What Does GT-A Mean?

The GT-A was Mitsubishi’s answer to enthusiasts who wanted all the performance and capability of the Evolution platform without the constant demands of a manual gearbox.

GT-A stands for Grand Touring Automatic. Unlike traditional Evolution models, the GT-A was equipped from the factory with an automatic transmission while retaining the legendary four wheel drive system and turbocharged performance that made the Evolution famous.

The result was a car that could comfortably handle everyday commuting while still delivering the grip, balance and turbocharged excitement expected from an Evo. Today the GT-A has developed a loyal following because it offers a different ownership experience while remaining a genuine Evolution model built on the CT9A platform.

Why The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Was So Important

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII represented a major step forward for the Evolution range.

Built on Mitsubishi’s stronger and larger Cedia platform, the Evolution VII introduced improved chassis rigidity, enhanced handling characteristics and greater stability compared with the Evolution VI.

The legendary 4G63 turbocharged engine remained at the heart of the package, delivering explosive performance combined with one of the most advanced all wheel drive systems available at the time.

Many enthusiasts consider the Evolution VII to be the foundation that led to the hugely successful Evolution VIII and Evolution IX models that followed.

Driving Experience

Even by modern standards the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GT-A remains an exciting and engaging performance car.

The turbocharged engine provides strong acceleration while the four wheel drive system delivers exceptional confidence in all weather conditions. The GT-A automatic transmission creates a more relaxed driving experience than a traditional manual Evolution, making it easier to enjoy on longer journeys and in daily use.

For buyers looking for a practical Japanese performance icon, the GT-A offers a unique balance between comfort and capability.

Why Import A Mitsubishi Evolution From Japan?

Whether you are searching for a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GT-A, Evolution VIII, Evolution IX or another Japanese performance icon, importing directly from Japan often provides the best value and widest selection.
