The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GT Wagon represents one of the most distinctive models in the Evolution lineage, combining the performance engineering of the legendary Lancer Evolution IX with the practicality and versatility of a station wagon. Built on the CT9W platform, the Evolution Wagon was developed as a genuine high-performance model rather than simply a conventional wagon wearing Evolution styling.
At its heart is Mitsubishi's legendary 4G63 MIVEC 2.0-liter intercooled turbocharged inline-four engine, producing 280 ps at 6,500 rpm and 40.0 kgf·m of torque at 3,000 rpm. In GT specification, the engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, giving the Evolution Wagon the performance-oriented drivetrain configuration most closely associated with the Evolution IX sedan.
Power is delivered through Mitsubishi's sophisticated full-time 4WD system featuring Active Center Differential (ACD) technology. Working together with a mechanical rear limited-slip differential, the system provides excellent traction and stability while maintaining the responsive handling characteristics expected from a Lancer Evolution.
The Evolution Wagon was not simply created by adding a wagon body to the Evolution platform. Mitsubishi specifically reinforced the body structure to maintain the rigidity required for high-performance driving, allowing the car to retain genuine Evolution handling characteristics while providing the additional cargo capacity and everyday versatility of a station wagon.
Its factory equipment further reflects its performance-focused engineering. Brembo ventilated disc brakes provide substantial stopping performance, while ADVAN performance tires and Sport ABS with EBD complement the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. Inside, factory RECARO sport seats provide the support expected from a genuine Evolution model while reinforcing the car's driver-focused character.
This particular example has been tastefully modified with a selection of well-known Japanese performance components. A FUJITSUBO exhaust system enhances the character of the turbocharged 4G63, while RS-R lowering springs provide a lower, more purposeful stance.
The exterior is further distinguished by ADVAN Racing GT 18-inch alloy wheels, aftermarket aero components, and aftermarket side mirrors. Together, these modifications give the Evolution Wagon a more aggressive appearance while retaining the unmistakable proportions and identity of the original CT9W.
Inside, a NARDI steering wheel and RALLIART shift knob add a classic Japanese performance touch to the cabin. Combined with the factory RECARO sport seats and 6-speed manual transmission, these upgrades create a more engaging and driver-focused environment.
The Lancer Evolution Wagon occupies a particularly unique position in Mitsubishi's performance history. Limited to a total production run of 2,500 units across the GT and GT-A variants, it brought genuine Evolution engineering—including the 4G63 turbocharged engine, sophisticated four-wheel-drive technology, Brembo brakes, and reinforced chassis—into a practical five-door wagon package.
The GT specification is particularly appealing to enthusiasts, combining the full 280 ps output of the 4G63 MIVEC engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. This gives the car much of the mechanical character associated with the Evolution IX sedan while adding the versatility that makes the Evolution Wagon such an unusual proposition.
Combining the desirable GT 6-speed manual specification with carefully selected modifications from respected Japanese brands such as ADVAN Racing, FUJITSUBO, RS-R, NARDI, and RALLIART, this 2005 Lancer Evolution IX GT Wagon offers a distinctive combination of performance, practicality, and classic Japanese tuning character.
