About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition Black AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition in black gives Mitsubishi's 1999 homologation sedan a darker, less rally-livery presence than the white version. The reworked turbo-intake bumper and Recaro stitching still identify it as a TME, reproduced in AUTOart's diecast detail.
Where the white Tommi Makinen Edition wears its rally connection openly, black turns the same homologation sedan into something closer to a sleeper, and that contrast is worth noticing on a shared shelf.
How Black Changes This AUTOart Evo VI
Under direct light, the black finish reads the reworked front bumper differently than white does, since the enlarged turbo-intake opening reads as a shadow rather than a bright highlight, giving the whole nose a more aggressive, less obviously rally-branded look. AUTOart's diecast body carries the same weight and construction across colorways, and the doors and hood open on the same hinges the white edition uses. The red Recaro seat stitching that marks any Tommi Makinen Edition stands out more sharply against black interior trim than it did against a lighter cabin, which is a small but real difference in how the detail reads. Wheel and brake caliper definition hold up under the darker paint, since AUTOart does not simplify tooling based on color choice. For a buyer who wants the TME's mechanical story without the white car's rally-poster look, black is the quieter option.
Same Homologation Story, Different Presence
Underneath the color, this is the same car as the white TME: a homologation special built to legalize Ralliart's competition upgrades, with a quicker steering rack and a titanium-turbine turbocharger over the standard Evo VI. Mitsubishi built it in limited numbers to honor Tommi Makinen's run of four consecutive WRC titles, and the mechanical changes matter more to the car's identity than the paint does. Displayed next to a white TME, a black one makes the case that this Evo's significance lives in its hardware, not its livery, which is a useful anchor point for a JDM rally-sedan collection built around more than one color.
