Subaru WRX owners beware: the Lancer Evolution VII is officially coming to America in January 2003. Typically referred to as the "Evo," Mitsubishi's hot-rod Lancer is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Visually set apart from other mundane Lancers by a more aggressive front fascia, hood vents, larger wheels, and a rear wing, the Evo VII may look tame, but its capabilities are anything but. Powered by a turbocharged inline-four that produces 276 horsepower (the U.S. version will have around 250), the VII features an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system, an active center differential, active yaw control, and Sport ABS, which monitors the steering wheel angle to reduce understeer when cornering. Other rally-inspired tidbits include a Momo steering wheel, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and 17-inch OZ wheels wearing 235/45ZR-17 Yokohama Advan tires. When it comes to our shores, expect a price between $25,000 - $30,000.
