Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 0–60 Times

Built from 2000 to 2015, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution centered its performance identity on turbocharged four-cylinder power, all-wheel drive traction, and compact sedan packaging. Across 42 verified tests spanning those years, 0-60 times range from 3.4 to 5.89 seconds, with a 13.5-second average quarter-mile at 102.2 mph. Early data begins with the 2000 VI RS-2 Sedan at 4.3 seconds to 60 mph, then moves into the CT9A VII-IX era (2001-2007), where the 4G63/4G63T engine family produced 271-286 hp and established the model's quickest results.

That CT9A period contains the overall peak: the 2003 Vishnu Performance Systems Stage 3 Sedan at 3.4 seconds to 60 mph and 11.6 seconds at 120 mph in the quarter-mile. Production trims in the same era were generally slower but still consistently in the low-to-mid-4-second range, while the 2002 VII Sedan's 5.89-second run marks the slow end of the dataset. The final chapter is the CZ4A Evolution X (2008-2015), which shifted to the 4B11T turbo four with 291-303 hp. In this generation, tested trims included GSR, MR, MR Touring, SE, and Final Edition sedans, with the 2015 Final Edition Sedan at 4.4 seconds standing as the quickest current-generation result. Throughout its run, the Evolution remained exclusively gasoline-powered.
