The PistonHeads Show is
proud to announce that Mitsubishi will display all 10 versions of its legendary
Lancer Evolution at the inaugural show at the Birmingham NEC.
Fans will be able to see
for themselves how the mighty supercar slayer has evolved during its 15-year
history right up until 2007’s EVO X.
Originally designed for the
Japanese marketplace, the 4x4 2.0 turbo-charged EVO has become as
popular among road users as it has rally drivers.
Nolan O’Connor, PistonHeads
Show Group Marketing Manager, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to confirm that
Mitsubishi will be bringing the full range of EVOs to the inaugural PistonHeads
Show.
“It is going to be a real
treat for visitors who will be able to see how this beast of a machine has
developed over the past decade and a half.
“The EVO has a fearsome
reputation. Other high-performance cars which dare to take it on usually end up
running home crying to their
mummies.”
