Sierra-Sierra 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III
This year’s SEMA Show participants could be wowed by the Sierra-Sierra 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III, which will feature some of the most cutting-edge technology in the aftermarket.

The folks at BorgWarner Turbo Systems, Asheville, N.C., say just pop the hood, and showgoers will be instantly drawn to the Mitsubishi 4G63 2.2.L Cosworth engine boosted by the hot, new EFR performance turbo series by BorgWarner Turbo Systems, which will be leading the way to a better than ever level of efficient and powerful performance.

The EFR turbocharger blows compressed air past the Nissan 80mm throttle body through HKS Kansai intake plenum to make the power. The engine is electronically controlled by the Cosworth Pectel SQ6 engine control unit, together with the Mitsubishi five-speed tranny casting with Quaife internals, keeping things running smoothly.
For handling, the Evolution features four-way adjustable Dynamic dampers with front and rear Eibach ERS racing springs, and the stopping power of front and rear Brembo Monoblock four-piston, 380mm rotors hidden inside a set of Hankook Ventus tires featuring Rays Engineering Volk Racing wheels.

High-performance brakes control speed responsively and ensure that this Mustang stops at the end of the chase.
