MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO VI RS450 Extreme -- https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1999-mitsubishi-lancer-evo-vi-rs450-extreme
A unique opportunity to own one of the rarest Lancer Evolutions ever built, understood to be one of only four RS450s produced, of which three now remain.
Its Ralliart-prepared 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four engine produces around 438bhp and 412lb-ft of torque, delivered to all four wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.
The RS450 evolved from the already-advanced Evo VI RSII, removing the Anti-Yaw Control (AYC) and Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) in order to save weight and give the driver maximum control.
An original UK-market car, first registered in March 2000, it has been with its current owner for the last 12 years.

Celebrating the Evo’s last true success in motorsport, the RS450 boasts a Ralliart-blueprinted engine with competition-spec crankshaft,connecting rods and forged pistons, as well as high-lift cams, competition head gasket and lightened valves.
