Games[]
Need for Speed: Shift[]
The Evolution IX MR-edition appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 2 car with a price of $50,000. Similar to every other tier 2 car, it is required to collect 30 Stars to unlock the car.
The Lancer Evolution has a 5.90 car rating. Its braking and handling capabilities are impressive in technical corners. It has a decent acceleration, which is better than that of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and useful exiting corners quickly.
However, the engine performance of the Lancer Evolution does appear to slightly lack in comparison with the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The WRX STI utilises its advantage of power at the cost of less traction though.
