- Few mainstream cars achieve legendary status. The EVO VI TME is one of them. On its 20th anniversary in the UK, PH doffs its cap with a 4am alarm call...

I have a 2018 WRX STI and whilst the kids these days are happy with their A class AMG's, my Subaru has something special. A boxer 4, a manual gearbox and a real handbrake and grip/traction like you would not believe. Those who know what Evo's and Imprezas are like, know.

Glory days of Mitsubishi is over Hopefully it rebounds soon
I don’t think so. Mitsubishi told media that they’ll focus on SUV’s and trucks.
Imagine an electric Evo with a motor for each wheel and instant torque vectoring...
@@SmallBlogV8 They actually had an Evo IX prototype that had pretty much what you just described.
Nothing seemed to come of it though.
sadly consumers wants suvs and trucks
Car Guy sadly that’s the truth
I’ve owned my evo 6.5 for 19 yrs and it still gives me the Michael j Fox end of the back to the future feels, you know the end of the movie when he see his 4x4
Nice story pal. I'll be pulling the trigger on one this year. Might be 20 years late, but better late than never 🙂
As a 6.5 TME owner, this is the most accurate description of the cars handling I've heard. Its supple and it just flows down a twisty road. Whenever I hear anyone describe the suspension as harsh I know that they have been in a non standard car. The car is supposed to be compliant with all four corners adjusting to the road. Throw in AYC and you have a legendary A to B machine.
Imagining this thing with AYC and 4WS makes me wanna plot a terror attack on the Renault-Nissan HQ.
Your right about the suspention. My Tommie mak has after market coil overs and they feel like shit on anything but! dead flat roads. Next chance i get im putting the originals back on with just adding new shocks into the originals , should be right after that. Although mine has crazy wide wheels , so that could affect it a bit. Still love the car though , my old STi MY00 four door Subaru spent more time at Subaru , than it did in my shed. The Evo's done one Cam angle sensor in 6 years , which is $130 (Australian) and takes 5 minutes to swap out , which is why most of us have an allen key in the centre console and a spare cam angle sensor in the glove box. Think ive had it for 6 years now , still fun , still love it.
Remember first time I drove one. Of all the expensive supercars ive owned and driven I said this is one car I could own and keep forever and never get bored.
How did it compare?
@@ColonelJohnmatrix1000 It just felt the most perfect car for a UK b road hoon. Just powerful and fast enough for the roads when driven at 7/10ths. Very sharp yet compliant and irons the road out no matter what. A nice manual shift. Direct steering. A car to enjoy like this vid suggest at the crack of dawn on a sunday. Supercars like mclarens, v10 plus R8s etc cant exploit or rarely are able to exploit all their firepower on the road. They are enjoyable sometimes. The EVO is enjoyable all of the time thats the difference.
As a Subaru fan and an owner, i have to say that this car is a legend and i love it :). Hope, Mitsubishi will make again legendry cars. Thanks for sharing this video :)
Best duo sti and evo
Evo > STi
@@HOTPLATEGAMING Doesn't matter for me:) Love japanese cars :)
@@HOTPLATEGAMING they aren't enemies, they are brothers.
The production quality and Dan's commentary is outstanding in these pistonheads videos. Very underrated compared to the overrated garbage you see on youtube. As a Japanese, I thank you for pronouncing 'Enkei' correctly at 7:23 , unlike many vloggers on youtube who do 'build' videos on their japanese cars.
A lot of English speakers always mispronounce Enkei as 'Enkey'.
To be honest people rarely pronounce foreign words and names (brands) correctly.
@@kokkraj_ Doesn't mean people should be given a 'free pass' for pronouncing things incorrectly because of pure ignorance and laziness. Thats like someone disrespecting you by intentionally pronouncing the vowel letters of your name all wrong for several years.
@@smilepermile888 No one outside Finland can pronounce Nokia the right way and it's not laziness nor disrespecting towards anyone, they just can't. And I've never met a foreigner who can pronouce my name correctly and I've never took it that they are disrespecting me eventhough they had years to try it out.
@@kokkraj_ When a brand is very well known amongst many people across the world, with so much history behind the brand, there is no excuse to mispronounce things. Its idiotic and disrespectful - if you've ever lived in Japan for a long time, you would've known that the culture has a huge emphasis on respecting eachother. Just because you don't take offence by someone mispronouncing a name from the same origin as you incorrectly, not everyone takes it the same way as you do.
I will genuinely never forget being a passenger in my mate’s Evo 6, 1 tuned to about 400bhp.
Twisty British lanes at night in summer and just mind blowing levels of grip, at the time I owned an Impreza STI and my mind was blown.
4WD driving perfection, a must own I think!
Just add something RWD, probably a hot Megane and a 911 and there you go.
The thrill of driving distilled right there. Cars have got faster, more powerful (and heavier) in the last 20 years, but few engage with the driver as well as the Tommi Mak. Great video Dan.
Good point Chris, a lot of people are hoping the new Yaris GR4 will be much of the same. I bet when this car was built if you said a Yaris would one day hope to carry the mantle, then people would think you needed taking to the looney bin !
