The 2006 version of Mitsubishi's street-legal racer, the Lancer Evolution, received a minor redesign, with a new grille, bumpers, and alloy wheels, as well as some restyled interior features, such as the rear seats. Power was bumped up by 10 to 286 horsepower, courtesy of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing.
The car was known by the overall designation Evolution IX, although it was actually available in four trim packages, including the RS, the IX, and the SE, as well as the MR. All versions came with a five-speed manual overdrive transmission (which was standard equipment across the Lancer line), as well as air conditioning, Recaro front sport seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and dual front airbags.
The IX and SE packages added power door locks, antilock brakes, and a CD player to the standard AM/FM stereo system, among other features.
In the United Kingdom, the Evolution IX uses a different trim scheme based on horsepower. There were initially three trims available: the FQ-300, FQ-320, and FQ-340, with around 300, 320, and 340 hp (254 kW) respectively. An FQ-360 model was subsequently released as a successor to the Evolution VIII FQ-400. While the new FQ-360 produces fewer horsepower than its predecessor, it has more torque at 363 foot-pounds (492 Nm) at 3,200 rpm - 8 ft-lbs (11 Nm) more than the FQ-400. An MR version of the FQ-360 was subsequently released, which included modified brakes and suspension. All four trims were designed to run on super unleaded petrol only.
4.9 Overall rating
(142 reviews)Excellent car. Great in snow. Blast to drive. Lots of power for a 4 cly. Always enough room to transport people in. Even if your 6ft tall. Not too bad at the gas pump. Just a 14 gallon tank. Did I mention it was a blast to drive.
2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Totally worth your money Performance and precision wise is unmatched by any other car in it's level except for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi from the same year of production. Appearance wise is smart, cool and it gives you a 'race king' feeling. Interior however, it isn't as good compared to the Subaru. Mitsubishi used cheap plastic and mediocre seats compared to the Subaru's high quality interior.
Turbocharged power, all wheel drive grip, four doors and comfortable seats. Doesn't get much better than this!
This evo IX FQ 360 MR by HKS was the best car ive ever owned. It is well known as the best evo ever made, 0-62mph in just 3.9 secs, 0-100mph in just 9.8 secs and a top speed of 177mph GPS verified 3x by myself. Very quick and very loud. Why did i sell it??? gutted.
Performance: Accelaration can you say 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds? (On stock tune and mods), 4 caliper Brembo brakes in the front and two caliper Brembos in the rear (Need I say more?) Handling: It has won Rally championships how many times, with AWD for superb traction. Need I say more? Build quality: No problems. Appearance: See the pics of it and judge for yourself. It ain't no turd that's for sure. Street legal (For the most part) racecar with my sons car seat. You can keep your SUV. Cost of ownership: Gas mileage is not that good. Oh well. Fun factor: This car is a blast to drive. Don't believe me go test drive one.
