To date, there are 10 different versions of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. On this page we will cover the Mitsubishi Evo 1, 2, and 3, and the insurance we can provide for all three models.
Distinguishable features of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo range are the 2 litre turbocharged engines and 4 wheel drive. Originally intended for the Japanese market, demand was so high via Grey imports that Mitsubishi offered them through dealer networks in the UK and Europe.
The Japanese spec cars all officially had a maximum 280bhp (under a gentleman’s agreement) but it is well known that Evo output figures were higher – a factor we have built into our Lancer Evo insurance and Mitsubishi insurance products.
The earliest Evos are now becoming eligible for classic car insurance and we are keen to consider any risk we deem to be appropriate. As with all classic cars, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo must be securely kept at night, cover a very limited mileage, and essentially be a car you cherish. You should also ensure it is not your primary road vehicle.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 1 Insurance
The original Lancer Evo 1 was produced between 1992 and 1993 and is now a rarity. Using the Galant VR-4 chassis, the Evo 1 was a car designed for rally racing. The 240 bhp engine is the lowest of all the models but was still extremely potent in its day. Of all the Evo 1 models still in the UK, most are in the hands of enthusiasts who look after the cars extremely well. If you are the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Evo 1, we are happy to consider you for our cherished car insurance.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 2 Insurance
The second generation Lancer Evo 2 was made in 1994 and 1995. It was mainly an advance in the handling department, with a small power hike of 10 bhp. Again the Evo 2 is a rare car these days and much is the same as the Evo 1 above.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 Insurance
The last of the original chassis cars built in 1995 was the Lancer Evo 3. This version had changes made to the front bodywork to aid cooling for the radiator, intercooler and brakes. An increase in engine power to 270 bhp was achieved but was the last development of this car.
