The Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart GSR is a performance-oriented variant of the popular Lancer range, designed to bridge the gap between the standard models and the high-performance Lancer Evolution. Introduced as part of Mitsubishi’s rally-inspired offerings, the Ralliart GSR combines aggressive styling with a turbocharged two-litre MIVEC engine producing around 237hp, paired with Mitsubishi’s advanced Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission, and an advanced all-wheel drive system. With its roots in motorsport, the Lancer Ralliart GSR delivers a compelling blend of everyday usability and spirited driving dynamics, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking a more accessible alternative to the fully-fledged Evo without sacrificing too much in performance or excitement.
To the untrained eye, this Lancer Ralliart may appear at first to be an unassuming hatchback, but the gaping vents in the bonnet really give the game away – the GSR is a real Q-car. It has had five owners from new, all of whom appear to have been enthusiasts as they have evidently taken very good care of it. The present registered keeper has enjoyed it for almost four years, from July 2021. The mileage of 82, 000 is, of course, nothing at all for a modern engine, especially when they have been looked after like this one has. The vendor reports that it “runs and drives well” and considers it to be ‘excellent’ concerning all aspects of the bodywork, mechanicals and interior. For a 16-year-old car, it comes with an impressive amount of history, in addition to the current V5C. The Ralliart GSR is not a car which screams for attention in traffic or car parks, but enthusiasts for ‘hot hatches’ and Japanese cars will appreciate that it is a rare and rather special machine. We understand that only 120 Ralliart GSRs ever came to Britain, of which just 71 were still known to the DVLA as of 2024.
