How we verify Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution on record is the 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Vishnu Performance Systems Stage 3 Sedan, which runs 0–60 mph in 3.4 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.60 seconds at 120.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Sedan, which takes 5.9 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 14.42 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 42 verified runs, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution reaches 60 mph in 4.83 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 13.50 seconds at roughly 102.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 10 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution can do, not a single marketing claim.
