Description
Ralliart was Mitsubishi's factory-backed motorsport and performance division. In the UK, Ralliart UK worked directly with Mitsubishi Motors to develop and supply the famous FQ-series Lancer Evolutions, created specifically for the UK market.
These were not standard Japanese-market Evos.
Instead, the process was as follows:
Base Lancer Evolution models were imported into the UK
Vehicles were then professionally upgraded by Ralliart UK and approved performance specialists
Finished and sold brand new through Mitsubishi UK dealerships
Fully UK registered and supplied with manufacturer backing at the time
This is why FQ-series cars are regarded as official UK specials, rather than aftermarket or owner-modified vehicles.
Ralliart UK Performance Upgrades
Ralliart UK upgrade packages varied depending on model designation (FQ-300, FQ-320, FQ-340, FQ-360, FQ-400), but typically focused on delivering major performance gains while retaining reliability and drivability.
Engine & Power Enhancements
Common upgrades included:
Larger or uprated turbochargers
High-flow fuel injectors
Revised ECU calibration
Upgraded intercoolers and pipework
Performance exhaust systems
These changes delivered:
Power increases from approximately 400+ bhp
Significant torque gains across the rev range
Sharper throttle response and stronger mid-range performance
Chassis, Handling & Braking
To ensure the increased performance could be safely and confidently exploited, Ralliart UK also focused heavily on the chassis:
Revised suspension geometry for improved turn-in and stability
Enhanced braking systems, typically with larger discs and uprated pads
The result was a car that remained track-capable yet fully road-usable, maintaining the Evo's renowned balance and control.
Cooling & Reliability Improvements
Unlike typical aftermarket tuning, Ralliart UK upgrades were engineered with durability in mind:
Improved cooling for the turbo and drivetrain
Strengthened components to handle increased power output
Vehicles were tested and validated to ensure long-term reliability
