About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition Red AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition in red reproduces Mitsubishi's 1999 homologation special, built to mark Tommi Makinen's run of consecutive WRC drivers' titles. Detail-focused JDM diecast construction suits a subject built for rally credibility over comfort.
Mitsubishi named this Evo VI variant after a driver, not a trim level, and that alone tells you what the car was built to prove on rally stages.
A Homologation Special Named for a WRC Champion
Tommi Makinen won his fourth consecutive World Rally Championship drivers' title in a Lancer Evolution, and Mitsubishi responded by building a road-going edition that carried his name and a genuine set of upgrades over the standard Evo VI, including Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel, a quicker steering ratio, and a reworked front bumper that improved cooling and aerodynamics for rally-derived duty. This wasn't badge-only marketing, the changes were mechanical as much as cosmetic, aimed at buyers who wanted the closest road-legal link to Mitsubishi's rally program available at the time. Red paint on this edition echoes the Ralliart competition colors the works team carried, tying the road car back to the stages it was built to commemorate.
AUTOart's JDM Detail on a Rally-Bred Sedan
AUTOart has a strong track record with Japanese performance sedans, and the Evo VI TME rewards that focus with visible Recaro-style seat detailing, correct wheel design, and the front bumper's revised intake shape rendered accurately rather than simplified. The diecast body carries genuine weight, doors typically open, and the cabin trim reflects the homologation special's upgraded fittings rather than the plainer standard Evo interior. For a collector building a Japanese rally-homologation shelf alongside Subaru's contemporary WRC-linked models, this Evo VI anchors the Mitsubishi side of that rivalry with real specification accuracy behind it.
