History: The Mitsubishi Lancer in the Dakar Rally

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is synonymous with success in rallying. Although its most well-known achievements are linked to the World Rally Championship (WRC), the Japanese saloon also found its place in the long days of the Dakar, where mechanical reliability and the ability to absorb the punishment of the terrain are as important as top speed.

The Mitsubishi Ralliart team bet on the Dakar for years with different versions of their vehicles, and the Lancer represented the most compact and agile side of that bet. The decoration captured by this Avant Slot body reflects the visual identity of that era, with the colours and sponsors that accompanied the Lancer through desert stages, dirt tracks, and rocky roads that define the most demanding event in motorsport.

For the slot and collecting enthusiast, having this body on the circuit is a way to pay tribute to a golden era of Japanese mechanics in international raid competition.
