Today, we delve into the world of the 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 4, a forbidden fruit from the '90s that has finally made its way to the States. This sports sedan, boasting the iconic 4G63 turbo four-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and all-wheel drive, is a rare gem that enthusiasts have longed for. Doug DeMuro takes us through the quirks and features of this unmodified Evo 4, currently up for auction on Cars and Bids. The Evo 4 pays tribute to the successful Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Rally car, standing out with its aggressive styling and distinctive body kit.

Under the hood, the Evo 4 packs a 276 horsepower turbocharged engine, a standard feature in Japanese performance cars of that era. The exterior of the Evo 4 is a sight to behold, with its massive wing, OZ Racing wheels, and unique fog lights integrated into the bumper. Inside, the right-hand drive layout adds to the allure, along with Recaro seats, a sprayer button for the intercooler, and automatic climate control. Despite its basic interior, the Evo 4 offers a glimpse into the high-performance world of '90s Japanese sports cars.

The backseat surprisingly offers more room than expected, a rarity in Japanese cars of that time. The iconic '90s cloth pattern adorns the seats and door panels, adding a touch of nostalgia to the interior. While lacking in luxury amenities, the Evo 4 focuses on delivering a raw driving experience with its powertrain and drivetrain setup. This review showcases the Evo 4's unique blend of performance, history, and distinctive styling that sets it apart in the world of sports sedans.
