slippage. Excess speed was easily dealt with thanks to 12-inch (305mm) vented discs and powerful four-pot Brembo callipers at each corner. The 16-valve 122ci (2-liter) four-cylinder engine was a development of previous Evo models and featured contra-rotating balance shafts to keep the engine smooth up to the 6,500rpm redline. The turbo's massive intercooler mounted in the front grille ensured a dense supply of air, which aided the enormous power output and hit of torque. The car was good enough to give make Tommy Makinen World Rally Championship Champion three times.
