Description[]
Launched in 2005 by Hot Wheels, the Lancer Evolution 7 is a direct representation of Mitsubishi's Seventh generation Lancer Evolution model. Originally only intended for sale in Japan, enthusiast demand in Europe brought the Lancer out of its JDM shell and through a firm called RalliArt introduced into Europe, but not North America.
This casting was originally introduced with a plastic body and separate wing. In 2008, the casting was given a metal body with the wing molded into the body as opposed to being separate; all future releases have used this body. The base of the casting reads Mitsubishi Evo 7; later versions read Mitsubishi Evo.
