Mitsubishi announced the end of a national auction of the very last Lancer Evolution Final Edition produced in North America with the winning bid of $76,400.
The proceeds from the auction will benefit Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, both of which fall under the Feeding America umbrella.
This is the second Lancer Evolution Final Edition to be auctioned for charity. Last December, Mitsubishi auctioned the very first Lancer Evolution Final Edition, 1 of 1,600 produced, to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The winning bid for that vehicle was $46,200. Together, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Editions US0001 and US1600 have raised a total of $122,600 for charity.

The Lancer Evolution is revered by 'gear heads' around the world and is arguably the originator of the four-door sports car genre. The Final Edition model features a 5-speed transmission paired with a turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder 2.0L engine, making the Final Edition the most powerful mass-produced Evolution ever built with 303 hp. The Final Edition is based off the current GSR model and features lightweight two-piece Brembo brake rotors up front, accompanied by Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs at all four corners and Mitsubishi's innovative and unmatched Super All-Wheel Control system. The Lancer Evolution Final Edition includes a black painted aluminum roof, rear spoiler, red seat stitching and Final Edition Badging.
