The Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 2009-2011 features turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC inline-four 4B11 T/C engine producing 237 horsepower at 6,000 rpm with 253 pound-feet peak torque at 3,000 rpm (6,500 rpm redline) through six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters and all-wheel-drive utilizing single-scroll turbocharger (versus twin-scroll in Evolution X) requiring premium 91 AKI fuel. Earlier 2004-2006 Ralliart generation delivered naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter SOHC 16-valve MIVEC engine producing 162 horsepower at 5,750 rpm with 162 pound-feet torque through five-speed manual or four-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive representing more accessible performance variant before turbocharged all-wheel-drive specification aligned platform closer to Evolution flagship.

Lancer Ralliart 2009+ positioned between standard Lancer models and high-performance Evolution X in Mitsubishi performance hierarchy offering turbocharged all-wheel-drive capability at lower price point than Evolution while maintaining sophisticated dual-clutch transmission technology and rally-inspired drivetrain engineering, popular among enthusiasts seeking accessible entry into turbocharged all-wheel-drive sport sedan segment with strong aftermarket tuning potential and Mitsubishi motorsport heritage. Platform benefited from Evolution X development sharing fundamental chassis architecture and powertrain components while differentiated through single-scroll turbocharger, less aggressive suspension tuning, and comfort-oriented interior appointments establishing Ralliart as compelling alternative for drivers prioritizing daily usability over maximum track performance without sacrificing turbocharged all-wheel-drive engagement supporting spirited driving on road and occasional track day applications.
