The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (ninth generation in case you were wondering) is set to go rallying later this week. While this news wouldn't be out of the ordinary, given the Lancer's winning history in rally racing, this is no ordinary Evo, and the rally event isn't an FIA sanctioned WRC event. Instead of burning high-octane gasoline, this car runs on volts and amps. The vehicle in question is Mitsubishi's Lancer Evo IX MIEV (Mitsubishi In-Wheel Electric Vehicle) prototype, and the rally is this year's Shikoku Electric Vehicle Rally.
