From its tentative introduction in late 1992, the Mitsubishi Evolution series has established itself as one of the most complete supercars, equally at home on the road or rally stage. Its winning combination of shattering performance, excellent handling, rock-solid reliability and comfortable accommodation for five people has made it hard to beat.
In the World Rally Championship, Lancer Evos carried Tommi Makinen to four consecutive Driver's Championship titles, as well as providing countless victories for other drivers at all levels of the sport.
This fascinating and informative book, written by self-confessed Evo fan Andy Butler, shows you the Mitsubishi's roots, charts its continuous development, and provides useful advice to help you find a good Lancer Evo for yourself.
There's also plenty of invaluable practical information on how to keep an Evo on top form, as well as engine tuning, performance upgrades, suspension tweaks and cosmetic modifications. Essential reading for all owners and enthusiasts of this Beast from the East.
