About the Lancer EVO IX

The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,482 kg with 286 bhp, which works out at 193 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.23 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,540th quickest to 60 mph, and the 12th quickest of the 25 Mitsubishis here. Its 102.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Leon Copa Edition (5.31 s), Subaru WRX STI (5.27 s), Infiniti G35 Mk IV (5.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
