But Mitsubishi kept updating the car, releasing the Evo II in 1993 and the Evo III in 1995. And it was with the Lancer Evo III that Mitsubishi found world-wide recognition. In 1996, Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen won the WRC Driver’s Championship with a rally-prepped Lancer Evo III. The first Evolution model was not only produced to meet homologation requirements, but also to improve Mitsubishi’s image. Sales of the Evo started in October 1992 and Kenjiro Shinozuka, Kenneth Eriksson, and Iwao Kimata (Mitsubishi’s former rally chief) were heavily involved in the development of the car. 2w0o.
