The engineering survivors of Mitsubishi's high-performance sport-compact heyday
In short: Explore the mechanical lineage of two rare Mitsubishi legends. This episode features a home-built Evo-swapped Eclipse and a high-output Lancer Evo IX Wagon, showcasing the dedication of enthusiasts preserving a defunct performance era.
As Mitsubishi moves away from its high-performance heritage, these vehicles serve as the primary link to the brand's sport-compact peak. The segment features a unique AWD conversion of a Mitsubishi Eclipse, which was home-built to incorporate Evo components.
The showcase also includes a rare Lancer Evo IX Wagon producing 917 horsepower. Tested by Top Gear Tuning Correspondent Rob Dahm, these machines highlight the 'keepers of the flame' who maintain the legacy of Mitsubishi's tuning history in the United States.
