The Rally Car You Could Buy in India: Mitsubishi Lancer and Cedia

Ep 8 – Mitsubishi Lancer The Mitsubishi Lancer, Lancer Cedia, Mitsubishi Evo India – the rally car you could actually buy. The Lancer and Cedia shared their fundamental platform with the Evo sports cars that were winning world rally championships, and every owner knew it. No other manufacturer brought that level of motorsport heritage to the Indian market at that price point. In this episode of Gone But Not Forgotten, editor Sirish Chandran gets behind the wheel of the Lancer and the Cedia – the latter being his own first rally car. He shares old photographs, grainy footage, and the inside story of rallying a Group N Cedia. We also analyse the chassis and handling excellence that made these Mitsubishi cars so desirable, and turn up the volume on the Cedia’s exhaust to remind you exactly why these cars still have devoted followings. The Evo you could actually afford. This is its story.
