The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution properly modified can reach 221.4 mph in the standing mile run but the video below only reaches 220 mph. All-wheel drive and turbocharged, the Mitsubishi EVO 2 is one of the most desired JDM vehicles. This four door sedan with a rich rally heritage can be seen at most street races around the world mopping up the competition. There isn't many vehicles that can out launch the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution from a stand still. The typical excuse when racing against an all-wheel drive is to use a rolling start. Rolling start, or stand still these vehicles still are very fast for their small engines.

Obviously the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II used to reach 200+ mph in the standing mile was not stock. The only thing left stock about this car is probably the chassis.
