Over the years Lancer's popularity grew as additional, more powerful trims and models - such as the Lancer GT, Lancer Ralliart, Lancer Sportback LS and Lancer Sportback Ralliart - were added to the line, bridging the gap between the Lancer's base model and its high-performance sibling: Lancer Evolution. Slowly, however, market demand started shifting towards vehicles offering greater versatility and space, and cars with smaller environmental footprints.
In , Mitsubishi decided to stop production of the Lancer and shift its focus over to crossovers and SUVs, as well as electric and hybrid powertrains.
Today, Lancer's performance legacy continues to endure with Mitsubishi's versatile crossovers and efficient city cars. The first Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was launched in - rally-bred from its inception. To make it ultra-competitive, Mitsubishi took the lightweight Lancer, reduced its weight even further, increased body and suspension rigidity, and powered it with a 4Gtype intercooler turbo engine delivering torque through a 4WD system.
The initial production run for racing certification sold out within days. It wasn't until , however - after honing its performance history over several generations in Europe and Asia - that the Lancer Evolution became available in the United States, promising a thrill ride like no other.
By that time, due to the popularity of certain video games and appearances in several Hollywood movies, the Lancer Evolution already had quite the following. Each successive iteration of the car received new creative thinking: more power, more weight savings, brakes a little deeper, apex clipped a little tighter, built to come out of corners a little harder.
But all races must come to a stop. And in , Mitsubishi announced the Lancer Evolution X - the tenth generation - would be its final one. To give it a special send-off, Mitsubishi decided to create a limited farewell edition: the Lancer Evolution FE.
Individually numbered-and collectively desired - the Final Edition was backed by a hp engine. It was the kind of performance that ate bigger, thirstier V6s for breakfast. The end of an era? Not exactly. Mitsubishi is continuously working to incorporate its performance heritage into its crossover and electric vehicle segments.
