Sales of Mitsubishi Evolution-9 began in 2005 in Japan, after only a few months the car was shown at the Geneva Motor Show. The updated sports car received a new forced engine, a more perfect look and an updated interior.
Needless to say, the Mitsubishi Evolution-9 looks really stylish, while at the same time, its appearance has not undergone drastic changes compared to the G8. The car still looks aggressive and dynamic, and each of its lines seems to emphasize that this car is a sports one. The main feature in the appearance of the ninth model is the original shape of the front bumper, according to the designers of the machine, it allows better cooling of the engine and reduces the lifting force of the oncoming air flow. A diffuser has formed in the lower edge of the rear bumper , which together with the spoiler makes better downforce. Elegant 17-inch wheels and low-profile tires complement the picture .
The interior of the Mitsubishi Evolution of the ninth generation evokes conflicting emotions. On the one hand, high quality finishes and stylish aluminum lining, on the other - a boring and slightly outdated center console and uncomfortable seats without lateral support. "How will dense passengers feel when traveling long distances?" - a rhetorical question.
The ergonomics of the cabin are generally good, all the necessary functions and controls are at arm's length. Without any complaints, climate control works, the head unit is of average quality. The dashboard is decorated in an original style, the red backlight, despite the initial skepticism, is pleasing to the eye. Instrument readings are perfectly readable in any light.
The Mitsubishi Evolution is a five-seater, but three people in the back seat are likely to run out of space. The rest of the car is quite practical. The trunk is not the largest in the class, but thanks to the convenient “entrance” and form, you can load quite a few things into it.
As already mentioned, the car is often used as a car for various sports, so tuning "Mitsubishi Evolution" is a very common phenomenon. Under the hood, the legendary Japanese sports car is familiar from the previous version with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine model (280 hp). Due to its unpretentiousness and reliability, the unit won the trust of customers, apparently, the designers decided not to change what is going well. The dynamics of the car are beyond competition - it literally breaks down, forcing to cuddle up to the chair. The maximum speed of the ninth version is 250 km / h, acceleration to hundreds takes about 6 seconds. Depending on the modification, the car can be equipped with 5- or 6-speed manual.
As for the cost of Mitsubishi Evolution-9, the price of a car in good condition can reach 25 thousand dollars. In principle, this is a lot, and for the money you can buy a good new car of class B or C. However, the pleasure of managing this predator is worth it.
