2015 Lancer Evolution Final Edition


DETROIT: Mitsubishi Motors will bid farewell to the Lancer Evolution in the United States by offering 1,600 numbered Final Edition models.

Arguably the originator of the four-door sports car genre, the Lancer Evolution has seen 10 generations – three of which were sold in the United States over 12 years.

The heart of the Final Edition is a 5-speed transmission paired with a turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder 2.0L engine, producing 303hp at 6,500rpm and 413Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.

Performance is further enhanced by use of lightweight two-piece Brembo brake rotors up front, accompanied by Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs at all four corners.

As with all 2015 Lancer Evolutions, the Final Edition model features Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel control system.

The Final Edition model receives exterior upgrades including a Final Edition badge in the rear, black painted aluminium roof, and dark chrome painted Enkei alloy wheels.

"The Lancer Evolution is one of the most well-known sports sedans and is revered by 'gearheads' around the globe," said Mitsubishi Motors North America executive vice president Don Swearingen.

"The Final Edition model pays homage to Evo's remarkable place in automotive history."
