2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR
VIN JA3AW56V38U050784
What’s special about this listing
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR was the tenth and final iteration of Mitsubishi's legendary rally-bred sedan, produced from 2008 to 2016. According to the seller, this 2008 example has been taken well beyond its already impressive factory configuration with a professionally built bottom end and a comprehensive suite of quality aftermarket upgrades. The engine was assembled by Whalen Speed with Diamond forged pistons, Manley Turbo Tuff I-beam connecting rods, and ARP main studs, with the seller noting this bottom end is rated for up to 750 horsepower. It was then dyno tuned by Slo Motion Motorsports in Sunbury, Ohio, where it produced 324 wheel horsepower — a substantial gain over the factory-rated output.
Described by the seller as a strong-running, well-built Evo, this MR benefits from a Garrett .73 A/R bolt-on turbo, a full turbo-back exhaust system featuring a Tomei downpipe and JM Fab tubular header, and an ETS high-flow catalytic converter. Cooling is addressed with a full Mishimoto package including a 3-core aluminum radiator, dual oil cooler, and aluminum fan shroud. The suspension has been upgraded with Greddy/KW coilovers and solid polyurethane motor mounts, while the interior features four Prosport gauges monitoring air/fuel ratio, oil pressure, boost, and transmission temperature. The seller describes the mechanical condition as excellent, with the car starting, running, and driving great.
The Evolution X MR is distinguished from lesser trims by its TC-SST dual-clutch automated transmission and more refined equipment, making it a unique proposition among raw-performance Evos. While the MR was the most civilized Evolution ever offered, this example has been modified with serious hardware that pushes it into genuine high-performance territory. Based on recent comparable market activity, Evolution X MR examples typically transact in a range reflecting condition, mileage, and modification level, with modified and original cars both finding strong enthusiast interest. You can explore the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X market for additional valuation context.
