HOW can the desirability of the acclaimed Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII be increased? Simple, by making it even more affordable and offering three years free servicing. And that's just what Mitsubishi has done, up until December 31 the Evolution VIII 260 is offered at an on-the-road price of £22,999, a saving of £1,000 on the list figure. In addition, Mitsubishi is offering free servicing for three years, or 27,000 miles, whichever comes sooner.

Mitsubishi Motors UK is confident that this latest package will open up Evolution ownership to a wider audience and encourage greater sales as Paul Brigden, general manager for Ralliart, explains: "This realignment in pricing and valuable offer on servicing is designed to make owning an Evolution VIII even more attractive. It brings prices in line or even lower than that of other cars in this sector, many of which cannot match the technological features and performance of the Evolution."

This special offer package sees the Evolution VIII represent even greater value for money so that even more people can experience the legendary handling and performance that has become synonymous with the brand.
