HKS LANCER EVOLUTION
DIRT TRIAL
While focusing on the development of tuning parts, manufacturing, and sales,
HKS has been involved in various motorsports such as touring cars and drifting competitions.
As a new motorsport activity, the team built a machine for a time attack competition on unpaved roads called
"Dirt Trial." The car is based on the "Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X" and has undergone major modifications,
including a short wheelbase, radiator side mounts,
and a special suspension with paddle shifters, making it a distinct machine from the production car.
The driver is Katsuhiko Taguchi, a veteran rally and dirt trial driver with a wealth of experience.
Please look forward to our full-fledged participation in JAF-accredited competitions.
