I’ve loved every Evo model since the very first ones, and I’m disappointed they aren’t being sold anymore – but, if you’d like to get a nice Evo, you can still do so on Cars & Bids. This one has relatively low miles – just over 40,000 – and it’s a high-performance MR model, which brought some sporty upgrades over the standard car. This Evo also has some nice modifications beyond that designed to improve the driving experience – and it should be a fun car for the next owner.

Highlights

THIS… is a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR, finished in Phantom Black with a black interior.

The attached Carfax history report shows that the car was registered in Florida until 2020.

According to the window sticker in the gallery, this Lancer had an original MSRP of $43,895, and it came equipped from the factory with BBS forged alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Brembo disc brakes, and Recaro front seats. This car also features the Premium, Navigation System, LED Illumination, and MR Interior packages.

Modifications made to this Lancer include the installation of a COBB SF short ram intake, COBB 3-port boost control solenoid, AMS downpipe, AMS high-flow catalytic converter, and Tomei Expreme Ti titanium cat-back exhaust system. The full list of modifications can be seen below.

Mitsubishi’s 10th and final Lancer Evolution arrived for the 2008 model year. It gained a new, more powerful engine, a revised suspension system, and a design inspired by sharks and fighter jets, according to the manufacturer. MR denoted an automatic transmission; stick-shifted variants were called GSR. Mitsubishi canceled the Lancer Evolution in 2016, and it all but confirmed the model will not return in the foreseeable future.

Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, which produces 291 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this Lancer, it likely produces more power, but no dyno sheet was provided to confirm. It spins the 4 wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission linked to steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
