The Evo VIII brought the rally-bred Lancer Evolution to North America, powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4G63 inline-four with Active Center Differential all-wheel drive. The MR variant added a six-speed gearbox and Bilstein dampers. Its giant wing and ferocious turbo character defined a generation of tuner enthusiasts.
