Always very involved in rallying, Mitsubishi took a long time to create the perfect car. The Lancer Evolution had to be declined in three generations before experiencing success, in the final period of Group A. It then continued its successful career with the new WRC regulations. Introduced in February 1995, the Evo III Rally receives many improvements to the engine and brakes. The engine is a 1997cc inline 4-cylinder, with a power of 300hp at 6000 rpm. The aerodynamics are also new, with a striking rear spoiler. The Evo III won the 1996 World Rally Championship with Tommi Makinen winning five of the nine scheduled races.

SPARK-MODEL

In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
