The latest version, the Evo X, had a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 291 horsepower. Experts say the engine’s output was more likely around the 320 hp mark, but Mitsubishi chose to market it with 291 hp. The performance figures were astonishing. The 0 to 60 mph time was 4.5 seconds and the Evo X could almost top 160 mph.
