Specifically, it was equipped with a titanium turbocharger, lowered suspension, quicker steering, upgraded exhaust, new ECU, strengthened transfer case internals, redesigned front bumper for improved cooling, and authentic 17-inch WRC Enkei alloy wheels.
However, the Evo VI RS Tommi Makinen ‘Monte Carlo’ Edition took everything the TME has and dialed them up to eleven. It came with the Ralliart UK Stage 1 engine performance pack, which provided better acceleration, improved throttle response, and overall drivability. It’s also equipped with Eibach springs with revised geometry for improved handling, plus a competition close-ratio gearbox and a Group N rally-specification front helical differential. The interior, on the other hand, gets Recaro SR front seats.
It also definitely produced more power than the claimed 276 horsepower.
With a TME able to rake $140,000 at an auction, we have no doubt this rarer version can fetch bigger numbers. Too bad it won’t arrive stateside – at least for now.
