As far as I know, the EVO VI TME RS was the fastest car available in terms of handling & acceleration on launch. There was very few cars that could match it. The specs were 206kw & 373nm weighing 1250kg. But these were understated. Think it was more like 250kw & 450nm. Motoring journalist's generally stated that it was faster than it's European competition on launch, but only when it was flat out. They said that the European options had better luxury equipment. I've seen a few stock examples cracking into the 11sec barrier down the 1/4 mile or close to it, incredible for a car in this price range back then.
i have number 67 of the jdm ones with shorter 5th and final drive ratios its insane 4th and 5th blow me away for the hp it is considered selling a few times but never will greatest evo by a mile ive ever driven or been in, drives just like my 99 sti ra its crazy how similar they are in acceleration / ratios
Superb video and gorgeous visuals.
Thank you!
Man those seats look mint. I always worry when driving my TME too as Mitsubishi only made 800 red JDM cars. I wonder how many are left in the world

Thanks for your comment, some really interesting information! 🙏🏽
This car is a conversion from a regular lancer. Amazing
they usually made around 10% RS Evos from each models production run! was around 3200 TMEs made so 300 sounds right

@connorprice1902 mega! Thank you for your comment 😁
TME RS didn't come with the red Tommi Recaros! they weren't an option from factory
