Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition (3)

Arguably the originator of the 4-door sports car genre, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is applauded worldwide for its combination of power, agility and Super All-Wheel Control. Its production has finally come to end in the US and Mitsubishi Motors North America is auctioning the very last Evo ever produced.

Mitsubishi will be auctioning the very last of the 1,600-unit production run of the Lancer Evolution Final Edition where the money will proceed to a charity foundation. It will be donated to Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.

Unlike the regular model, this Final Edition model features a pulse-pounding turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder 2.0L engine with 303hp and 413Nm of torque, making it the most powerful mass-produced Evolution ever built. The car is available with a 5-speed manual transmission and special suspension tuning with Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs. The limited edition model also uses 2-piece front brake rotors from Brembo.
