The Project Car: 2003 Mitsubishi EvolutionAmong Japanese sport compacts, the Mitsubishi Evolution 8 is one of the most aggressive contenders around. In fact, forget "sport compact." With 270 factory horsepower at its disposal (and even more in this turbocharged case), and full-time all wheel drive, this car lives to compete with so called "true sports cars" costing three to five (or ten) times more than its $30k price tag. With such a great performance value in factory form, the Evolution has understandably become highly popular Consequently, Evo owners are looking for ways to make theirs stand out from the pack.
For this 2003 Evo 8, rally red paint puts a low-key finish on the lightweight vented aluminum hood, and a large aftermarket intercooler looks menacing behind the lower grill.
This one sits tight on lowered sport springs, and stops on a dime thanks to big factory binders all of the way around.
Tinted windows provide a cool, concealed cockpit for the passengers, who enjoy factory designer sport seats, an upgraded stereo system with amp and sub box mounted in the trunk.
Under the hood, the turbocharged 4-cyllinder engine pumps out 300+ horsepower to all four wheels, and air flows freely through the cylinders thanks to a cold air intake.
