Import a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo from Japan

Rally-bred, 4G63T turbo power and full-time all-wheel drive — the Lancer Evolution is a homologation legend. We source clean examples directly from Japan’s dealer-only auctions and handle everything through to your door.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a rally car built for the road — a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive four-door that dominated the WRC and became a JDM icon. Japan’s home market has the widest choice of clean, standard examples, and as a licensed proxy buyer with access to 120+ auction houses, KMT Global finds you the exact Evo you want, verifies its condition, and manages the purchase and export end to end.

You don’t need us to have one in stock. Tell us the generation and grade — from the 4G63T Evo IV–IX to the later Evo X — and we bid on your behalf at true wholesale auction prices, no dealer markups, no hidden margins.

Which Evo to import

The enthusiast core runs from the Evo IV to the Evo IX (1996–2007), all powered by the 2.0-litre 4G63T turbo with Mitsubishi’s Active Yaw Control all-wheel-drive system. The Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition, and the Evo VIII and IX, are the most sought-after; the Evo X (2007–2016) moved to the aluminium 4B11T and offers the twin-clutch SST.

Grades matter: the RS is the lightweight, stripped-out homologation base, while the GSR is the fully-equipped road car. We confirm the exact generation, grade and chassis code at auction — and check for the usual signs of hard use — before bidding.

Importing an Evo to your country

For the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia the Lancer Evolution is right-hand drive from the factory and fits RHD markets directly — there is no age restriction in the UK or Ireland.

For the United States the 25-year rule applies: the Evo IV, V and VI are eligible now, with the Evo VII, VIII and IX becoming eligible year by year. (US buyers note the officially-sold Evo VIII/IX are left-hand drive — JDM imports are right-hand drive.) Tell us the year you want and we’ll confirm its status.

Wherever you are, we handle the auction purchase, export documentation, de-registration and shipping, and walk you through what to expect at your end.

What it costs

Clean, standard Evos — especially the Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen and low-mileage Evo VIII/IX cars — are climbing in value, and many have been modified or worked hard, so condition and originality drive price. Tell us your budget and we’ll show you recent sold data and a realistic target range before you commit.
