The primary idea behind the Lancer Evolution series was to create a car which could fully exploit the basic capabilities of a car (dribing, turning, and braking) while retaining the reliability and endorance required for rally racing. This third generation sees an enhanced engine performance, and new exterior aerodynamics components which provide it with a powerful design. The front surround is peppered with air intakes, and the brakes cooling performance has also been enhanced.
The 4G 93 turbo engine has raised power by boosting its compression ratio from 8.5 to 9.0, optimizing the shape of the turbo’s compressor wheel, and expanding the exterior of the exhaust pipe to reduce back pressure. This improvements succeed in squeezing out 266 hp and 227.8 lb ft. The Evolution III was offered in a choice of lightweight RS sports model and the deluxe GSR.