@@zakelwe The Man behind of the new and old Yaris GR is Tommi Makkiken I think that's why they have similar things in common. Just proves this recipe is still up to date.
@@zakelwe It's crazy that GR Yaris is 20KG heavier than this.
@@champCats So is the GR Yaris 1385 kg? Come on check our figure again before posting. Yaris is 1280 kg. This Evo is 1365 kg like Dan said so the Yaris is 85 kg lighter and NOT 20 kg heavier like you stated,
@@marvinhagler6192 Sorry, my mistake. I checked again the press released by Mitsubishi, It is 1360KG.
One of my favorite cars of all time!! Looks so beautiful
Glory days will never be over for Mitsubishi, they are the best built Japanese cars ,I have been owning them since 1979, still have them
Favorite Evo ever. Suby 22B next please
Exquisite taste. Have a like!
TH-cam needs a thumbs up button, we can press to give videos 100 thumbs up. I love this guy! He drives properly quick, we are loosing reviewers like this.
Great job, please keep it going, thank you for your work.
Will never forget ducing it out with a TME in my P1 on the IOM... great days.
Easily the devastatingly quickest yet practical performance car and sedan to come out of Japan in the 1990s-2000s generation.
still a legendary masterpiece 💥

No doubt
A nice B road film, I'm a big Mitsubishi fan an Fto owner and an Evo fan Mitsubishi they let us the fans and the petrolheads down by not continuing the Evo in a different form to compete with the Impreza. Mitsubishi engineers for some of the best in the world and contributed to some great developments for the road and track it's such a shame that those developments have been put aside for suvs and dodgy relationships with French companies that should have been bought up by Toyota or Honda and to be made great again.
Love the rise and drive series! Well done on another great video.
Great vid, fantastic review, lovely scenery. Thank You for letting us enjoy all of this👊. Greetings from 🇫🇮, Tommi is a living legend as is the Evo6👌
Great series! It has got me planning some early drives. Always great reviews from Dan.
Wow, the visuals in this video are incredible. Great angles and beautiful color grading guys!
Great, technical, high quality clip with a glorious car!
Always said its not about stupid big bhp to have fun.I have had a 94 Celica Gt4 for ten years and is a joy to drive .
This video series is absolutely excellent.
I’ve had 2 of these over the years.
One brand new from Harrotts Mitsubishi in Barnsley back in 2001.
The next one came along 11 years after. Both UK Cars.
The best cars I’ve ever had.even upto today’s cars that I have. I’ve a S1 I drive daily and an RS6 PERFORMANCE for weekend family duties.
The Evo TME, I’d take that over both of the others............God I miss it.....
Awesome video as usual!
Great videos as ever Dan. Really love this series. Keep up the good work!
P.S. maybe a DN podcast episode on the Evo dynasty is in order? 🤞
Really on point video that sums up my love of my Evo 6. It doesn't just have one great area but an entire array of very well engineered qualities that make it so addictive to drive.
My old man had one of these and I still remember the feeling, after he’d used the water injection on the intercooler, how well these launched and how well the stopped too! Bargain basement interior but that didn’t matter. Maybe 200 miles to a tank and 4,500 mile service intervals eventually made an end to this. An STi replaced it but it wasn’t the same...
Very nice review, I always like Dan's presentation style., ever since Evo days
I own a rare black one. Have done for 14years. Has performance moved in such a way over 20years or was the evo so ahead of its time cars are now catching up. It is a remarkable piece of engineering and I am lucky to own one.
Well whats the answer to you own question???
Beautifully shot, and great to watch.
I
Great sales pitch Dan. Reminds me of my old Integrale but suspect this Evo didn’t suffer from chassis flex that undermined hard driving and led to dashboard rattles that slowly offset the intrinsic charm of the thing. The Lancia’s dashboard did look better than anything Japanese from the period though!
Great item superb camerawork thanks
Excellent video. Upload more often. We need more videos like this.
Awesome car! Glad I had a chance to sit in one many years ago. They need to make these cars again
I would take one of these over any hot hatch of today
It's quite interesting what you said about the suspension. For years I was under the impression that the TME's had really hard suspension from the EVO5, and supposedelly the EVO5 wasn't really all that successful because of the hard suspension (hence the short production of the EVO5).
Awesome vid Dan & rest.
Love my dandelion yellow Evo V. A little less $$ than a Tme.
great video, just as smitten with my Evo5RS. Even lighter and no AYC, a real hoot to drive
Try a early evo 1-3 even better,but i would say that since i had a evo2 then evo3 😭👍😂
Great vid as usual Dan...👍🏻 Just be a bit more cautious when there are sheep around though, Ok?
The evo 6 did have antilag as well, the hardware is there for homologation. Solenoid feeding compressed air into the exhaust manifold before the turbo.
Pause at 7:57 and you will see the line comes around the head and heads to the exhaust manifold
absolutely class Dan! Like you said both car and Tommi "Legendary" Best years of rallying from 1996 - 2000
Sorry buddy, 84 to 86 is the zenith. Nothing else comes close 🙂
This is the ultimate homologation special. I drove one for a whole afternoon once and the car was staggering.
