This is a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI. Designed by Hiroshi Fujii and introduced in 1999, was a high-performance version of the Mitsubishi Lancer.

The Evo VI, as it was commonly known, was launched on 2 January 1999 and mainly focused on cooling and engine durability. The car received a larger intercooler and oil cooler, new pistons and a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel for RS models, as well as a new bodywork consisting of a new front bumper with smaller fog lights. Various new models such as the RS2 and RS Sprint were introduced.

To commemorate Mitsubishi's WRC success, the Tom I Mäkinen Edition was launched in December 1999. The Tommi Mäkinen Edition was painted in red and also featured various other performance and aesthetic upgrades; it was named for Mäkinen, who gave Mitsubishi their greatest successes in rallying and due to its upgrades was colloquially known as the Evo 6.5. Production ended in 2001 with 10,100 produced.

Powered by a 2.0L 4G63 turbocharged inline-4 mated to a 5-speed manual, the Evo VI was also noted for its rally prowess. Raced by Marlboro Mitsubishi Ralliart in the World Rally Championship from 1999 to 2001, notable drivers of the Evo VI included the aforementioned Tommi Mäkinen, Freddy Loix, Thomas Rådström and Katsuhiko Taguchi. Mäkinen would give the Evo VI (and Evo 6.5) its greatest successes, winning the 1999 Drivers' Championship; with this victory, Mitsubishi had four straight championship wins. Mäkinen, with co-driver Risto Mannisenmäki, would finish 5th in 2000 with a victory at the Monte Carlo Rally. The Evo 6.5 was the last Group A-homologated Lancer Evolution to compete in the WRC, with the next rallying Lancer being designed and homologated strictly for WRC from the off.

Now this casting was designed by Mark Jones and introduced in 2021. This casting has seen six known releases, the last being this one in 2026. A version with a plastic base (but with a separate plastic wing) was introduced in 2025.


This is a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Designed by Dragan Vukadinović, the Eclipse is a sport compact car manufactured by Diamond Star Motors in Normal, Illinois for Mitsubishi Motors.

Introduced in 1991, the Eclipse is named for an undefeated English race horse who won 18 races in a row and retired. In 1995, the Eclipse was given a major restyling, having more rounded shapes and a larger interior. It maintained the market focus of the previous generation but marketed it to a broader audience. A few trim levels were available, such as the RS, GS and GS-T; the GS was a mid-range model with a Chrysler 420A 2.0L inline-4 making 140 horsepower.

For 1997, the car underwent a minor styling revision, with the front grille opening given a more aggressive profile and the headlights a sharper slant on the inner edges; the reverse lights were restyled as well, being moved out into the bumper fascia. The GS-T and GSX models were also given higher-profile rear spoilers. Production ended in 1999 with a new generation of Eclipse introduced in 2000; the Eclipse lineage would end production in 2012 although the name is currently being used for a series of crossovers manufactured by Mitsubishi.

The Eclipse gained some prominence in the Fast & Furious franchise, being driven by Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker). The "Hero 1" car was built by John Lapid and was fitted with a Robo Car Aero Armor body kit, GT roof scoop, APR wing and Axis SE7EN wheels. Six cars were used for filming. the Hero 1 car is currently located in the Hollywood Star Cars Museum in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Also introduced for this generation was a wagon version, known as the Evolution IX Wagon, which was only sold in Japan and produced in low numbers.

This is a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, named the GTO in Japan. Designed by Masaru Suzuki, the 3000GT was unveiled at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, positioning itself as a car which could compete against such cars such as the Toyota Supra, Nissan 300ZX, Subaru Alcyone SVX and Mazda Cosmo Eunos. The car resurrected the GTO name from the Galant GTO, but was renamed the 3000GT in other countries as Mitsubishi was concerned that connoisseurs would object to the car's nameplate which would evoke such cars as the Pontiac GTO and Ferrari 250 GTO, both of which were highly regarded. All versions were powered by a 3.0L 6G72 V6, with the VR-4 being fitted with all-wheel drive and twin turbochargers. The VR-4 was produced from 1991 to 1999; 16,416 were produced.

This is an '08 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, often shortened to Evo X. Designed by Omer Halilhodลพiฤ‡, the Evolution X was presaged by the Concept-X, basically showcasing what the next generation Lancer Evolution would look like; a second concept, the Prototype-X, would follow two years later. Powered by a 2.0L 4B11T turbocharged inline-6 pumping out between 276 to 440 BHP, the Evolution X was continously updated throughout its lifespan. Featuring a 6-speed dual clutch automatic (and various other transmissions), the Evolution X was by far the longest running Lancer Evolution, remaining in production for close to ten years before it was finally discontinued in May 2016.

Now, about the casting. This casting was designed by John Violette and introduced in 2008. This casting has received thirty-two known releases and remains highly popular to this day. This casting has a highly blocky feel and something that hasn't been seen on Hot Wheels cars for some time: plastic inserts as headlamps.
