As an Evo X owner It’s sad and I’m heart broken. STI, you must defend the rising sun flag for WRC. Do not let the RS and European win the WRC. We Japanese cannot lose...
It is good to talk about the Mitsubishi Galant VR4 while you're talking about the Lancer Evos. You know VR4 is the predecessor of Lancer Evos and has a very good history in rally!
Similar situation. I'm an original owner of a IX. 55K miles, 5 sets of tires, 4 sets of pads, has never been a daily driver. Its next owner will be my son.
Dr.Butts just teach him the way my dad did. Put him to play a lot of driving games, (specially games that glorify cars such as need for speed hot pursuit, Porsche unleashed and gran turismo) take him to watch some races with you and than put him behind the driving wheel of yours. This made me love cars till this day (initial d might help too. Cars in this show are basically characters)
Nice Movie. Problem is that they dont make the EVO's anymore. Subaru is now in the lead and still making the Impreza STI. I wish Mitsubushi still continues making the EVO lineup models.
Thanks! Yes, it's unfortunate that it's been discontinued, but let's not forget that we can still get them in the used market. As far as AWD competition goes, like you mentioned, we still have the STI, but there is also the Golf R and Focus RS.
GT Content I dislike the new STi's look, the Golf R doesn't have any race history, and the Focus RS is literally like 3,800 lbs or something crazy. The Evo for me was the perfect balance of looks, weight, race history, and tech. It's upsetting that they're getting rid of all that to make lame SUV's that nobody wants.
GT Content I hope they at least keep the Subaru alive. The 22B and most of the mid 2000's WRX's are sweet cars. Hopefully the future will contain more cars like the Lancer, Golf R, and WRX
TheProski87 Yes, the Subaru will be kept alive. The Lancer Evolution didn't evolve itself enough to compete in this class. There may be more cars in the future like them.
Wish the Evo V was introduced in the US. Fell in love with it when featured in the movie "Legend of Speed." Those of us hungry for that version had to purchase kits and parts to replicate its exterior aesthetic and speed of the original model. IMO, that was the best iteration of the evo legacy. Nonetheless, each version had its own uniqueness.
Mitsubishi have achieved goals in racing that only few big companies have achieved, the evo was multiple times world rally champion, and the mitsubishi pajero multiple times dakar champion..im a proud owner of a 2001 mitsubishi pajero/montero, i get to places land cruisers and subarus only dream of.
@@mitsuevo8mr ktm have won it 18 times. Not really interested in the Dakar rally, i liked the Porsche that won it and the 405 t16, not really bothered about the rest.
@@theant9821 it's not only the number of titles that you should consider but rather the way they have won those titles (4 drivers championship,1 manufacturer's championship), Mitsubishi decided to stick with their own chassis despite the fact that everyone has shifted to wrc specific chassis and yet they had been successful. that just speaks for the level of engineering that they had put on the evo, its proven to compete and win titles on one of the highest form of motorsport activity and on my own opinion winning a manufacturer's title is more of a team effort being put together by both drivers unfortunately tommi makinen was the only one who was carrying the loads for Mitsubishi at the time compared to let say the team of Colin McRae and Richard burns.
@@osama1929 i know, but that was whichever brain donor decided to do away with Group A. The way? The integrale was fairly audacious in its own achievements. The integrale was getting long in the tooth by 1990 let alone its final championship in 1992, and it was almost won by a privately entered team without any manufacturer support in 1993 (the highest a car has ever finished in the constructors championship without manufacturer backing in the championship of any kind). That is not bad for a car that went into production in 1979 with an engine design that first went into production in 1966. Not bad, not half bad at all.
Brayden Barnett Totally! No wrc championships, no world time attack championships. (Evo 9 has won the last 4), no 1/4 mile records, limited modability compared to 4g63 and the car was fat as fuk! Best evar!!!!
Guys, I am a GC8 STI owner, always dreamed about Evo tho. New cars are crap. Made out of jelly and some hideous plastic. It sucks dick. The cars are hevier, slower and got so many driving aids that my 60 y.o. mother can be as rast as some "racing" drivers in one of these. The game is over for us enthusiast. Stick to your old cars and keep them going, in few years all of them will be worth a fortune. Peace among rally world!