Props for the ä in the Mäkinen 👌🏻
Great video. This appeals to me more than the F8!
Great vid. Now I shall take my evo for a spin!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice too see the Blaenavon and the foxhunters #godscountry
one of the best cars ever made
Great video Dan. These things are no less desirable today, to the people of that generation. Cant imagine there's any unmodified ones out there now, all with high mileages and looking tatty now. Just the running and maintenance costs mean you have to have a decent income to afford to run it. Frequent servicing and a thirst for fuel that would put Concorde to shame.
I love how fast car lovers in the UK are so laid back and it's not just about "where the car was made and which car has the biggest engine" (unlike the US or Australia!)
Sadly these types of Motorsport focused weapons are no longer produced. They were iconic when they were new as the are now. You simply cannot get the same feedback through modern equivalents as you do a Tommi Makinen edition. Electric steering, heavy chassis, artificial engine sounds make a very disconnected but fast experience with a modern hot hatch. However the fun factor is not the same as these group A machines.
Just goes to show perfectly... that less is always more. Forget the *nkers posting every day. Pistonheads are true petrolheads. Proper class.
Is that Comet NEOWISE at 0:56??
Brilliant! What a car... legend 🚗
Sammit needs to watch this
Mega machine 💪🔥
Nice video
The greatest EVO ever.
💯
That B4560 road is nearly as good as that Evo 😉
Thank you for that little bit of info ;-)
Mikeado66 no problem, it’s a road I travel on quite a bit, I regularly see Dan and co. having fun in amazing cars there.
In my top 5 cars 👌🏻👌🏻
All Birds are great driving shoes!
I miss my Evo...
One of my fav rally cars of all time
Great video, now where can I get one
Yes the new evo coming soon lancer R edition
Love that road out of Llanfoist, Aber!
I've had the evo2 then the evo3,proper driver's car,so easy to tune as well 👍
Best looking Evo ever.
Mint video
Welcome back
Legend lancer evolution.
Having owned both the GTI and Evo, I can definitely agree that I would love driving the GTI every day. But the Evo is so raw and awesome that I can put up with the crappy interior. No comparison when it comes to performance.
Very good 😍
Cool 👍🏻
would be cool for you too get hold of a 22b to test aswell
New Evolution type.
That is THE Mitsubishi lancer evolution legendary car
and now a45s is 400kg heavier
And to think thats now considered a hot hatch.
You better check the fact before opening your mouth or posting the comment. A45S without a driver has a curb weight of 1635 kg. This Evo is 1365 kg. Therefore the difference is 270 kg and NOT 400 kg like you stated.:
@@marvinhagler6192 grow up kid
Gather together the TME and one E46 CSL manual/ZCP manual on such roads in one video please.. don't think anyone has ever done that..not an out and out comparison but a celebration of two of the best road racers of the past.. even better if you can add a 997 GT3/RS to the mix.. maybe it's asking too much but there aren't many media houses I can think of, who may actually like the idea..@pistonheads
It can still Smoke a lot of Cars
Nice 'Climb Dance' @3:05
Thought that too.
Dan's a good hand, but he's a level below Ari 👍😂
Is that the A458, New Town?
Can you please share where buy this tommi makinen edition style body kit
I have a 2017 lancer great car so far very analog
What road was this test carried out on?
Unfortunately mitsubishi turned into sushi after evo 9 (some say evo 6).
Nar after the evo3 it started to go down hill,the early evo's had proper 4wd 👍 but i would say this since I've had a evo2 then evo3 😭👍😂
Is this the Blorenge?
Keren
There's actually a more rarer higher spec EVO6 TME not a lot of people reallu know, it is the EVO6 TME V4, and its higher horsepower and different engine upgrades, with a 293HP, that was tuned by RALLIART. MItsubishi Japan told us that the RALLIART TEAM that built the V4 have disbanded and there's only a few or handful was built. Only 1 unit we know still exist in Japan.
Proof?
3mins 5 seconds paid homage to Ari Vatanens climb dance video of pikes peak shielding the sun with his hand
If all the buttons work it means it has quality.
@evo.6wiss 😊
Why’s there a red light on the bumper
Fog light
The UK rules mean you have to have a rear fog light.
There is a way to add two lights in the reflectors on the boot lid but Colt Cars did these on the cheap.
Ohhh, so the Imported/Japan Versions doesn’t has it?
@@sideways4life993 Correct, but it needs to be added to pass the SVA test (single vehicle approval).
Some were done more neatly than others, my old Evo IV had its fog light hanging under the rear bumper.
Personally I have much more curiosity in driving a Evo VI than a Ferrari
Nothing like 40/40 electronics...
Evo 3 evo 6 evo 10😎😎😎😎
What about 9
@@newraytv ofcourse all evo's are the best
Love it. But give me an Evo IX 9. They may have not won rallies with it but it was perfected. Perfected. Then Evo 10 Mondeo edition came along. Shame.
