7. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (1992)

Although the Mitsubishi Lancer was first produced in 1973, the Lancer Evolution was created for the company to compete in the World Rally Championship in 1992. In order to have a good showing, the company added a four-wheel drive to the auto as well as a 2.0 liter V4 turbocharged engine to create the Evolution. The supped up engine was able to achieve 244 horsepower, and was only sold in Japan during this timeframe. It would take the company until 2003 for the car to be exported in the United States. The current generation of the auto, Evolution X, is also a turbocharged vehicle and has an even better performance rating than the company’s original turbo model.
