The intense rivalry between Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution and Subaru's Impreza WRX is the subject of this new book from veteran automotive journalist Huw Evans. These dueling all-wheel-drive, turbocharged four-cylinders have battled each other on rally stages, road courses, drag strips, and the street across two decades and around the globe, attracting millions of rabid fans in the process. 

     WRX vs. Evo tells the story of these groundbreaking cars from their inception to the present day. It covers the complete development histories of both the Lancer Evolution and Impreza WRX and includes a comprehensive account of their World Rally Championship participation, highlighted by four drivers' championships for Mitsubishi and three constructors' crowns for Subaru. 

     Additional coverage includes the most complete compilation of special edition cars to be found anywhere, a full rundown of official factory specs, nearly 200 photos of street and rally cars, and historical information about the two companies and how these remarkable cars came to be.
