Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV

The Evo IV debuted for the 1996 model year, back when it was still Mitsubishi’s then-Japan-only sports sedan and rally car. It was the first Evo to get Mitsubishi’s Active Yaw control, which improved its handling in corners and under braking. Listed at 276 hp by gentleman’s agreement between Japanese manufacturers, its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot may have put out a bit more than that in reality.
