It's in all the rally video games and now FNF2. Plus all the car reviews rave how the evo is basically a near super car at affordable prices.
brief article on the Evo
Daniel Jette says that when he saw a television commercial for the Lancer Evolution, he exclaimed to a friend, "Hey, that's my car!" Mr. Jette, a 21-year-old junior at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., has been racing an Evolution for more than a year, although Mitsubishi only recently began importing the car ? and although he does not actually have an Evo.
In fact, Mr. Jette doesn't own a car at all. Rather, he is familiar with Mitsubishi's pint-size supercar because it is a video game superstar. Various versions of the Evolution ? the car now on sale is the eighth ? have had a following in rally racing for more than decade. Limited numbers of street-legal cars have been sold in Europe and Japan since 1992.
The Lancer Evolution made its small-screen debut in 1997 in a game by Infogames Multimedia called V Rally. Today, Evolutions are featured in 60 games for game consoles like the Sony PlayStation, and in 15 arcade games. Racing games ? which often let players pick cars from a list of possibilities ? have not only introduced millions of young people to Mitsubishi, they have built an awareness of Ralliart, the subsidiary that produces high-performance parts, and will soon lend its name to sporty versions of street Mitsubishis. Many games let players modify their vehicles with Ralliart racing parts.
One of the hottest games now is RalliSport Challenge by Microsoft Game Studios. It incorporates four types of competition: traditional, ice racing, hill climbing and rally cross. Players can pick from 29 vehicles, including the Evolution VI and 6.5, and compete on 48 courses, including Safari challenges in Africa, frozen Nordic roads or treacherous hills in the Pacific Northwest. Referring to the Evo in that game, Mr. Jette said: "I was really impressed, because it was four-wheel drive, and when customized with a turbo and top-notch exhaust system, the Evo was a terror on the rally courses."
Lucas Winters, 17, of Williamstown, Mass., a recent graduate who is on a Caribbean church mission, said: "I've been playing video games since I was 5, and driving cars for a long time. I'd buy the Evo if I could."
