2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE
August 8th, 2006
The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (Evo) Special Edition represents the final round of updates to the Evolution IX bodystyle. With its price set at $33,249, this new trim grade includes the aluminum roof shared with the Evo RS and MR, a new front lip extension, lightweight 17″ BBS wheels finished in a “Diamond Black” look, red-stitched Recaros, and HID headlamps.
The Graphite Grey exterior color depicted above looks good to us, but if that’s not your fancy, Mitsubishi will be happy to make you one in Apex Silver or Tarmac Black instead. Wth that, we bid a fond farewell to the Evo IX.

This feature bumps power up to 286 horsepower and 289 lb.-ft. of torque and is said to improve drivability. Other changes for the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX include an improved five-speed manual transmission, updated front-end styling, smoked headlight and taillight bezels, restyled Enkei wheels, and improvements to the interior trim and rear seating.
