The third iteration of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was introduced in 1995 and was known as the Evolution III. The Japanese market exclusive Evo III saw the addition of more aggressively styled bodywork, as well as a large rear spoiler. The Evolution III was offered exclusively as a four wheel drive sedan fitted with a 2.0L turbocharged inline four engine. While the 2.0L unit was the same as in previous evolutions, tuning and improvements saw an increase to 270bhp. Like previous versions, the Evolution III was available in focused and lightened RS (Rally Sport), or more well appointed GSR (Gran Sport Racing) trims. Production of the Evo III ended in 1996, and it was replaced by the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV.
