Why it matters

The Evolution II refined the first car's chassis and raised output to 260 PS; its rally version gave Mitsubishi second place on the 1994 Acropolis and a win in the Asia-Pacific Thailand Rally. Built for only about a year, it sold 6,284 units.

History

Mitsubishi launched the Lancer Evolution II in January 1994, again as a limited run above the 2,500-unit Group A/N homologation minimum. The 4G63 turbo engine gained 10 PS to 260 PS through intake and exhaust tuning. It was offered as the RS competition base (2,308,000 yen) and the better-equipped GSR (2,898,000 yen).

The Evolution III replaced it in January 1995 after about a year of production, by which time 6,284 had been sold.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The Evolution II shares the CE9A chassis code with the Evolution III; it is told apart by its 260 PS rating and its earlier body details, whereas the Evolution III has 270 PS and a larger rear wing. RS cars are the lightweight competition base (1,180 kg).
