Tamiya 24220 - 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI WRC  [24220]

Towards Lancer Evolution VI WRC:

• After winning the Driver's Title of the World Rally Championship three years in succession, Tommi Makinen together with Mitsubishi Ralliart Team came back to challenge the 1999 period aided by the Lancer Evolution VI.

  This latest inception of this Evolution features two primary cosmetic changes, a modified spoiler regarding the front and a two degree spoiler on the back. But due to a FIA limitation on wing area, the reduced wing associated with rear spoiler must be blocked up with a carbon panel. Pumping out 290ps, the powerplant for the Lancer VI features a 4G 63 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine designed with a DOHC-intercooled twin scroll turbocharger (Post Combustion Control System) and ECI multi-injection fuel system. Dependant on program conditions, the single scroll turbocharger for lots more energy, and/or double scroll turbocharger for greater response are chosen. The suspension system, the same as that the production vehicle, comprises of separate McPherson struts with coil springtime regarding the front, and separate multi-link with coil springtime in the back.

  Winner of 1998 World Rally Championship, Finland's Tommi Makinen and Belgium's Freddy Loix drive this proven device. Makinen chalked up 3rd place regarding Telstra Rally Australia, clinching the 1999 FIA World Rally Championship. Triumphing for an incredible 4th successive 12 months, Makinen enjoys the longest reign into the history of the WRC.
