yes i am aware its an evo 8. both of the cars were the 8's (#1 and #6 in the video i believe) i believe that that event was the debut for the evo 8. I have worked on these things all my life.. when mitsu comes back to WRC it will be in a revamped 8. the only reason that they hit the states as rally cars so soon was for the release of the evo 8 here. those two cars toured the states in a couple weeks hitting huge mitsu dealers all along the way... Subaru has done the same thing with the new sti even though the sti will probably never rally... (they just take the hood scoop)
look at subaru... the rally car will only use the 2.0 liter engine due to restrictions. its kinda funny... the 2.0 liter rally engine puts out as much hp as the 2.5 sti that they are now selling in the states..
