The Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, PajEvo for short, was built from ‘97 through ‘99 as a means of sneaking into the Dakar Rally’s production-based T2 class. The Dakar Rally is the toughest car (and bike) race in the world, and building a car for it is a serious task. It should come as no surprise that the PajEvo is a serious car. The PajEvo got all new suspension, new differentials, a unique 276 horsepower, 257 lb-ft variable valve timing 3. 5 litre V6 engine, skidplates, Recaro seats, a widebody kit, and mudflaps. The idea was to sneak a super-strong car into the otherwise-tame stock class by selling 2500 beefy specials to the public. That homologates them for the stock class. It’s a way to sort of stretch the rules by following them to the letter of the law but not the spirit. Mitsubishi not only dominated the T2 class with this car, they dominated the whole Dakar Rally. Pajero Evolutions didn’t just win their class, they won overall! PajEvos took the top three spots in 1998, beating even the supposedly faster T3 class cars. All of this means that the Pajero Evolution remains to this day tougher than just about any other production car on the market.
