The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX was conceived as a WRC (World Rally Championship) car, so the list of in-cabin technology is about as short as it gets. The lack of a trip computer or a navigation-system option is particularly noticeable. The performance driver will find the cockpit to his or her liking with Recaro seats and an excellent driving position. Under the hood, the 2-liter four-cylinder engine is fitted with an intercooled turbocharger and tuned by the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control (MIVEC) system, a new feature on the 2006. Power output is a whopping 286 horsepower with 289 pound-feet of torque, distributed to all four wheels with Mitsubishi's active center differential.
