4. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Top Speed – 158 mph
Zero to Sixty – 4.9 seconds

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is the final incarnation of the Lancer model line. The Lancer Evolution X may appear to be a sporty looking sedan, but under the hood is a 291 horsepower turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder monster. With 300 lb-ft of torque, the Lancer Evolution X can beat most cars off the line. With a zero to sixty of 4.9 seconds and top speed of 158 mph, not many cars can keep up. The all-wheel drive and fine tuned suspension allows the Lancer Evolution X to navigate corners with ease. Instead of a manual transmission, the Lancer Evolution X comes equipped with a six-speed twin clutch automatic with launch control.
