INTRODUCTION
In 1981, due to their prior success in rallying with the Lancer 1600 GSR, Mitsubishi developed the Lancer EX 2000 Turbo specifically for Group 4 homologation. However, two years later when Group B was introduced Mitsubishi knew that their quite conventional Lancer, which was also suffering from teething troubles, would not be competitive in the new category seeing how the Audi quattro was very successful in the World Rally Championship (WRC) with its four-wheel drive system. It was evident to Mitsubishi that a new and bespoke Group B car was needed with the same kind of drivetrain.
