All systems are in perfect working order and this is an exceptionally exciting car to drive.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (TME) is special because it celebrates its rally heritage with specific performance and aesthetic upgrades, making it the most coveted version of the revered Evo VI. Only 2,500 units were produced and its unique components make it a more focused and responsive machine than the standard Evo. As the final and most refined evolution of the classic, lightweight Evo chassis, the TME is regarded as one of the ultimate Japanese performance cars of the 1990s. With its rally pedigree, distinctive styling, and limited production run, the TME represents one of the most collectible Mitsubishi models ever produced — a cornerstone piece for any JDM or WRC-focused collection.

Unique Performance Features :
Faster-spooling turbo: The TME is equipped with a titanium turbine, allowing the turbocharger to spool up quicker. This reduces turbo lag and improves throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid range.
Tarmac-tuned suspension: The car features a specially tuned suspension with a lower ride height, particularly at the front. This modification, along with a front strut brace, improved handling and response on tarmac, mirroring the rally car's setup.
Quicker steering: The steering rack was revised for a quicker ratio, enhancing the car's agility and making it feel even more responsive to driver input.
Active Yaw Control (AYC): The TME retained the advanced Active Yaw Control system from the standard Evo VI, which used sensors to distribute torque between the rear wheels. This provided exceptional agility and traction, a crucial feature in outmaneuvering its Subaru rivals.
