This car was brought into the country in 2006 with some slight damage. It has been on the road in NZ for 19 years now. It was also just re registered as the car was in storage and the rego lapsed. It is in extremely good condition for the age.

The 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GT-A was a rare beastcombining rally-bred aggression with urban sophistication in a way few cars dared.

Lets dive into what makes this particular Evo stand out:

A Gentlemans Rally Car
The GT-A was Mitsubishis attempt to civilize the wild Evo VII for daily drivingwithout neutering its performance. It retained the legendary 4G63 turbocharged inline-4 engine, pumping out around 276 horsepower, but paired it with a 5-speed automatic transmissiona first for the Evolution line.

Engine: 1,997 cc DOHC 16-valve turbocharged inline-4 (4G63)

Transmission: INVECS-II 5-speed automatic with adaptive shift control

Drivetrain: Full-time AWD with active centre differential

Weight: Approx. 1,480 kg

Fuel: Premium gasoline

Smart and Smooth
The GT-As INVECS-II transmission wasnt just any slushboxit learned your driving style and adjusted shift points accordingly. Whether you were cruising through town or carving up backroads, it adapted to deliver the right gear at the right time.

Subtle Swagger
Unlike its winged and vented siblings, the GT-A wore a more subdued look. It ditched the oversized rear spoiler and aggressive aero for a cleaner, executive-style appearance. But dont be fooledunderneath, it was still every bit an Evo.

Why Its Cool
Its the only automatic Evo VII, making it a unicorn among rally legends.

It offered daily drivability without sacrificing the Evos DNA.

Its a sleeperlooks tame, drives like a maniac.
