The awesome Mitsubishi Evo is perhaps the ultimate example of a thoroughbred rally car for the road. The no-nonsense, purposeful Evo is derived directly from the all-conquering rally machine that took Tommi Makinen to four consecutive World Rally Championship Drivers' titles in the late 1990s. Never keen to rest on their laurels, Mitsubishi have followed a programme of continual development, which sees the arrival of the Evo VIII in 2003. This all-colour book covers buying, owning, running and caring for the cars, and charts the full road car and competition history. This title covers: how the Mitsubishi Evo came about, the Japanese development story, evolution and model changes; limited editions and specials, both from the factory, such as the Makinen Evos, and from the tuners, like Warrender's 340R; the world rally story; buying an Evo (including grey imports), inspection advice, ownership, costs, modifications and competition; maintenance and servicing tips, and how to spot and cure common problems; press comment, specifications and performance figures for all models and details of specialists and clubs.
