Mitsubishi Evo Xtreme SC
Discussion
Spent the last 12 months of lock down recommissioning my Evo.
Not sure if anyone remembers Ralliart Extreme @ Dudley, they were the original official UK suppliers of the Evo until Mitsi decided to sell through their dealerships via Colt Car Company.
Extreme made some rare specials back in the day like the VI RS Sprint, RSX, Extreme, RS450 and then the VII Extreme S.
All of these cars are rare and made in very small numbers.
Mine is called the Xtreme SC which is based on a VII RS shell. Car was basically designed for track work with the ability to track and drive home.
Interesting spec when build like a Tommi 2.2 stroker engine, APs all around, Proflex Coilovers, roll cage, etc.
Unlike the VII Extreme S where they made 7 in total, they only made 1 of these.
Don’t wanna be one of those guys that bangs on about how rare his car is but really it’s probably the rarest UK supplied Evo.
How did I get hold of the car? Well I was looking for another early last year and I stumbled upon a mint VII at a Porsche Specialist last year. After doing lots of research and checking the cars plate history I linked it upto to the correct car.
When the car was sold via Xtreme the customer paid the dealership to make some changes which included fitting a Veilside body kit (used to be the thing back then). Since the car was parked up shortly after it was sold it was kinda lost and forgotten about until I found it.
So after taking ownership I sent the car to C1-R to recommissioned which included mapping as the turbo had been changed.
In the meantime I painstakingly sourced a front bumper and bonnet ready for the car to be sent for paint by a awesome painter in London.
End result? A very low mile rare car in virtually immaculate condition. Plus the underside is in great shape with no underseal.
I know it’s no Tommi Mac but it’s a special car to me and it’s great knowing I won’t see another.
Some pics.
