2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Tommi Mäkinen • Coming Soon

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition — often called the Evo 6.5 TME — is one of the most legendary versions of the Evo lineup. Released in 2000 by Mitsubishi Motors, it was built to celebrate rally driver Tommi Mäkinen and his four consecutive World Rally Championship titles with Mitsubishi.

🏁 Why It’s Special

The TME wasn’t just a cosmetic package — it featured meaningful performance and chassis upgrades inspired by Mitsubishi’s success in the World Rally Championship.

🔧 Performance Upgrades

• 2.0L turbocharged 4G63 engine (officially 276 hp, often underrated)

• Quicker-spooling titanium turbocharger

• Revised engine mapping for sharper throttle response

• Lowered ride height compared to the standard Evo VI

• Retuned suspension for improved cornering

• Quicker steering rack (more responsive turn-in)

The result is a more agile, sharper-feeling car compared to the regular Evo VI.

🎨 Visual Differences

The Tommi Mäkinen Edition has several unique styling cues:

• Special front bumper with a more aggressive design

• Unique 17-inch Enkei wheels

• Red-painted brake calipers

• Optional factory rally graphics

• “Tommi Mäkinen Edition” badging

It was most famously offered in Passion Red, though other colors like white, silver, and black were available.

🚗 Driving Experience

The TME feels more raw and responsive than the standard Evo VI:

• Faster steering response

• Stronger mid-range boost

• Tighter body control in corners

• Classic turbo surge feel

It’s a car that feels directly connected to Mitsubishi’s rally dominance of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

• Turbocharged and intercooled

• 5-speed manual transmission

• Advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) system0–60 mph in roughly 4.4–4.8 seconds

This particular Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI stands out in a striking factory red finish, a color that perfectly highlights its aggressive rally-bred styling. With 80,000 km (about 50,000 miles) on the odometer, it represents a well-driven but relatively low-mileage example for a performance car of its era.
