It is the 12th model in a series of Mitsubishi Motors&#8217; award-winning sedans and was originally introduced to satisfy FIA Group A rally specifications that called for a production model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Evolution<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The 2006 Lancer features a standard two-liter DOHC 16-valve I-4 intercooled turbocharged engine, which is enhanced this year with variable valve technology (VVT). This Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC) system utilizes a VVT sprocket to optimize valve timing relative to the engine condition. This technological advancement, combined with enhancements to the vehicle&#8217;s turbocharger, produces higher torque and better response for improved engine performance across the complete rpm range. New gear ratios on the models&#8217; standard five-speed manual transmission take full advantage of the increased power.<\/p>\n<p>True to its racing heritage, the Lancer Evolution IX also features a number of exterior enhancements to further improve the aerodynamics and cooling performance of the vehicle. A new front fascia houses an oversize mesh grille and front center bumper air inlets to improve engine-cooling efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Complementing the exterior enhancements, Mitsubishi Motors engineers also updated the Lancer Evolution IX interior. The driver is strapped in front of a new dark three-spoke, height-adjustable Momo steering wheel and carbon fiber-style instrument, center and shift panels. Standard Recaro bucket seats feature Alcantara upholstery.<\/p>\n<p>The Lancer Evolution IX is available in stock trim, as well as RS and an MR edition featuring a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission and Bilstein monotube shock absorbers. Owners can further customize their vehicles to meet individual tastes through a comprehensive range of factory- and dealer-installed options including new air dam extensions and rear-wing wicker bills.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Mitsubishi Motors North America, edited by Supercars.net<\/p>\n<p><a
