Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV Rally Car '97

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV Rally Car '97 is a rally car produced by Mitsubishi. It first appeared in Gran Turismo 4 Prologue and was featured in the subsequent mainline games until Gran Turismo 6.
It appears to be the #1 driven by Tommi Makinen, who won the 1997 World Rally Championship Driver's Title, having won the title in the previous season.
==In-game description==
"The Lancer Evo IV Group A machine that challenged WR cars and won a glorious victory."

==Trivia==
*Like many of the rally cars that made their transition from Gran Turismo 3, or in this case, Gran Turismo 4: Prologue, the paint scheme was modified between the two games to remove any information about a specific rally:
**The car that appears in-game is based on the #1 entered at the 1997 Rallye Monte Carlo and driven by Tommi Makinen. This is identifiable due to the "Lineltex" stickers above the driver number, the censored white sticker on the rear doors which was only used at the 1997 event, and the red rally plaque on the hood.
**The illegible sticker on the rear doors reads "Monte Carlo", and may have been censored due to Polyphony not having the license to the name, instead having to use Côte d'Azur for the name of the street circuit.
**The number plate, being almost unrecognizable in Gran Turismo 4, reads "P22 MRE". This specific chassis was raced until the 1998 Rally Monte Carlo, where it was wrecked by Makinen. The chassis was likely scrapped afterwards, as the team replaced the IV with the V from the Catalunya Rally afterwards and has not resurfaced since.
*From its appearance in Gran Turismo 4 onwards, the driver and co-driver names were replaced with indecipherable blocks.
**In its original high-poly appearance in Gran Turismo 4: Prologue, the names read "Makinen" and "Harjanne" with Finnish flags next to them. These flags were edited to not represent any country, instead appearing as white rectangles with horizontal gray lines.
