Meet the Ralliart Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition, Mitsubishi's answer to Subaru's all-conquering turbocharged all-wheel drive Impreza WRX and its WRCar-mimicking sibling, the STi. As the long-winded name suggests, this is no ordinary Lancer. Like the STi, its turbo four produces the Japanese-maximum 206kW and it drives through a sophisticated all-wheel drive system. But the limited-edition Makinen Lancer sets new benchmarks for both performance and handling, and its rally-bred Active Yaw Control differential delivers an even more involving driving experience. Yes, Mitsubishi's virtual rally racer has been a long time coming and it isn't cheap, but - security issues aside - the Evo VI is surprisingly easy to live with and, for this money, nothing else comes close to it.
