1998 Mitsubishi Evolution V | York, North Yorkshire

A 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V, the turbocharged, four-wheel-drive saloon at the heart of Mitsubishi's rally effort. Tommi Mäkinen won the 1998 World Rally Championship drivers' title in an Evo V. The road car shows its competition roots in flared arches, 17-inch wheels with Brembo brakes and an adjustable aluminium rear wing. This car is white with a grey interior, a clean scheme that lets the wide arches and the rear wing stand out in shot. Its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine drives all four wheels. The stance is low and purposeful, so it reads as a performance car even when parked. Film and television scenes with a rally theme have a natural subject here, thanks to the late-1990s Group A background. Photographers and music video crews get a wide, planted saloon with plenty of detail to frame, and at events it makes a strong arrival car. A wedding or personal hire suits it too. The car is based in York, North Yorkshire.
