The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV and V, produced between 1996 and 1999, represent a pivotal moment in the evolution of the iconic Lancer Evolution line. They built upon the success of their predecessors, the Evolution I, II, and III, by introducing significant performance upgrades and refinements. The Evolution IV, released in 1996, featured a redesigned engine with increased power output, a new 5-speed manual transmission, and a revised suspension system, all contributing to a more agile and responsive driving experience. Its aggressive styling, characterized by a larger front bumper, prominent rear spoiler, and wider fenders, signaled its intent as a formidable rally and road-going machine. The Evolution V, introduced in 1998, further refined the formula, adding a new engine management system, a limited-slip differential, and a more aerodynamic body with a lower drag coefficient. These improvements resulted in a significant increase in performance and efficiency. The Evolution V was also the first Lancer Evolution to feature an optional "RS" trim level, designed for rally racing, which replaced the passenger seats with a roll cage and featured a lighter weight overall. The combination of these upgrades cemented the Mitsubishi Evolution IV and V's reputation as powerful and capable vehicles, further establishing the Lancer Evolution's dominance in the world of performance cars and rally racing. Their legacy continues to influence the development of modern performance cars, and their iconic status among enthusiasts only strengthens with time.
