The Machine

Lancer Evo III

The 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III is one of the most iconic rally cars to come out of Japan's golden age of AWD performance. Built to homologate for Group A rally racing, the EVO III represented Mitsubishi's most aggressive evolution of the platform at the time.

This particular car is a right-hand-drive example — as it left the Mizushima factory in Okayama. Being built in Anchorage, Alaska adds a fitting touch: cold-weather performance is in this car's DNA.

The goal is a dual-purpose build — competitive enough to attend racing events and track days, visually striking enough to hold its own on the show floor.
