The Lancer name conjures up many different images. For some, it evokes memories of the first-generation cars, introduced in 1973, which fought with the best on the Safari Rally and came out the victors. Others will remember the second-generation models--especially the turbocharged versions, the original Mitsubishi wolf in sheep's clothing--and who could not be aware of the Evolution (Evo) series, launched in 1992? Forged in the fierce heat of WRC competition and honed by years of continuous development, the Lancer Evolution is not only one of the greatest rally cars of all time, it is also a desirable high-performance road car, too. Written in Japan with the full cooperation of Mitsubishi and key staff members, this is the definitive international story of all the world's Lancers, whether they carried Mitsubishi, Dodge, Colt, Plymouth, Valiant, Eagle, Proton, or Hyundai badges, with special emphasis on the Evolution models.

Great review of all Evo's up until now:
I own a 2005 Evo VIII and pre-ordered this book so I can learn about the previous models. A must have for the Evo owner and those looking to learn about the great tradition that follows these cars and the 4G63 engine. Great pricing from Amazon as well.
excellent informational book:
this is a great history of the lancer evo, but not a history of its modification or a how to guide. Its purely a historical book that has lots of EVO brochure information and is well written. A must for any Mitsubishi lancer or lancer EVO owner because it goes over the history of both.
