"There’s no mistaking the Lancer Evo VIII MR (“Mitsubishi Racing” version) for anything other than a rally-bred sedan born to do four-wheel drifts around corners. And because the competition hasn’t been sitting idle since the first Lancer Evos hit the ground running, the rivalry that extends from street to rally stage has evolved (pun intended) the VII MR into a better car in every way. The huge rear wing, the vortex generators mounted to the aluminum roof (to lower the center of gravity), the suspension specially tuned to provide harder cornering without shaking your fillings out—they’re all specifically engineered to allow the MR to go harder and faster than the rally-inspired competition. Revisions to the turbocharged motor and all-wheel drive system have also improved launch and grip, turning out incredible numbers that are awfully close to high-end sportscars that don’t have four usable seats and a trunk. The Lancer Evo VIII MR’s ninja-like reflexes and nearly telepathic driver feedback add up to one of the finest entries in this exclusive club."—Official description[1]
The 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR - abbreviated as "Lancer MR '04" - is an all-wheel drive sport compact by Mitsubishi.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 2 and all subsequent main series titles, although it is only available in Forza Horizon as part of the Rally Expansion Pack and in Forza Horizon 4 as part of the Mitsubishi Motors Car Pack.
It also appears in Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious as part of the Bucket List event "Go faster and get dirtier than we did in a Lancer Evo.8 MR".
Synopsis[]
The Evolution VIII was the eigth generation of the Lancer Evolution series, replacing the Evolution VII as the second iteration on the Lancer Cedia (CT9) platform. Debuting in 2003, it was also the first Evolution model to be sold in the United States.
Similar to its predecessors, it is powered by a two liter 4G63T turbo engine that drives all four wheels. Apart from the RS and GSR standard models, it also added the MR series that was named after the Galant GTO MR. MR models came with performance improvements such as a six-speed manual transmission and additional equipment.[2]
The Evolution VIII was replaced by the Evolution IX in 2005.
