Click here to download printer friendly version February 1995 saw the introduction of the third Lancer EVO. Compared to its predecessors the EVO III was fitted with a higher compression engine, adding another 10 bhp to the output. Aerodynamics were again revised with a more aggressive front bumper and a new rear wing.

In rallying the EVO III was used throughout the 1995 and 1996 seasons, with a lot of success. With 6 victories Mitsubishi finished second in the constructor's championship in both season. More importantly, Tommi Makinen scored his first of four driver's titles for Mitsubishi.

In 1997 the first series of EVOs was replaced by the EVO IV, which featured a completely different body.

 Superb machine!

 The first Evos are underrated compared to the newer models, but the III can beat the heavier Evo IV and can compete with the latest models. The old III is a cracking car. Proton uses the bodyshells of the first Evos for their Wiras (formerly Personas) now, which are aimed at mostly sensible people who are unlikely to know that their car uses the same bodyshell as a swift Evo. Despite the fact that Proton uses the bodyshell, the Evo III is one of the best performance saloon cars ever built.
