JDM Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI GSR, 5-Speed Manual, RHD

Few cars carry as much rally legend as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and the Lancer Evo VI GSR sits near the top of the list. This genuine Japanese-market example has right-hand drive, the turbocharged 4G63, a 5-speed manual, and full-time all-wheel drive. In addition, it wears Brembo brakes, blue Recaro seats, and a long list of quality JDM performance parts. Best of all, it comes with a US title.

Why the Lancer Evo VI GSR Matters

Mitsubishi built the Evo VI to win in the World Rally Championship, and it delivered. In fact, Tommi Mäkinen drove the Evo VI to his fourth straight drivers’ title in 1999. As a result, this generation earned a special place among enthusiasts. Moreover, the GSR was the fully equipped road version, so it blends rally hardware with everyday comfort. Since Mitsubishi never sold the Evo VI in the United States, a legally imported GSR remains a rare find. For more background, see the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution overview.

The Legendary 4G63 Turbo and 5-Speed

At the heart of this car sits the famous 4G63T, a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with a reputation for strength. From the factory, it makes 280 PS (276 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 275 lb-ft of torque at just 3,000 rpm. Because the engine handles extra power so well, tuners around the world still love it today. Meanwhile, the 5-speed manual and full-time AWD put that power down in any weather. Consequently, the car feels just as fast on a wet back road as it does on dry pavement.

Performance Parts Under the Hood

The previous owner focused on cooling, control and chassis stiffness, which are exactly the right areas for a turbo Evo. First, a Blitz racing radiator improves cooling, so the engine stays at a safer temperature during hard driving and hot summer days. Next, an aftermarket lightweight hood cuts weight from the front of the car and gives it a more aggressive look. In addition, a Cusco carbon fiber strut bar ties the front towers together, so the front end feels sharper and more precise in corners. Also, a boost controller and a turbo timer help you manage and protect the turbo. Finally, Defi oil pressure and water temperature gauges let you monitor the engine at a glance.

Suspension, Brakes and Wheels

Strong brakes matter on a car this quick, so the Brembo calipers give you confident, repeatable stopping power. Likewise, Blitz coilovers tighten the handling and let you fine-tune the ride height. On top of that, Enkei Racing 17-inch wheels cut unsprung weight and fill the arches nicely. Together with the Cusco strut bar, these parts make the chassis feel planted and eager.

Rally Looks and a Driver-Focused Cabin

Outside, the genuine large 2-piece rear spoiler gives the Evo VI its unmistakable rally-car profile. Furthermore, a rear bumper lip and side skirts sharpen the stance even more. Inside, the genuine blue Recaro seats hold you firmly through fast corners, and they look fantastic too. Meanwhile, a blue gauge cluster, a MOMO steering wheel and a RAZO shift knob add a custom motorsport feel. At the same time, the car keeps its everyday comforts, including climate control, an airbag, power steering and power windows. Plus, it seats five, so it still works as a practical sedan.

Mileage and Condition

This Evo VI GSR shows 186,803 miles, so its owners clearly drove and enjoyed it. However, the 4G63 has a well-earned reputation for durability. Even better, upgrades like the Blitz racing radiator help protect the engine for the miles ahead. Because we sell every vehicle AS-IS, we strongly encourage you to inspect it in person or arrange a third-party inspection. Also, please review the photos carefully, and feel free to call us for more pictures or a walk-around video.

Title, Registration and Terms of Sale

Because this vehicle is more than 25 years old, federal rules allow its import, and it comes with a US title. Before you buy, however, please review these terms. First, we sell this vehicle AS-IS, with no warranty expressed or implied, so we encourage you to inspect it in person or arrange a third-party inspection. Second, a VA DLR $299 processing fee applies to every vehicle sale. Also, the vehicle must pass a state inspection before you can get plates for it. Finally, California buyers must bring the vehicle into CARB compliance before registering it in California, so please contact your local DMV office to learn the requirements first. In general, rules for imported and right-hand-drive vehicles vary by state; therefore, we recommend checking with your local DMV before purchase.
