Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition Black AUTOart 1:18

Sold out
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition Black AUTOart 1:18 77158 Diecast
1 / 8
AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition in black gives the rally-bred homologation special a stealthier finish than its white sibling. The unique front bumper and bonnet scoop stay sharply defined against the dark paint, with opening doors over a driver-focused cabin. A striking alternative for a JDM rally-homologation shelf.

About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition Black AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition in black offers a stealthier alternative to the more common white livery, keeping the same rally-bred bumper and stance that honoured Mitsubishi's four-time WRC champion. A distinctive colour choice for collectors already holding the white edition.

Where white lets the Makinen Edition's bumper lines shout, black makes them work harder, and that is the appeal of AUTOart's dark 1:18 version.

Black Paint Against Rally-Bred Bodywork

Dark colours are unforgiving on a diecast model: every panel seam and shut line shows under direct light rather than hiding in a busier finish, so a black Evo VI is a genuine test of AUTOart's build quality. The Tommi Makinen Edition's front bumper, with its wider lower intake and altered lip, reads as a subtler silhouette change in black than in white, rewarding a closer look rather than an instant read from across a room. AUTOart's diecast construction keeps opening doors and bonnet over the same driver-focused cabin as the white edition, and the wheel-arch extensions and bonnet scoop remain correctly proportioned regardless of colour. For collectors who already own the white version, the black edition offers a genuinely different display character rather than a simple recolour, since dark paint changes how the whole silhouette reads on a shelf.

Same Homologation Story, Different Presence

The mechanical and historical story here matches the white edition: Mitsubishi built the Tommi Makinen Edition in 1999 to mark its driver's fourth consecutive World Rally Championship title, with the road car carrying over as much of the works rally car's specification as homologation rules allowed. What changes with black paint is less the history and more the shelf presence, since a dark JDM saloon sits differently among rally liveries than a white one does, often reading as the more understated, driver's-choice option. Displayed alongside the white edition, the pair tells a fuller story of how one homologation special could be specified, and either version anchors a Mitsubishi corner of a JDM rally-bred display convincingly on its own.
