Description
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6 Tommi Makinen Edition was built to commemorate the Finnish driver's four World Championship titles.
The Lancer Evo 6 TME is one of the most stunning machines produced in Japan.
For its time, the car was a technological masterpiece.
Throughout its years in the World Rally Championship, the Lancer competed against both Group A and WRC-spec cars. It's worth noting that Mitsubishi used the Evo 6 in Group A specification until the end of its career. Despite this, Tommi Makinen continued to win titles, building both his own and the Lancer's legacy.
Key changes for the TME included a more responsive turbocharger using a titanium impeller, which resulted in maximum torque being achieved at lower engine speeds, by 250 rpm to be precise. A quicker steering rack, a modified exhaust system, a new engine control unit, reinforced transfer case components, a redesigned front bumper for improved cooling, and 17-inch white Enkei rims, along with printed Recaro seats.
Despite Mitsubishi's official figures, the car's power output is 276 hp, but driving it feels like there's a slightly larger herd