Its heartbreaking to me because this has always been my favorite car. I honestly feel like Mitsubishi had so much potential but didnt give it there all. Its sad
right from the beginning .. straight to the point !! please don't ever change that ... the ones who did, are boring now !! thanks for sharing and keep it coming
I’ve owned and Evo III and an Evo X of course I cannot keep it stock and I have to add more power and I loved them both until I finally got my R35 DBA. These are really an amazing machines! Thank you love the history lesson
It was really heartbreaking for me since the Evo is my favorite car. Why would Mitsubishi discontinue the evo when it's their most iconic car? Anyways great video! The Lancer Evolution will never be forgotten.
hahaha in reality those cop cars would never be anywhere near it but ok hey you got to make a movie hehe. It's a 0-100 in 4.4 seconds and flat out through the turns kind of car
Perfect Evo: CE9A body with chassis stiffening, weight reduction to compensate, install active yaw control and active diff, upgrade internals of old 4G63
Hani Sallim I think my favorite is the IV. It was the first one I ever saw via the Jackie Chan movie that Gary referenced. P.S there's a Lancer Evolution (I) for sale over in Tampa ATM, so much want...😟
Great video! I remember when we 1st got the Evo VIII here in US in 2003. It was very exciting time. I'm still waiting for that Miata history video, though. Lol
I know right. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. lol My backlog so far is Skyline, STI, Civic, S2000, RX7, Corolla, Z, Miata, Eclipse/Talon, Integra....I think there was more, but that's what I can think of at the top of my head.
Dang. My bad. I didn't know you had so many cars in your backlog you had to review. All of those cars I favor, except for the Corolla. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and I love all the Japanese sports cars from that era! I look forward to seeing your videos on those cars. Btw, how long does it usually take you to make a video?
No worries. I actually enjoy doing the research and getting these videos out. But like you mentioned, it's just time. These videos can take 20-40hrs to complete (research, pictures, video, music/sounds, fact checking) and that's not even including time I spend at my day job. I just hope people appreciate them.
Brilliant Videos, you deserve so much more attention! Just subscribed. But your videos are always so quite. Maybe fix the audio next time! Keep it up man! :)
I'm aware of them, but being that they were only available in the UK and weren't as popularized as the Tommi Makinen, I decided not to (We're mostly arguing over horsepower increases) . It'd be quite the challenge to list each various special trim for any of these car history videos since I plan to cover a lot of them.
I am still a proud owner of cz4a Evo X. It is sad that Mitsu will not making any evos. However, maybe that is the right way to say a goodbye to a legend..
My fav EVO's got to be the 5 and 6, they are the final stage and purest form of the original EVO's, after them I consider them a different animal: much heavier, bigger and more on the looks than on the rallying.
I remember following the 2001 championship when mid season they introduced the Evo 7 and i was NOOOOOOOOOOO even before competing, and once I saw it, was obvious then it was a step back and I don't know how the designers and engineers did not notice it. While all the other cars were becoming shorter and more compact the EVO was growing larger. If the EVO 6 stayed for the remainder of the season it would compete for the title, of that i am sure. They could then take a year off and properly develop their WRC spec car. The Cedia was the first nail in the coffin for the EVO series
It's unfortunate Mitsubishi ended the Evo and pretty much the entire brand. When you see a Mitsubishi car lot, you wonder what is there to look at? Since the evo is gone? Really sad when the final edition was done half ass and completely just put the badge "Final Edition" for the hell of it. If Mitsubishi wanted to improve its sales of the Evo, they only needed to make small changes to it. A nicer interior perhaps, new electronics and a great improvement would have been changing the gear box to a six speed. But of course, they would just rather end it entirely. Damn.
I can only hope by some miracle in a few years Mitsubishi makes a surprising resurrection from the dead and the Evo is revive and upgraded to a much better and badder version from new management and if it does come back, please please do not make it an automatic trans. Keep the stick shift alive.
I hate that they discontinued the evo. but I think mitsubishi did it at a perfect time. with them out running subaru and losing competition. after they released the evo x and it being the worst evo generation, it was in their best interest to discontinue the evo before they destroyed it glorious name. no matter the fact that subaru is still making the sti, evo's will always be more desirable due to their success and being overall a better car than the sti. i beleive the sti will die of soon also being that the sti is going down hill. heres to the evo being one of the best 4 cly awd sports sedans of all time.

I would have talked about the Lancer EX2000, the Starion, and the GVR4 more, but whatever. All have history behind the evo.
my favourite looking one was the VII
