2009 Mitsubishi Evolution X Race Car

To be offered by Silverstone Auctions at the Race Retro Sale taking place on Friday 24th February.

Guide Price: £50,000 - £60,000

The Classic and Modern Motorsport Club (Southern), Modified/Super Saloon Series is open to a wide variety of cars which range downwards from some of the fastest saloons seen in national racing although the regulations are designed to prevent anyone enjoying a runaway advantage and drivers in all the classes have an equal opportunity of success. The 2023 series will be contested over 14 races at seven race meetings, where possible on just one day.

The superbly presented Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X on offer here was indeed prepared for that Championship in 2022 with evident success having collected the silverware for two wins and a number of second places. It was built by our vendor with input from some of the best Evo companies in the UK with no expense spared. The engine was the responsibility of TDI (a renowned engine builders in Essex) and, we understand, generates somewhere in the region of 740bhp.

The car’s spec runs to several pages but some of the most important aspects are listed here; (all brand new unless specified otherwise)

Fully forged engine from Torque developments £13k (currently runs on race fuel), Simon Norris Precision 6062 full turbo kit £9k, Julian Godfrey triple fuel kit, Syvecs ECU £6k, Alcon billet race brakes £4k, DS UNO carbon race pads £900, Nitron suspension £4k (just been set-up), Lightweight wheels, White line struts F+R with castor kit, STM large intercooler, Extra-deep baffled alloy sump, CAE quick-shifter (with new connecting cables and bushes), OEM coil packs, Carbon race seat, Lightweight throughout with T45 cage £3K, 2022 electronic fire extinguisher, 2022 electronic ignition system.

The car has only taken part in two races since the engine rebuild (one race on the new turbo) and always used Millers race oil which was changed after every race. Our vendor has retained all the invoices for the work carried out and they make interesting reading.

Remarkably, the Evo is road-registered with a V5C, has a full service history and the current MOT is valid until 17th July 2023. We understand that the car is fully Motorsport UK and BRSCC compliant and, whilst being built to conform with CMMCS Modified/Super Saloon Series regs, it may well be eligible to race in other championships.

We appreciate that a rather focused motor car like this is unlikely to be an ‘impulse purchase’ and consequently our consignor will be happy to answer any technical questions you may have. Naturally, the car is available for close inspection at Race Retro.
