Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1FE.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI needs no introduction, the Ralliart-built RS Sprint perhaps more so as only 12 were ever made
This example then is even more rare given it is the only one ever produced fitted with a full VeilSide 'Wide Arch' bodykit
As standard, the RS Sprint was powered by a 320bhp turbocharged 2-litre, inline-four coupled to a 5-speed gearbox with shorter ratios, a limited-slip differential and a quicker steering rack. The A/ C, AYC (Active Yaw Control), electric windows, electric door mirrors, central locking and rear wiper were omitted to save weight and to allow the RS Sprint to fully represent a rally car for the road
This example has been further tweaked by Extreme Motorsport and now features a competition clutch, larger intercooler and fuel pump, ARP 'Group A' connecting-rod bolts, an uprated actuator, HKS Blue Flame back exhaust, an Evo VIII rear differential and 19” PIAA split-rim alloys. We understand that the power output is in the region of 368bhp at the flywheel and 330bhp at the wheels
Purchased just over ten years ago by our vendor when he was in the market for something special that could be used occasionally for fun
With just over 36, 000km indicated and in stunning condition, this rare car is potentially a future JDM classic and merits any inspection
