Born From Rally –
The Mitsubishi EVO Tommi Makinen Edition
If there’s one car that perfectly captures the spirit of rally heritage and unapologetic turbocharged attitude, it’s the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition—better known as the EVO TME. Built to honour four-time World Rally Champion Tommi Mäkinen, this special edition wasn’t just a marketing exercise; it was Mitsubishi’s way of bottling rally magic and handing the keys to the public.
The TME takes the already impressive EVO VI and turns the dial even further. Its upgraded titanium turbine, sharper throttle response, revised exhaust, and improved turbo spool make it feel like the car is constantly urging you to press a little harder. Add to that quicker steering, a lower ride height, and suspension tuned for even more razor-sharp handling, and you get a machine that feels like it’s reading the road before you do.
Visually, the TME is unmistakable. The iconic ‘Ralliart’ red-white-black livery, the unique front bumper, 17-inch Enkei wheels, and special interior trim all combine to give it a presence that refuses to go unnoticed. It’s a car that looks fast standing still—and somehow even faster the moment you reach for the ignition.
What makes the Tommi Mäkinen Edition so special today isn’t just its performance; it’s the emotion tied to it. It represents an era when rally cars were raw, mechanical, and truly connected to the driver. For enthusiasts, it’s a rolling tribute to one of motorsport’s greatest champions.
For photographers, the TME is a dream subject—bold lines, aggressive stance, and motorsport pedigree in every detail. Whether on the street or gravel, its personality shines through any lens.
