OVERVIEW

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII was the first “EVO” specially
built to suit regulations for the 2001 World Rally Championship
(WRC) season. Retaining the potent two litre DOHC turbocharged
four cylinder 4G63 motor, the new Evolution VII for the first
time featured an Active Centre Differential and the GT-A variant
was released with automatic transmission.
Mitsubishi’s Active Centre Differential, still found in the
Evolution X today, was used by rally champion Tommi Mäkinen
to steer the Mitsubishi Evolution VII to within three points
of the 2001 World Rally Championship drivers title.
In 2004 the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII added new technology to
control power to the four wheel drive system with Super Active
Yaw Control. Using the same CT9A platform, the Evolution VIII
was released with a different body kit than its predecessor
plus Enkei wheels, Brembo brakes and Bilstein shock absorbers.
The Evolution VIII was the first Evolution model to be sold
to the American domestic market.
Unveiled in 2005, the Mitsubishi Evolution IX was the final
performance variant of its kind to be fitted with the 4G63 motor.
With the Evolution IX, Mitsubishi introduced its innovative
variable valve timing technology, MIVEC as well as a revised
turbocharger design making it the most powerful Evolution built.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII – IX models have all gone
on to become highly desirable with enthusiasts worldwide. An
abundance of performance parts are available for personal customisation
combined with the Evolution’s rally bred performance all lead
to new levels of gripping performance.
Croydon Racing Developments have won multiple Australian Production
Car Championships and Endurance races with various Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution models. For the best custom ECU tuning, performance
