FOREWORD
This manual has been prepared as an introduction
to the specifications, features, construction, func-
tions, etc. of the newly developed LANCER EVOLU-
TION-VII. Please read this manual carefully so that
it will be of assistance for your service activities.
Please note that the following service manuals are
also available and should be used in conjunction
with this manual.
WORKSHOP MANUAL S0105CT9A
All information, illustrations and product descrip-
tions contained in this manual are current as of the
time of publication. We, however, reserve the right
to make changes at any time without prior notice or
obligation.
The EVOLUTION-VII is sold exclusively through
RALLIART Inc. Since the EVOLUTION-VII is a rally-
based model, it will not be warranted and will not be
homologated for general production. Therefore, any
service matters on the EVOLUTION-VII should be
inquired to RALLIART Inc. as usual.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
MODEL INDICATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this manual for identification of model types.
MPI: Indicates the multipoint injection, or engine equipped with the multipoint injection.
DOHC: Indicates an engine with the double overhead camshaft, or models equipped with such an engine.
M/T: Indicates the manual transmission, or models equipped with the manual transmission.
A/C: Indicates the air conditioner.
TARGETS OF DEVELOPMENT
A new competitive device in addition to technology established in the previous motor sport events to
improve potential performance as well as outward and inward appearance with a sophisticated view to
represent a high performance sedan of the next generation has been featured to improve the image
of Mitsubishi brand.
Furthermore, enhancement of competitiveness as well as driving performance in various motor sport
events has been sought.

INTERIOR
DESIGN FEATURES
High performance interior to provide an impression
of sports minded vehicle as the 7th generation
EVOLUTION
(1) Combination meter exclusively for EVOLU-
TION-VII with a configuration of a circular
tachometer in the center and thick bezels
(partitions between meters) with discreet design
create appeal for fearless determination and
sporty feelings.
(2) The Mitsubishi original design made by MOMO
used for the steering has the same design used
for horn pad as the shift lever to express
integration of the image and high performance
interior.
(3) The Mitsubishi original design made by Recaro
used for the front seat has a sewing line
surrounding circumference of the sides to
emphasize the good holding.

AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Deterioration of aerodynamic performance accompanied with enlargement of the body size has been
suppressed by attaching a large-sized under cover on the lower part of the engine compartment, optimizing
elevation angle setting of rear spoiler.
(1) Under cover
A large- sized under cover is designed for compatibility of reduction of air resistance and reduction
of lift.
(2) Rear spoiler
Lift control by attaching elevation angle adjustable rear spoiler and optimizing attached position of
the spoiler are designed for reduction of air resistance.
