British Police complete Evolution trilogy

Swaying from the standard police issue diesel hatchback which the British public have become accustomed to, the South Yorkshire Police department has acquired its third consecutive Mitsubishi Evolution pursuit vehicle.

The Evolution X will serve as a Road Crime unit alongside the previous Evolution VIII and IX generation currently in service, dealing in cases involving drug dealers and grand theft auto.


The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a favoured pursuit vehicle due to its effortless handling and performance which minimises the risk of accidents.


With a trilogy of all-paw pursuit cars on offer, the South Yorkshire Police prefer to ‘hunt’ in packs of three, which, Inspector Slack explained is often enough of a deterrent that high-speed chases are avoided.

The sight of three Evolutions in the rear mirror creates such a strong visual impact that the vehicle being pursued will often simply give up the chase and pull over, knowing they won’t be able to out-run the RCU.


The cars also boast the latest in Police hardware and software, with an onboard Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system allowing officers to check who the vehicle is registered to and if there is anything remotely suspicious about the vehicle.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution TMR Club-Spec

Mitsubishi is set to premiere a rally version of its new Lancer Evolution X which has been specially developed for the Australian Classic Adelaide tarmac rally by Team Mitsubishi Ralliart (TMR).


The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution TMR SST Club-Spec will make its public competitive debut as the flagship of Mitsubishi’s 12th year as official vehicle supplier to the event.

While certainly no slouch, the standard Evolution TC-SST on which it is based has received a raft of performance and competition upgrades.

The Club-Spec car boasts an upgraded 248kW engine, TMR race exhaust, lowered progressive-rate springs, competition brake pads and 245R18 R-Spec tyres.


Competition requirements also mean a roll cage, modified front seats with 6-point harnesses and two fire extinguishers have also been added.

The Team Mitsubishi Ralliart team, based in Melbourne, handles the development and preparation of competition cars and enhancement of Mitsubishi road vehicles.
The Lancer Evolution TMR SST Club-Spec is just one of 45 vehicles from Mitsubishi undertaking either competitive or logistical duties at this year’s Classic Adelaide tarmac rally.

Almost the entire Mitsubishi range will be utilised at the event, delivering equipment to stages, checking spectator locations, scanning the rally stages at high and low speeds, leading and following every category and providing transport for the Chief Safety Officer, medical response team, timing team, stewards, scrutineers and other officials.
