It is one of the most legendary rally cars of all time and found a lot of fans not only in motorsport, but also in the JDM tuning scene. We therefore particularly regret that it is most likely no new edition the icon will give. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will certainly become a sought-after and sought-after classic of the modern era, and the prices for non-tinkered copies are already rising rapidly. In this post we would like to give you a heavily modified copy of one Launch Evo IX imagine that from the British tuner Simon Cottingham was created, and probably turned many heads not only at tuning meetings.

Completely tuned Evo in carbon look.

With this vehicle, at first glance you don't even know where to look first, because that Carbon outfit, which is partly from Seibon Carbon and partly by Rexpeed originates, attracts everyone's attention, just like the massive one rear wing from Voltex in the fast-and-furious style. A Voltex widebody kit made of carbon finally crowns the whole project, and combines it with the Carbon fiber roof from Varis, an Evo IX suddenly becomes a rolling stealth bomber.

Even the filler cap comes from Rexpeed and is made entirely of carbon, as are those from the same manufacturer Mirrors with the model name Ganador. A rear diffuser from Xtreme Carbon is also on board, because you don't want to do things by halves when tuning your baby. The entire carbon range is rounded off by three-part, 18-inch models Work M1-3P rims, on the Nankang Sportnex AR-1 tires are raised. These are joined by purple ones nutswhich are also from Work. To round off the design, there are more to come USDM taillights for use. An on the front axle ensures optimal deceleration Bremsanlage from AP Racing with discs with a diameter of 355 mm.

There is a standard one on the rear axle Brembo brakes with modified discs and brake pads used. Finally, of course, a new one is also allowed Suspension not missing, so that the Lancer Evo IX with a Öhlins coilovers called Road and track equipped, which looks good not only on the road, but also on the racetrack.

Interior with a racing flair.

After entering, you take a seat in Bride GIAS-2 carbon bucket seats, and you will with Schroth harness straps lashed down. A Momo steering wheel is also located in the cockpit, just like various Additional Devices from Defiwhich show oil temperature, boost pressure and oil pressure. A Cusco roll cage as well as a weight-saving one glazing from Rexpeed, Door panels made of carbon as well as a Carbon fiber gear knob from Varis are also built in. There is also another one for optimal entertainment Sound system with a 9-inch touchscreen monitor from Alpine and one X-Fire subwoofer and X-Fire tweeter.

2 liter gasoline engine with double charging!

The original turbocharger was replaced by a copy of Norris designs replaces that on the model name 8R hears. Also found a compressors, which is also from Norris comes under the hood of this Evos. As a result, the engine achieves enormous 790 BHP, and thanks to the weight reduction thanks to the use of carbon, the Mitsubishi achieves a power to weight ratio of unbelievable 1,44 kg / hp. Equipped in this way, it should be an absolute weapon both on the racetrack and on the dragstrip, and show its opponents row by row the taillights. Incidentally, the power transmission takes place via a sequential gearbox, the above Carbon shift paddles is operated, and the power is distributed to all four wheels.

Our Conclusion about this extraordinary Mitsubishi Evo IX:

Tuner Simon Cottingham didn’t spill anything when he realized the project. From our point of view, such a car could also play in a Hollywood flick and should cause enthusiasm in the tuning scene.
