Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5 (CP9A)
The first CP9A chassis type Lancer Evolution, the EVO 5 was built with Group A rally class rules in mind. Fender flares were added to allow greater track and wider 17 inch wheels, and suspension was completely reworked. An adjustable aluminium rear wing was now included, and Brembo brakes, Recaro seats and a Momo airbag steering wheel were included with most models.
EVO 5 power was now at 208kW (280hp) and weight was kept low true to the EVO racing heritage, making for a very quick car indeed.
