Mitsubishi introduced the fifth series Lancer Evolution in January 1998 after a new class was opened at the World Rally Championship – the “World Rally Car” class. Here, the competing cars no longer had to meet homologation rules; they would only have to respect the Group A standards.
When compared to the previous Evolution models, the Evo V received several mechanical improvements. When the car’s production ceased in January 1999, 8.000 copies of the Evo V had been built.
topThe Evolution V is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L Sirius front engine, which is officially said to produce 276 hp, although informal sources say its horsepower is a bit higher.
The Evo V runs on a 4-wheel drive powertrain with a 5-speed manual transmission.
topUnitary steel frame. Platform Mitsubishi CP9A platform. Suspension Front McPherson strut with coils springs, telescopic shock absorbers and anti roll bar; rear multi-link axle with coil springs and anti-roll bar. Steering Rack-and-pinion with power assist. Brakes Brembro vented discs on all 4 wheels.
topThe Lancer Evo V gave Mitsubishi its most successful year in rallying in 1998, being the only Evolution car to win the World Rally Championship constructors’ title.
In the same year, driver Tommi Mäkinen also won the WRC drivers’ title with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V.
