Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo hit Classic Car status

When Classic and Sports Car Magazine write about a car, we know what happens next.

The July, 2016  edition of  Classic and Sports Car Magazine is a very exciting read indeed. The front cover features our beloved Aston Martin DB7, which everyone knows have begun their to escalation in value (which will be massive), as well as three other GT Supercars which are also heading North very fast indeed.

However, pages 131-135 are reserved for the rise of the Japanese Classic's, and the magazine is focussing on the Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Evo, Mitsubishi 3000GTO, Nissan Skyline, and the Toyota Celica GT4. The guys at the magazine have road tested the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo just as they would have done when these cars were new, and the write up is just as impressive as it was then. As we know, these cars were the first of a new generation of car that were connected with manufacturer's Rally programmes, and were also cars that offered acceleration from 0-100 kph at around the 5 second mark, all for a low price.

Inside these cars were not plush, being more functional and practical for fast road, and off road use. The switches were simple, and the driver did not have to be a rocket scientist to operate the car, nor to get the cars to go, as they did that in spades. The handling on both of these cars was superb, with the magazine describing the Evo's handling as "Other wordly", because there appeared to be no limit to the car's adhesion on the road.

Now that these cars have been featured in the U.K's Holy Grail Classic Car Magazine, interest will rise rapidly, as is always the case when a car has a write-up in this magazine.
