Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution 3

The third Lancer EVO was introduced in February 1995. Compared to its predecessors the EVO III was fitted with a higher compression engine, adding another 10 bhp to the output. Aerodynamics were again revised with a more aggressive front bumper and a new rear wing.

The Sporty Design From Mitsubishi In 1995

The exhaust systems was upgraded again for the EVO 3 as a new TD05-16G6-7 turbo was used, this along with a slight increase in engine compression led to a 10bhp power rise. Cosmetically the front of the car was opened up dramatically leading to a much more aggressive look. These changes gave much better cooling not only for the intercooler and engine but also for the brakes. To compliment the new look at the front new side skirts were adopted along with a new rear bumper and new, higher rear wing.

In rallying the EVO III was used throughout the 1995 and 1996 seasons, with a lot of success. With 6 victories Mitsubishi finished second in the constructor's championship in both season. More importantly, Tommi Makinen scored his first of four driver's titles for Mitsubishi.
