KOTTAYAM, Kerala – In an urgent and rather quirky turn of events, a turbocharged 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer, renowned for its power and style, has hit the market in Kottayam, Kerala, possibly seeking refuge from the vigilant Kerala Police. The vehicle, a fiery red sensation with striking white alloy wheels, is not just a car but a statement on wheels.
This tastefully modified eighth-generation Lancer, a model that has had its fair share of transformations since its debut, is being offered at a steal for INR 3 lakh. The urgency of the sale adds to the intrigue, as the car has been passed down through five owners since its introduction in India between 2006-2013. This particular model, a testament to automotive evolution, boasts a front-engine and front-wheel-drive system.
The 2005 model year of this Lancer, a part of the lineage that underwent a significant facelift in February 2003 for the 2004 model year, features a front styling in line with Mitsubishi’s corporate look and a redesigned rear. These changes were further enhanced in 2005 for the 2006 model year, giving it a unique blend of style and performance.
Interestingly, while the Lancer was sold as a sedan in India, it also enjoyed popularity in station wagon body style in various other countries. The red-hot Lancer up for grabs in Kerala, with its unique modifications, is sure to be a head-turner and possibly a speed-turner, if Kerala’s police have anything to say about it.
So, for those in Kottayam looking for a piece of automotive history with a dash of thrill (and a hint of mischief), this Mitsubishi Lancer might just be the perfect match. Just remember to keep an eye on the rearview mirror for any flashing lights!
