The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V left its mark on rally stages when it debuted at the 1998 Catalonian Rally. Famous for its wide fenders and rally-focused upgrades, the car driven by Tommi Makinen is captured here in miniature. Tamiya's 1/24 rendition copies signature elements such as the pronounced front blister fenders and the rear fiberglass over fenders that increase the model's width to roughly 177mm.
This is a static display model crafted for accuracy and realism. Components come on plastic sprues for careful assembly, and the kit shows a detailed engine bay, an authentic interior layout, and a realistic chassis underside. Solid synthetic rubber slick tyres and a well modelled suspension system add to the authenticity, and the package includes waterslide decals plus clear pictorial instructions to guide completion.
