About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition White AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition in white recreates the 1999 homologation sedan Mitsubishi named after its four-time WRC champion. The larger front bumper intake, quicker steering, and red Recaro stitching separate it from a standard Evo VI, all reproduced in AUTOart's diecast detail.
Naming a road car after a driver only works if the driver's record backs it up, and Tommi Makinen's four straight WRC titles gave Mitsubishi every reason to put his name on this Evo.
AUTOart's Detail Approach to the Tommi Makinen Edition
AUTOart built its reputation on JDM performance cars, and this Evo VI shows why: the diecast body carries real weight in hand, doors and hood typically open on AUTOart's 1:18 range, and the white finish sets off the red accents that made the TME instantly recognizable in period. Panel lines around the reworked front bumper, with its larger intake for the titanium-turbine turbo, are crisp rather than blurred together, and the wheel design matches the homologation car's specific fitment rather than a generic Evo wheel. Inside, the red Recaro stitching that marked Makinen's signature edition comes through in the seat detail, a small touch that separates this from a standard Evo VI reproduction. It is a diecast built for buyers who know exactly which version they are after.
A Homologation Special With a Real Rally Pedigree
The Tommi Makinen Edition existed to satisfy WRC homologation rules while giving road buyers a taste of the works rally car's changes: a quicker steering rack, a titanium-turbine turbocharger for faster spool-up, and suspension tuning lifted straight from Ralliart's competition program. It sold in limited numbers alongside the standard Evo VI, making it the rarer, more focused version of an already focused car. For a collector building a JDM rally-sedan shelf, the TME sits as the clearest link between showroom and stage, and this white edition captures the color scheme most associated with Mitsubishi's championship-winning cars of the era.
